You will have a number of people knocking at your door for various reasons.
Don't let any of them give you their spiel, including a woman that says she is from a Welcome Wagon.
They are all hustlers.

If you find you want a water softener, hold off and see if you really need one.

We have an Eco System -- probably the best, most efficient (but expensive) one you can buy.
We brought it with us from our old house.
We have found we don't need it. and have never installed it.

We are used to the taste of the water.
We use Finish and liquid Jet Dry in our Dishwasher and our dishes and silverware sparkle.

We also do not have a pest control service and never had a bug problem.
I don't call one or two bugs here or there, a problem.
You will find that just about everyone will tell you that you must spray and that you need this service.

My advice would be to move in, get comfortable and play the wait and see game.
I'm sure you will find that you don't need half the services everyone tells you you need.

Go luck with your move!
