Local Utilities – What You Need to Know

When buying or selling a home in Eastern North Carolina, managing your local utilities is a crucial step to ensure a smooth transition. To avoid disruptions, make sure to schedule your utility connections or disconnections at least 2–3 days before your closing date.
​
For Buyers: Arrange for your utilities to be activated on the day of closing so your new home in Pitt County, whether in Greenville, Winterville, Ayden, or Grimesland, is ready from day one.
For Sellers: Plan to have your utilities turned off shortly after the closing date to avoid paying for services you no longer need.
Below is a helpful list of common utility providers in Eastern NC. Use this list to contact each company directly and coordinate your utility transfers with ease.

If you have any questions or need assistance with utility coordination during your home sale or purchase, don’t hesitate to reach out — I’m here to help make your move in Eastern North Carolina as smooth as possible!
