You can always verify your account information (including account numbers and balances) by logging into your account at dominionenergy.com or through the Dominion Energy app. You can also call into our automated phone system. There is no need to hold for an agent to check payment history, a balance or an account number.

In-Person

Dominion Energy personnel may need to visit your residence or place of business from time to time. These workers will ALWAYS carry identification with their picture and Dominion Energy branding. They travel in white vehicles with a Dominion Energy logo on the side.
Dominion Energy NEVER takes in-person payments. Payments can be made through our automated phone system, online at dominionenergy.com, by mail, or at an authorized payment center:

Over the Phone

Scammers can “spoof” a phone number and make it appear that a call is coming from someone else. If you receive a call that you believe is suspicious, don’t give the caller any personal information. Hang up and call back at one of the numbers below. You can validate account information such as a balance 24/7 through our automated phone system or online at dominionenergy.com
Dominion Employees do not take payments over the phone! If you are asked by someone over the phone for personal information such as a credit card or bank account number, hang up immediately. Over-the-phone payments are only made through our automated system. You can pay 24/7 by logging into your account online, through the Dominion Energy app, or at an authorized payment center:
Dominion Energy will never ask you to purchase a money order, prepaid debit or credit card or gift card.
Scammers will sometimes make payments to your account to verify information. Report any unrecognized payments.
If you need to reach out to Dominion Energy, make sure you are visiting the official Dominion Energy website (www.DominionEnergy.com) or calling the correct customer service number below. Scammers are setting up fake websites and customer service numbers to capture your personal information.
