Moving day is exciting – a time to fill a new space and make it your own. But with all the chaos of moving, it’s hard to keep track of all the details. Getting utilities set up, mail forwarded and garbage services started are all important steps to getting settled into your new home.
Utilities can be set up before you move – simply call the company, let them know when you’ll be taking ownership (the closing date) and they will have service put into your name.
