How do I know which option is best for me, Start Service or Transfer?

If you are moving to a new location within our service area, you can transfer your current service or start a new service depending on your situation.  

You can complete all requests online quickly and easily. Requests made on sce.com can be future-dated and edited online. No need to call—just follow the steps for your situation.

• Start Service: Select this if you’re beginning service at a new address, changing the account holder, or adding a second address. Example: You’re moving into a new home, or your roommate wants to put the account in their name.
• Transfer Service: Select this if you’re moving within the SCE’s service territory and your current account remains active at the new address, while the old address is deactivated. Example: You’re relocating from one apartment to another.
