How It Works
Utility deposits are often overlooked in moving budgets. Most electric and gas companies require $100-300 deposits for new customers, refundable after 12-24 months of on-time payments. Schedule utility transfers 2-3 weeks before your move to ensure service on day one. Some providers waive deposits if you have good credit or a letter of credit from your previous provider.
