How do I find out what company supplies gas & electricity to a property?

Question

I'm moving home and the seller can't tell me who supplies gas and electricity. It's getting cold and I don't know who to call to get the gas turned on. Can you help?

Answer 1

Ask the neighbors

Answer 2

You can find your Gas supplier by ringing the Transco Helpline 0870 608 1524.

i did this morning mate

for gods sake don't ring 0800 111 999 as that stupid cow said its for emergencies,god some of the people on here are lethal

Answer 3

The seller of your new home should let the supplier know
when he dose not want to be supplied thus getting a
final bill and it`s seems quite odd that he docent know them
as he would have paid the usage bill before hand.
The only other way to do it is go or a new supplier and if
they say they cant they will tell you why and who is the supplier
to your new property.

Answer 4

Call National Grid. I had the same problem. Their number for gas is 0845 605 6677 and for electricity 01926 65 3000. if thats not any use try Transco on 0800 111 999 for your gas

Answer 5

Look in the phone book under Utilities, Natural Gas, Electricity, etc. for a list of companies that handle that in your area.
Call them to determine if your address is in their area of service.
If that's too much work, then you can ask one of the neighbors who they use.
In the end, you'll get your utilities turned on and meet the neighbors!

Answer 6

The realtor might know, or the city itself--could be like here--monopoly and you have to take what's available, whether you like their service and prices or not...careful

Answer 7

The phone book usually has that kind of info up front.

Answer 8

Call city hall, chamber of commerce etc.
