In-Home Services - Utilities

It is critical to activate or terminate your home utilities when you move. Home utilities include: natural gas, electric, cable TV or satellite TV, Internet service and phone service. All of these items, plus your change of address and newspaper can be managed through convenient online resources such as WhiteFence.com.

Just like any other service or product you buy, most utilities are de-regulated and as such companies must compete to win your business. So shop your utility services at various places before making a commitment. Generally, an annual service agreement is required to provide the best rate.
