Service Guarantee Program

Southern California Edison Logo
On November 8, 2004, Southern California Edison (SCE) launched a four-point Service Guarantee Program. Below is the list of services that will be part of this program. 
 
If we fail to meet a service, we will automatically credit your bill $30, within 60 days.  Terms and conditions apply.
 
  1. No Missed Appointments
    When your presence is required and SCE has scheduled an appointment with you for a specific time, SCE guarantees arrival within 30 minutes of the agreed-upon field service appointment time.

    This guarantee does not apply when:
    • There is a Category 1, 2, or 3 storm condition.
    • There is a declared emergency event.
    • There is a need for the field service to respond to an intermediate response event, such as a downed power pole or wire.
    • Access to your premises is not available or you are not ready for service.
    • Your premises is deemed unsafe. 
     
  2. 24-Hour Service Restoration
    SCE guarantees that your electrical service will be restored within 24 hours of a power outage. 

    This guarantee does not apply when:
    • There is a Category 1, 2, or 3 storm condition.

    • Your premises is deemed unsafe.
     
  3. Notification of Planned Outages
    SCE guarantees to notify you of a planned outage at least three (3) calendar days prior to the event.  Notification may be made by mail, phone, door-to-door, in person, or by e-mail.

    This guarantee does not apply when:
    • The contact information you provided is incorrect, or we were not notified by you of a change to update your records.
    • Notification was made to the customer of record and the customer failed to notify his/her tenants or occupants.
    • According to SCE’s records, the US Postal Service failed to deliver the notification in a timely manner.
    • The affected service location is vacant.
    • An emergent outage is required, such as public or employee safety hazards, overload conditions, or equipment failures, etc.
    • There is a Category 1, 2, or 3 storm condition.
    • There is a declared emergency event.

  4. Timely and Accurate First Bill
    SCE will issue an accurate first bill to you within 60 days of establishing service.

    This guarantee does not apply when:
    • You are attempting to re-establish service following a disconnection for non-payment.
    • Access to the meter or your premises is not available on the date requested.
    • A retroactive bill is necessary because you did not request service in a timely fashion after occupying a new residence.
    • According to SCE’s records, there is a case of mail theft, or the US Postal Service fails to deliver the first bill in a timely manner.
