Please use this information when seeking the return of your deposit:

Good Payment History

Your deposit, plus interest, is automatically applied as a credit to your account after your account has been paid for 12 months consecutively without becoming past due.  If your payment is late on any one bill, the 12-month timeline starts over again. Unfortunately, deposits will not be applied as payment for past due bills to avoid discontinuance of service. Credits on active accounts may be refunded upon the customer's request.

Termination of Service

Upon termination of service, the deposit plus interest is automatically applied as a credit on your account. SoCalGas will subtract any outstanding bills from the credit.  If another account is opened, we will transfer the credit to the new account.

These are the conditions that prevent you from receiving a check in the mail:

1. When applying the deposit does not result in a credit balance (e.g. outstanding bills)
2. When a deposit is transferred to another account and there is no credit balance
3. When a credit balance is generated because of a pledge payment

Requesting Your Deposit

To request the return of your deposit or if you have any questions about deposits or a credit on your account, please contact us. 

To request the return of your deposit or if you have any questions about deposits or a credit on your account, please contact us. 

On active accounts: If you have a credit balance due to overpayment and your account is active, no action is required. Your credit will automatically apply to your following month's bill.

On a closing bill: If you do not have a new account with us, a reimbursement check will automatically be mailed out to your new address. Please be sure your new address is on file.

On a transfer: If you are closing one account and have a new SoCalGas account, the credit will be transferred to your new account.

Even though a distinctive odor is added to natural gas to assist in the detection of leaks, you should not rely on just your nose to alert you to the presence of natural gas. There are a number of reasons why your sense of smell may not always let you know that gas is leaking or has been released.[1]  And, certain conditions in pipe and soil may cause odor fade - the loss of odorant so that it is not detectable by smell.

Odor fade (loss of odorant) refers to the phenomenon in which physical and/or chemical processes cause the loss of odorant in natural gas so that its distinctive odor may no longer be detectable by smell.

Learn more about odor fade.

[1] COVID-19 may cause a temporary loss of smell that could make it more difficult to detect the odorant that is added to natural gas to help make leaks easier to detect.
