Setting Up Utilities for A New House: How to Prepare Your Home
"Electricity: powers your lighting, appliances, heating and cooling systems Natural gas or propane: used for stoves, furnaces, and water heaters Water and sewer: typically managed by your city or local utility district Trash and recycling: may be arranged through your city or a private provider Internet, cable, or phone service: important for communication and entertainment Home security systems: contact your provider to transfer or reactivate service"
"Visit your city or county website to find information on water, sewer, and trash collection. Search online for electricity and gas providers. If you live in a deregulated market like parts of California or Texas, you can choose between companies. Compare plans and rates for internet and cable to find the best fit for your household needs. Ask your real estate agent for local recommendations since they often know which companies are most reliable in your area."
Identify all necessary services for a new home, including electricity, natural gas or propane, water and sewer, trash and recycling, internet/cable/phone, and home security. Research local providers by checking city or county websites for municipal services, searching online for electricity and gas options, comparing internet and cable plans, and asking a real estate agent for recommendations. Confirm whether current providers service the new address and consider provider choices in deregulated markets. Begin research early and schedule service activation to avoid delays and ensure utilities are active by move-in day.
