SCE questions, answered

Is SCE my utility provider?

Only your address can answer that for SCE. Territories are drawn parcel by parcel, not by city. Our sampling verified SCE serving addresses in Long Beach, CA; Irvine, CA; Santa Ana, CA. Enter your address in the lookup above to see whether SCE serves your home and who covers your other utilities.

Does SCE require a deposit to start service?

Sometimes. SCE may ask a new residential account for a deposit, decided when the account is opened. Anything owed typically lands on an early bill rather than at signup, so budget for it instead of counting on a waiver.

How do I set up service with SCE for a move?

Confirm SCE serves the exact address first, then open an account in their customer portal with your move-in date, ID, and lease or closing paperwork ready. Give it a few business days before the move. Utility Wallet can also submit it for you at no charge.

Does SCE serve your address?

SCE's edges are drawn parcel by parcel. One lookup settles it.
