Find out who is your energy supplier and start the comparison for the best offer to activate

Normally, your new home will already have an energy supplier, however, in Italy, you can switch it at any moment. 

The first step is finding out who currently supplies gas and electricity to your home. This information is useful to get the best tariff on the market.

You should also check who will be your local energy distributor, who is in charge of technical emergencies. You cannot change your distributor but it’s still important to know who to contact in case of a service issue. Normally numbers of distributors are also available on your bills.

Getting your home connected: meters activations and switches

Be ready on time!

Remember that to change, switch, or activate utilities takes time! Make sure to do it in advance! If you have to switch offer (meter already there) it takes 30 days. If you have to activate your energy or gas supply, it takes between 5 to 10 working days. If you have to install meters, it takes between 15 to 60 working days, according to the complexity of the work.
