The Resident Portal Is Your Friend
On Monday of this week, due to Southern California Edison alerts and pent-up in-home service demand, the Department of Resident Services received approximately 1,500 resident phone calls. Typical call volume of 800 to 1,000 calls per day is manageable; however, when the department lands in the midst of a perfect storm and the phones start ringing off the hook, residents will experience unavoidable wait times.
Peak call hours for the Resident Services call center are from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday. If you can’t reach a customer service representative, try again during off-peak hours from 1 to 4 p.m. Also, consider calling during mid-week versus on Monday morning, when call volume is the highest.
