How to Set Up New Electricity Service

If you're planning a move, you can set up your new electricity service before you arrive. It won't take long if you follow these simple instructions.

Instructions

1. Find out who provides electricity service in your new area. If you're not sure, ask your landlord or realtor.

2. Call the company and provide your new address as well as your move-in date. They will verify that they can provide the service.

3. Consider setting up automatic bill pay while you're on the call. This will save you from having to think about sending checks to your electric company.

4. Provide a cell phone number to the company so they can call you with any questions during the move.
