Moving house?

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to connect your electricity, gas and Internet when moving house.

Moving house can be a stressful time and making sure that all the essential utilities are ready when you move can sometimes be overlooked. We've put this guide together to help simplify your moving process.

Moving house checklist

Number 1

Give your old provider notice

Let your current provider know as soon as possible when you're moving. If you're switching providers, settle any outstanding accounts.

Number 2

Compare and sign up to a plan

Moving house can be a good time to switch to a better power deal. Let your provider know the date you're moving so you'll have power when you arrive.

Number 3

Do your meter readings

Get a meter reading from your existing house when you leave and at the new address when you arrive. This way you won't be charged for power you haven't used.

Number 4

Ensure your old plan is cancelled or transferred

Double-check that you're no longer paying for energy that you aren't using.
