If there is damage to your electrical equipment or property

If you believe we are responsible for damage to your equipment or property, here’s what to do:

  1. Reach out to your insurance company, agent or broker before submitting a claim to us. They can confirm if your policy covers the damage.
  2. Understand that we are not legally responsible for damage caused by:
    • an act of nature beyond our control (for example, storms, flooding, or wildfire)
    • wildlife contact with our electrical system
    • failure of your electrical equipment due to outages or fluctuations of our electrical system
    • removing or trimming trees
    • a vehicle collision that damages or interrupts our infrastructure
    • failure on your part to provide adequate protection for your electrical or natural gas equipment
    • negligence on your part
    • actions of a third-party or independent contractor
