How to Transfer Gas Connection from One Agency to Another?
For those who have moved house, one of the most important things to do is to change your address and make sure all your possessions have safely made the trip to your new home.
While making sure all your possessions have been safely packed and delivered, making sure your utilities are all connected or transferred is equally, if not more important. All of us remember the difficulty with which we registered for a new LPG connection, and none of us would want to go through that hassle again.
