| TRANSFER OF UTILITIES INFORMATION GENERAL: Utility companies require buyer & seller (not real estate agent) to initiate utility transfers. Note that electricity and water should be transferred not cut off by buyer and seller at closing. Transfers should be made effective the day of closing or as soon thereafter as practical. The telephone company generally requires a cut off of the existing phone before a new phone can be connected. Cable company requirements seem to vary from time to time and person to person. Therefore, no general rule is provided here relative to cable transfer. DOMINION NORTH CAROLINA POWER (888) 667-3000 The electric company requires considerable personal information and some preliminary credit information before they will process your application for service. A letter of credit from your present utility company or a check in the amount of $50.00 will be required initially to eliminate a delay in connection or transfer.

CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS (800) 972-5757 The cable company requires one month’s advance payment prior to connection. This amount varies with the channels you elect to receive.
