The Joy of Transferring Utilities
Well, I just had to experience something the hard way and thought I might be able to save someone else from having to experience the same thing.
If you're purchasing a new home, you know that part of the process is calling all of the utility companies to make sure that service is transferred into your name the day that you and the seller have previously agreed upon.
Well...here's a little tip for you...if the property you're moving to has both electric and gas service, you're going to want to make sure that you call and establish the electric service first.  Here's why...the electric has to be on first, before the gas can be turned on.
(By the way, in Johnson County, your electric company will more than likely be either Johnson County REMC or Duke Energy.  The gas company is probably to be Vectren).
So...we already know that waiting on hold forever and a day to talk to the utility companies is a pain in the neck in the first place...don't make it worse by having to call the gas company twice (once to set it up and once again because you didn't call the electric company first).
Hope that helps and ... more
