Advice Needed..Closing on out of state sfh on Friday

Hey guys! Just a bit of advice please.... I'm closing on an out of state sfh on Friday (first out of state purchase). I'm flying in to do the final walkthrough in person Friday morning and closing Friday afternoon. This will be my first time seeing the home in person. It was completely remodeled 4 months ago. I'm working with a wholesaler who's been pretty helpful (my first time using one). All utilities are turned off. Should I insist that the sellers turn them on so I can do a final test of the plumbing, central air, electricity, etc? Sellers are an older couple. Or should I just try to get them turned on in my name to do the walkthrough? All of my other purchases have been tenant occupied at closing so the final walkthroughs were a breeze. And even with my primary residence purchases, all utilities were on a closing. So this is new territory for me. Any advice would be helpful!
