Contact utility companies approximately two weeks before your move. If you’re transferring utilities, notify the provider, giving your new address and the dates for shutting off service at the current location and turning it on at the new one. If you need to cancel utilities due to changing providers, inform the current provider, providing the address and the account closure date. For setting up new services, visit the website of the new utility provider or call them directly. Provide the address where utilities are required and specify the start date for service. Taking these steps ahead of time ensures a smooth transition for your utility services during the move.
