AI summary
When buying a home, plan your utility setup at least a month before moving. Check if your current electricity, gas, and internet providers can service your new address.
If switching is necessary, compare new options using independent services like Powerswitch and ask neighbours for recommendations. Have your personal details ready to streamline the process and schedule installation at least two weeks before your move-in date. Be patient, as services may take a few days to stabilise after connection.
