TLDR: Call about transferring utilities a couple of days before closing and once the major contingencies have been satisfied.
Shortly before closing, you'll want to call your service providers to cancel or transfer their services to your new residence, if applicable. It's wise to wait to coordinate with utility providers until the major contingencies are satisfied and you have a concrete close date that you can provide to the utility providers. This will avoid any wasted effort if the sale falls through.
