When do I set up my electricity?

After your application is approved, and you do your happy dance, simply call the electric company of your choice and set up electric service for your apartment.
Some electric companies may not allow electric service to be scheduled more than 30 days in advance. So, if you’re looking to move in more than 30 days after you’re approved, mark your calendar to call the electric company a few weeks before you’re scheduled to move. You will need to supply your electricity account number to the office before you move in.
