Utility Connection and Transfer Assistance*
Getting electricity, water, gas and internet sorted can take longer than the move itself. Flourrish coordinates utility connections, name transfers and closures for tenants and owners in Chennai, so essential services are in place when you need them.
- Available across Chennai
- Can be arranged remotely
About this service
For incoming tenants, we help arrange internet and DTH connections with the providers you choose, coordinate cooking gas connection or transfer with your distributor and confirm that the electricity and water accounts are active. Where an owner prefers a utility account to be moved into the tenant's name, we explain the documents the relevant authority or provider typically asks for and help prepare and submit the application.
For owners, we coordinate name changes after a purchase or inheritance, reconnections for properties that have been vacant and the paperwork involved in updating details with the electricity distribution company, metro water authority or civic body. We follow up with offices and service providers on your behalf, which saves time when you are not in Chennai. At move-out, we record final meter readings, help arrange closures or transfers of internet and gas connections and confirm that bills are settled. Timelines depend on the providers and authorities, so we keep you updated rather than promise dates.
* Additional charges may apply depending on the scope of work, property size, service requirements and third-party/vendor costs. Applicable charges will be communicated before the service is initiated.

Frequently asked questions
Can the electricity connection be transferred to the tenant's name?
This depends on the owner's preference and the distribution company's procedures. Many owners keep the connection in their name; we can explain the options and help with the application if a transfer is chosen.
How long does a new internet connection take?
It varies by provider and building. We coordinate the installation and follow up, but we cannot confirm a fixed timeline on the provider's behalf.
Do you pay the utility bills?
This service covers connections, transfers and closures. Ongoing bill payment coordination is available through our utility bill coordination service.
