How to Move Utilities after Buying a Home for Sale Near Fort Sam Houston

With all the things going on during your PCS move to Fort Sam Houston, moving utilities may be the last thing on your mind but this is a very important item that, when overlooked, can cause major inconveniences once you have settled into your new home.

The best thing to do is to make sure you have made the necessary provisions for your utilities in advance. Call each utility company at least 2 weeks prior to moving to your Fort Sam Houston off post housing. This will give you enough time to make arrangements for final readings and estimate your final utility bills. Make sure to get a bill or report reflecting the final readings.

You may have forgotten the big deposits you had to pay for utilities if you have been living in your previous home for some time now. Make sure to determine how much and when to expect your deposits back from each company. Verify with these companies the method of return. You wouldn’t want the money to be deposited to an account that you no longer use or forwarded to an address you no longer live in.

To get the utilities in order upon your arrival at your new Fort Sam Houston off post housing, the key is to communicate with the utility companies at least a month prior to your PCS move to Fort Sam Houston so you will be aware of the requirements they need from you. Some companies may require deposits before starting your services. Anticipate some delays when moving utilities.

If you have done all the necessary preparations, communicated with the utility companies, and updated all your information, your utilities will be ready upon move in.

In case there are any changes with the moving date from your old home, make sure to contact your utility providers and inform them as soon as possible to avoid any inconvenience upon moving in to your Fort Sam Houston off post housing.

You are right, Melissa, moving the utilities to a new home can cause a great hassle so it's really important to prepare for it in the pre-moving process.
