Moving to a new home can be exciting, but it also comes with a long to-do list. One of the most important yet often overlooked tasks is managing your utilities. Whether you’re staying in the same city or moving across Alberta, managing your electricity and natural gas accounts ahead of time ensures a smooth transition. With Peace Power, switching your utilities is quick, simple, and entirely online. There’s no technician visit or interruption in service, just an easier way to move.
Step 1: Notify Your Current Utility Provider
Before you move, contact your current provider to notify them of the account closure date. Most utility companies in Alberta require at least ten business days’ notice to ensure the distribution companies are allowed adequate time to de-enroll your meter on their end. If you’re already a Peace Power customer, we can easily update your service address for you, ensuring your electricity and natural gas continue uninterrupted.
Step 2: Choose Your New Utility Provider Early
If you’re moving to a new city or community, now is the perfect time to review your options. Alberta’s deregulated energy market means you can choose the utility company that best fits your needs. With Peace Power, switching providers takes just a few minutes online. There are no site visits, no disconnections, and no hidden fees. You can sign up for electricity, natural gas, and even internet services and more, all in one place.
Step 3: Schedule Your Utility Transfer Ahead of Move-In Day
Once you’ve chosen your provider, set up your account at least one week before your move-in date. This ensures your power and heat are active when you arrive at your new home. Since switching to Peace Power is handled entirely behind the scenes, there’s nothing you need to install or connect. Your energy will flow through the same reliable infrastructure, only it will be billed by a different, local company that puts you first.
Step 4: Take Final Meter Readings and Confirm Details
Before leaving your old home, record your final electricity and gas meter readings. Snap a photo for your records to ensure you’re only charged for the energy you actually used. Once you’ve moved into your new home, double-check your first bill to confirm your new service dates and account information. Peace Power’s online customer portal makes it easy to review your bills, track your energy usage, and manage your account at any time.
