Bringing the Lights Back On.
Foreclosed homes often have their meters pulled out (disconnected) due to unpaid bills by the previous owner. As the new owner, you are NOT liable for their old bill (usually).
The “BFAD” Process
You apply for a Reconnection or New Service. You will need:
- Deed of Sale (Proof of ownership).
- Electrical Permit (from City Hall – verify wiring is safe).
- Certificate of Final Electrical Inspection (CFEI).
It takes effort, but a fresh meter means a fresh start.
