The Hidden Pitfalls of DIY Utility Transfers: Avoid Surprises and Unexpected Costs
Many underestimate the complexity of a utility bill name change, thinking they can manage everything themselves. But 'do-it-yourself' in this area can hide real traps:
- Service Interruptions: An error in the procedure or a delay can leave you without electricity, gas, or water precisely when you need them most. The anxiety of chaos materializes.
- Hidden Costs and Arrears: Without a thorough analysis, you might find yourself paying previous tenant's debts or incurring penalties for incomplete procedures. The fear of hidden costs becomes a reality.
- Exhausting Bureaucracy: Hours on the phone with call centers, forms to fill out, documents to send and resend. The bureaucratic complexity can drain your time and energy.
- Wrong Choices: Without in-depth market knowledge, you might activate contracts with unfavorable rates, paying more than necessary for years.

Frequently Asked Questions about Utility Transfer or Connection
Q: What is the difference between utility transfer and connection?
A: Utility transfer (voltura) is done when the meter is active and you want to change the contract holder. Utility connection (subentro), on the other hand, is requested when the meter has been deactivated by the previous tenant and needs to be reactivated. Both procedures require the management of specific utility transfer documents.
Q: How long does a utility transfer or connection take?
A: Times can vary depending on the supplier and type of utility. Generally, for electricity and gas, a utility transfer takes 2-5 business days, while a utility connection can take 7-12 days. Water and internet may have different timelines. We will manage the monitoring for you.
Q: What documents are needed to request a utility transfer or connection?
A: Usually, the tax code and an identity document of the new contract holder, the POD code (for electricity) or PDR (for gas), the supply address, and, in some cases, proof of ownership or tenancy of the property are required. We will provide you with a detailed checklist.
Q: Can I choose a new supplier during the utility transfer or connection?
A: Yes, it is possible. During a utility transfer, you can keep the current supplier or change it. In the case of a utility connection, you will necessarily need to choose a supplier to reactivate the utility. We will assist you in choosing the most convenient option for your electricity, gas, and water contracts.
Q: Are there costs associated with utility transfer or connection?
A: Yes, there are fixed costs set by the Authority (ARERA) and administrative costs from the supplier. These costs are transparent and will be clearly communicated to you in the quote. There are no hidden costs with traslòchi.it.
