Starting residential electric service

If you plan to move into SRP's service territory, welcome! You've made a great choice and we look forward to serving you. Turn-on service is available Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

Turn-on where a meter exists

It's easy to start electric service at your new address. Simply call us at (602) 236-8888 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Requests must be received by 7 p.m. to guarantee next-day service at the standard turn-on fee.

We'll take care of everything from there -- you don't need to be home when we connect power if we can safely access the meter. We must have unrestricted access to the electric meter to turn service on or off. Our employees cannot enter fenced yards with locked gates, and for safety reasons, they cannot enter yards with off-leash dogs.

Turn-on where a meter is needed

If you are about to move into a brand-new home in SRP's service territory where the meter has not yet been installed, please arrange for meter install by calling Residential Customer Service (602) 236-8888 at least 15 business days before your anticipated move-in date. The advance notice is needed in case the city or county requires an electrical inspection before we can energize the meter.

Please provide the following information when you call:

  • Date you want electric service to start
  • Address of the home where we need to activate power
  • Billing address, if different from the home address
  • Social Security number and place of employment of the person whose name will be on the account, and their spouse's name, if applicable.

After you call, we'll take care of everything from there -- you don't need to be home when we connect power if we can safely access the meter. We must have unrestricted access to the electric meter to turn service on or off. Our employees cannot enter fenced yards with locked gates, and for safety reasons, they cannot enter yards with off-leash dogs.
