California Edison Phone Number and Customer Service

Official California Edison Phone Number

The verified contact block above this article shows the official California Edison phone number. California Edison is commonly used to mean Southern California Edison, or SCE. Confirm that name before sharing account details.

Use the California Edison customer service number shown in that block rather than a number copied from an advertisement, forum, social media reply, or caller-ID display. Search results may mix general account support with outage, business, construction, or emergency contacts.

You can also open {site}, find the Help Center, and select Contact SCE. Compare the contact category there with the reason for your call. If the displayed information differs from something saved on your phone, use the current information on the official site.

Never give a password or sign-in verification code to an unexpected caller. If someone contacts you and asks for sensitive information, end the call and start a new call through the verified contact block.

How to Reach Customer Service

Call the verified California Edison customer service number and listen to the current menu. SCE does not document a permanent sequence of keypad choices, and prompts can change. Choose the category that most closely matches your issue, such as billing, starting or stopping service, account access, or another service request. Use the option to repeat the menu if the choices are unclear.

For online help, the official Help Center includes account topics and request forms. SCE also identifies its automated chat assistant as a support channel. In the MySCE mobile app, open Settings, choose Resources, and then choose Contact SCE to see contacts organized by subject.

Before contacting support, have these items ready:

• The customer account number from a recent bill, if available.
• The account holder’s name and the service location.
• A short description of the problem and any error message.
• Relevant bill, payment, outage, or service-request details.
• An identity document if the requested service requires verification.

Do not send passwords or one-time security codes through chat or social media.

Customer Service Hours

Use the verified contact block above for the current operating hours and time zone. Do not rely on hours copied from an old bill, directory, or third-party page. General customer service schedules may exclude holidays, and specialized departments may follow different schedules.

Before calling near a holiday, check the Contact SCE area on the official site for an exception or closure notice. If representatives are unavailable, use My Account or the Help Center for tasks that can be completed online. For a loss of power or an electrical hazard, use the separate outage or emergency procedure below instead of waiting for general account support.

Sign In Before Contacting Support

Open {site} and select Log In or My Account. Check that you reached SCE’s official sign-in screen before entering any credentials. Avoid sign-in links sent in unexpected texts, emails, or advertisements.

After signing in, review the account number, current notices, recent activity, and service requests connected with the problem. Then open the Help Center or Contact SCE area. Starting from the account can help you identify the correct topic and collect the details support may request.

If the account information looks unfamiliar, stop and contact SCE through a verified channel. Do not change unrelated settings while trying to solve one issue.

Recover Account Access

On the official sign-in screen, select the recovery link for a forgotten username or password. Choose the username option if you cannot remember the sign-in name. Choose the password option if you know the username but cannot sign in. Follow the verification instructions shown on the screen and use only a code you requested yourself.

After a password reset, return to the official sign-in screen and enter the new password carefully. If the page still does not work, SCE recommends clearing the browser’s cookies and cache, closing every browser window, and trying again in a fresh window. An outdated bookmark can also cause trouble, so begin again from the official site marker on this page.

SCE does not publish a separate self-service unlocking procedure. If the account remains locked, the recovery message does not arrive, or you no longer control the recovery contact, use verified customer support. Be ready to confirm that you are authorized on the account. Never ask another person to receive a verification code for you.

Report an Outage or Emergency

Outages and electrical emergencies do not use the same route as ordinary billing or account questions. Use SCE’s Outage Center to report a home or business outage, check known outage information, or report a streetlight problem. The verified contact block may also show a dedicated outage contact.

If only part of the property has lost power, check whether a breaker or fuse is responsible if it is safe to do so. If nearby properties are also dark, include that detail in the outage report.

Treat a fallen or damaged power line as an emergency. Stay well away, keep other people and animals back, and contact emergency services. Then follow SCE’s official electrical-emergency instructions. Do not touch the line or anything it may be contacting.

Use general California Edison customer service for account, billing, and routine service matters. Use the outage channel for loss of power, and emergency services for an immediate danger. Choosing the correct route avoids sending an urgent report into a general support queue.
