Moving Your Utilities to Your New Fort Sam Houston Off Post Housing

Moving can be stressful, especially if it’s a PCS move. You may be thinking of a hundred things before moving to your new Fort Sam Houston off post housing and moving utilities may be the last thing on your mind.

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.

If there will be any changes with the departure date from your former home, contact your utility companies and update them on the new date  immediately to avoid the inconvenience of having no utilities upon moving into your new Fort Sam Houston off post housing.
