*Life-support equipment includes any medical device used to sustain life or relied upon for mobility (as determined by a licensed doctor). Equipment is for home-use only. Equipment used for therapy rather than for life support generally does not qualify for Medical Baseline. Notify PG&E of any full-time resident in your home on life-support equipment so we can place a special code on your account. We use this code to notify customers if service will be interrupted due to planned maintenance, repair, construction or rolling blackouts. We are unable, of course, to provide advance notice of unscheduled power interruptions due to events such as storms, accidents, vandalism or equipment failure.Contact Us
For general questions, please contact PG&E's Customer Service Center at 1-800-743-5000.
