These are just a few of the SDG&E employees who regularly visit your neighborhood.

  • Meter Readers
  • Service Technicians

Unfortunately, because our employees are a trusted and common sight in many San Diego areas, criminals may sometimes pose as an SDG&E worker in order to enter your home.

Don’t open the door unless you’re sure!

Tips For Recognizing SDG&E Employees

Here are some tips to help you recognize SDG&E employees and help make your Home Sweet Home a Home Safe Home.

Does the person have identification?

Tip: Every SDG&E employee on company business is required to carry a photo ID badge.

Does the worker have on an SDG&E uniform with our company logo?

Tip: While most SDG&E workers wear uniforms, some do not. Always ask for identification before allowing someone into your home.

Have I or someone else in my home made an appointment for service from SDG&E?

Tip: Most of the time an SDG&E person visits in response to a service request. If no one in your household scheduled an appointment, call SDG&E at 1-800-411-SDGE (7343) before allowing the employee into your home.

Do SDG&E employees ever stop by without an appointment?

Tip: Yes. But whether they are a meter reader, collector, inspector or gas service technician our employees always carry identification.

If You're Still Not Sure

Don’t open the door! Call SDG&E first.
