Transfer Your Services & Utilities When You Move

by | Feb 2, 2017 | Features

A hassle-free move is largely a matter of remembering the details, and dealing with utilities well in advance of moving day can help insure anyone’s peace of mind. Nobody, after all, wants to relocate across town or country only to find the phone dead and lights out. Move your utilities online today with the Moving.com moving Utilities Center.

Key Takeaways:

  • Take along your local phone directories, in case you need to make contact again with your old neighborhood.
  • When you transfer utilities, disconnecting services in one location and resuming them in another, there are a few simple rules to follow. While gas, electric, phone and cable companies each have their own lead-time for disconnect/connect notification, a good rule of thumb is to contact their customer service departments at least two weeks prior to the move.
  • On your day of departure, be sure to keep those lights burning, the heat going and the phone working until you’ve waved the movers goodbye and locked the front door. Arrange to have those same utility services up and running at your new residence at least a day before you move in.
