1. There is a cost involved, in our case it was a couple of hundred dollars to abolish both services (I can't remember exact amount)

2. When you call up your electrical/gas retailer for the forms, don't expect them to send it to you straight away. It took red energy a week to EMAIL me the forms.

3. Gas was abolished in the requested date and electricity was about 1-2 weeks after the requested date. (I know but believe me that is a good result)
