Utility transfer checklist
A checklist for moving electricity, gas, water, internet, trash and security service to your new address.
The checklist
Electricity
Schedule shutoff at old address, turn-on at new address for the day before move day.
Natural gas
Some providers require an in-person appointment to relight — book early.
Water & sewer
Often billed by the municipality; may need a final meter read.
Internet & TV
Check availability at the new address; self-install kits ship ~1 week out.
Trash & recycling
Confirm pickup day and whether bins are provided or resident-supplied.
Home security / alarm
Transfer or cancel monitoring; update the service address.
How it works
List your current utilities
Note each provider and your account number.
Schedule stop and start dates
Overlap them by a day, so the power and water are on when you arrive.
