Start, stop & move
General, independent guidance on the usual steps to start, stop, or transfer electricity and natural gas service. You make the requests with your utility; we help you prepare.
Three common scenarios
Every utility sets its own rules, forms, and timelines. The outlines below are general and may differ from your provider’s process.
Moving into a new place usually means contacting the utility that serves that address, confirming the start date, and sometimes providing identification or a deposit.
When you leave, you generally request a stop date, provide a forwarding address for the final bill, and note the last meter reading if you can.
If the same utility serves both addresses, many allow a single transfer request. Overlapping service for a day or two is common while you move.
A checklist, not a form
Service requests belong with your utility, so this site has no start, stop, or move forms. If you would like help preparing, tell us about the move on the contact page and we will put together a plain checklist with you.
