Unless you know you’re going to be back in your home within a few days, cancel all of your utilities. There are a lot of reasons for doing this, but the one we’re most concerned about is you don’t want to be charged for using something you aren’t using, i.e. you don’t want to be charged for electricity at your home when Harvey struck, and also being charged for electricity at a new, though temporary, residence.

 

Note: Most utility companies will try to transfer services to your new residence but, until you know for sure where you will be living for the next while, you’ll have more flexibility to negotiate a lower rate if your current service is not transferred.
