Q. Is it necessary to be present when electricity is turned on?
A. In principle, it is not necessary. You can use it just by turning on the breaker. Online application is available 24 hours a day.
Q. How long does it take to get gas?
A. It takes about 30 minutes. We will check the ignition of the water heater, stove, and alarm together with the person in charge, and will also explain the price plan.
Q. Who do I contact for water supply?
A. This is the municipal water bureau or municipal water department. You can contact us online or by phone before moving in.
Q. Is it advantageous to choose a new electric power company?
A. The savings will be greater for households that use more electricity (more than 300kWh/month). Let's do a simulation on a comparison site.
Q. Can foreigners apply?
A. You can apply if you have a residence card. Credit card payment is the easiest way to pay, and many new power companies also have English support.
