Moving out of Boone? Don’t forget to disconnect service

May 5, 2026

A woman and man stand in a house with boxes packed, holding a box and a bin, smiling at each other.

Moving out can be stressful. A little planning can help avoid issues down the road.

As the summer move-out season begins, New River Light and Power reminds customers to schedule their electric service disconnection before leaving the area. 

If you’ve already moved out, you can still submit a request. Electric service remains active — and charges continue  — until a disconnect request is submitted by the account holder and is processed by the NRLP team.

Plan ahead before you leave

Taking a few minutes now can help you avoid unnecessary charges later.

As you move out

A quick final check can make a difference:

  • Turn off lights and appliances

  • Remove all personal belongings
  • Empty trash and clean out the refrigerator
  • Check closets, cabinets, thermostat and storage spaces

After you leave

Even if you’ve already moved, it’s not too late to get your paperwork in:

  • Submit your disconnect request 

  • Monitor your account for your final bill
  • Ensure your contact information is up to date so our team can reach you with questions or concerns
