Can anyone give me a list of who to call for cable, internet, E-, H2O, lawn service and the like? Would like to arrange appointments for the time we we be there. Thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to TV! Below, I've copied and pasted part of a very informative posting from one of our own on TOTV, zcaveman. It is from Nuts and Bolts of The Villages. It is found on the main title page of this forum near the bottom under "Talk of the Villages Information and News."
From Part 3 of Nuts and Bolts:
Electric and Gas
When you move to Florida, they are going to want a deposit. You can call your local gas and electric companies and get a form that says that you were a good payer for the past year. You can get a form from your new companies (TECO/SECO) and attach that form and send it in and get your deposit back right away.
Electric SECO 1-866-605-6383 (Marion, Sumter and parts of Lake County)
Gas TECO 1-877-832-6747
Telephone, Cable, Satellite, Internet Service
Find out who your telephone carrier is in The Villages so that you can order your telephone prior to actually moving down. That way you can set up an appointment with them to have the telephone installed when you get here. We did not order until we were here and it took about a week to get the telephone installed. I was not a cell phone user at that time so it was difficult
Telephone – Embarq 1-866-304-6820
Cable – Comcast 352-687-2758
