We are typically able to connect service on the same day it’s requested, as long as your order is received by 12 p.m., Mon-Sat. Otherwise, your service will be connected by the following business day. More time may be required, however, depending on conditions at the property.

We will provide you with the service start time once your order is submitted.

If you need an overlap of service longer than 45 days, you will not be able to transfer your service from one address to the other. Instead, you will need to:

1. Stop service at the address you’re vacating. You can choose the service end date during the process.
2. Start service at the new location. You will create a new account for the new service address.

Until service ends at the address you’re vacating, you will have two accounts with FPL.

Yes, as long you’re moving to an area serviced by FPL. You can quickly check whether your location is served by FPL by entering in your address in the Service Area Map.

If you are moving to an area where FPL is not the electric provider, you will need to stop your service with FPL and start service with the new provider.
