New to Nashville? Essential Home Services to Set Up First

According to recent statistics, the Nashville metro is growing by nearly 70 new residents every day. Here are your new resident home services to-do’s!

Whether you’re unpacking your final moving box, or your just about to roll into the Nashville area, welcome home! It’s great here – but maybe you already know that. Perhaps you’re here for work, or maybe you just need a dose of Southern charm. You’ll soon learn that life in Middle Tennessee offers a mix of warm hospitality, scenic beauty, and honestly a few seasonal challenges. Before you get too busy exploring Broadway and the local food scene, it’s smart to line up some much-needed home services that will make your new space safer, more comfortable, and ready for all seasons.

Here's your new homeowner to-do list for settling into the Nashville area.

Set Up Those Utilities – We Know You Know.

We’ll start with the essentials – utilities. Electricity, water, and internet are prerequisites to your move-in. Nashville’s growth means more providers than ever, but Middle Tennessee Electric, Nashville Electric, Piedmont Natural Gas, and Metro Water Services are the most common for local homeowners. For internet, consider your local fiber options and major carriers, like AT&T and Xfinity. Set up early to avoid service delays during your first few busy days (or weeks)!

HVAC Maintenance – Just Do It!

Tennessee weather can shift from hot, humid summer to chilly winter fast! Before your first heat wave or cold snap, it’s better to be prepared. We recommend a local HVAC inspection – even if your home’s system is only a couple of years old, if you don’t have verified maintenance records in-hand, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Regular maintenance is a real ounce of prevention scenario when it comes to keeping comfortable inside your home. Ask your provider about annual service plans that match the potential stress that can be put on your HVAC system with harsh hot or cold weather.

Lawn and Landscape Care

One huge bonus of living in the Nashville area is the beauty of outdoor spaces. A cozy patch of green can make your home feel much more like – well, a home. If you’ve come from a different region of the United States, you will want to learn about local flora and how to keep your lawn and landscape healthy and beautiful. A well-maintained yard not only looks great but can also help you plan for creating a space that is less inviting to outdoor pests. Perhaps by installing plants that do not attract pests or eliminating potential problem areas that would attract them.

And if you are fortunate enough to have an irrigation system to keep your landscape and lawn beautiful, schedule maintenance to eliminate the potential for standing water that become mosquito breeding grounds!
