Moving to Newark? Your setup checklist

  1. Confirm your Newark providers first. Before calling anyone, run your exact Newark address through the lookup — providers change at neighborhood boundaries.
  2. Pick your Newark electricity plan (1–3 days out). Compare at NJ BPU Shopping — around Newark, same-day starts are usually possible, just not worth gambling your move-in morning on.
  3. Set up Newark water and sewer with Newark Water Department. Allow a few business days; bring ID and your Newark lease or closing date — call (973) 733-6303.
  4. Gas check: does your Newark home use it? If yes, start with PSE&G ((800) 436-7734); all-electric Newark homes skip this one.
  5. Keep your confirmation numbers. Newark landlords and title companies often want proof that Newark utilities are in your name from day one.
