Moving to New York City: set up in this order

Before you haul boxes up that walk-up, run this checklist, and know that many NYC buildings fold heat and hot water into the rent, shortening your setup list.

  1. Lock in electricity (retail plan). Do this before move-in; Con Edison energizes after the plan is set. Watch edges since your gas could be National Grid or Con Edison depending on the block.
  2. New York City water/sewer/trash accounts. Keep the New York City address handy. Mailing city alone can misroute water.
  3. Set a date for internet tech visit. Popular New York City move-in weeks fill up fast.

New York City utility questions, answered

Who is my electricity provider in New York City?

Con Edison delivers electricity to every address we sampled across the five boroughs. New York runs a choice market, so you can technically sign up with a separate retail supplier, an ESCO, for the supply portion, but since 2019 those residential offers have been sharply limited. Most New Yorkers simply take Con Edison's standard service. Enter your address in the lookup to confirm what applies to your building.

Do I get to choose my gas company?

Not exactly. Your gas provider is set by where you live, not by shopping: across sampled New York City addresses, National Grid serves about two in three and Con Edison the rest. You don't pick between them. The network already covering your building determines it. If you're not sure which one you'll be dealing with, run your address through the lookup before you schedule a move-in.

Who handles water in New York City?

Water comes from the city's municipal system at every address we sampled. One system for the whole city, fed largely by gravity from reservoirs upstate. Sewer service runs through that same New York City system at most sampled addresses. There's no water company to shop or sign up with the way you might elsewhere; it's tied to the city. Use the lookup to confirm what applies at your specific address.

Who is the electric company in New York City?

Retail choice applies in New York City: Con Edison is the fixed wires company; the plan provider is yours to pick. The wires company (Con Edison) is fixed. Shop the plan on top.
