Setting Up PG&E

If you are living in Northern or Central California, PG&E (Pacific Gas and Electric) will likely be your utility provider.

How to Setup

1. Online: Visit the PG&E website and select "Start Service."
2. Details: You'll need your new address and the date you want the service to begin (usually your move-in date).
3. Identification: You might be asked for an SSN. If you don't have one yet, you may need to call their customer service and provide alternative ID or pay a deposit.

Pro-tip: Check if your apartment manager handles the setup for you. Some "all-inclusive" utilities might exist, but usually, PG&E is separate.
