🔌 Step-by-Step Utility Setup
1

Confirm on-base vs. off-base housing

On-base privatized housing typically bundles utilities in your BAH payment. Confirm with the housing office before setting up accounts — you may not need to.

2

Set up electricity 2 weeks before arrival

Call PNM Resources at (888) 342-5766. Request service start 1–2 days before your move-in date. You'll need your new address and may need to pay a deposit (show military ID to reduce or waive).

3

Set up natural gas (if applicable)

Contact New Mexico Gas Company at (888) 664-2726. Gas is often needed for heating, water heating, and ranges. Set up on the same call as electricity.

4

Set up water/sewer through the city

Managed by city/county. Call the Clovis city hall or your property manager. Many require a deposit; military ID can help waive or reduce it.

5

Order internet 2–3 weeks in advance

Internet installation slots book fast. Order 2–3 weeks ahead. Ask for military discount and confirm the installation date. Consider Starlink as a backup if local providers are delayed.

6

Update all utility addresses for BAH records

Ensure your utilities match your address in DEERS/myPay. Mismatches can affect BAH calculations.
