Utilities and moving day in Kansas City
You transfer power, water, and gas. We need lights and a path. How utilities meet a Kansas City moving day — not a first-night box and not a change-of-address page.
First-night box is a tote you keep. Kitchen last is the truck order. New construction is a house with no water yet. This page is utilities: you transfer them. We need lights and a path. We will not call the power company. Two ZIP codes: Get my price. We will not write “licensed and insured.”
From [$XXX] an hour for two movers and a truck — two movers and a truck. Most local jobs $1,200–$1,500. A dark house with no heat in January will not sit in that band the same way. What changes the price. How we quote: two ZIP codes. Compare hours: how to compare hourly quotes. Damage: [TIM'S DAMAGE POLICY]. What I will honour: [WHAT TIM WILL HONOUR].
What you transfer. What we need.
- Power and water on at both ends if you can — lights and a working sink
- Gas off the old stove if the line comes with us — fridge prep, appliances
- We will not schedule Evergy, Water One, or Spire for you
- A dark walk-up is a slower carry — walk-ups
- Keys late plus no power is two problems — keys late
Change of address is not this page and not our job — that is next. Closing day: closing day. Landlord walkthrough: landlord walkthrough. Rental out: moving out of a rental. Morning-of: moving-day morning. What to tell us: what to tell us. Week before: what movers need the week before. Four weeks: four weeks.
Winter, heat, and a dead panel
Ice and no heat: winter moving day. August and no AC is still a carry — July and August. Rain: rain and ice. We will not invent a utility emergency fee. How long: how long a local move takes. If it runs long in the dark we will not guess a breaker — what we do if it runs long. A third is for weight, not for a meter — when you need a third, how we staff three.
Washer hookup where fittings match — washer and dryer, basement washers. A wine fridge still wants an outlet — wine fridge or kegerator. Server closet: you shut it down — server closet. We pad furniture — how we pad and wrap furniture. Floors: how we protect floors and rails, doorway and banister. A tip is not a utility deposit — tipping.

Frequently asked questions
Will you call the power company?
No. You transfer utilities. We need lights and a path.
The new place has no power yet.
Say so. That is slower and may wait on keys. See new construction and keys late.
Is this change of address?
No. Mail is the next page. This page is power, water, and gas.
Gas line on the stove.
Say so. Hookup where fittings match. A new line through a cabinet is not a moving-day add-on.
Winter, heat off at both ends.
Say so. See winter moving day. We still need a path we can see.
Transfer the meters. Leave us the lights.
Two ZIP codes and whether both ends have power. We will write a path we can see, not a utility appointment.
