In the future, you should refer issues about utilities to your building manager/owner. As far as I'm concerned, I cannot make decisions about utilities in my building because I don't own the building. (Actually, where I live, we don't have a choice in two provides electricity or gas - it's just one local utility company - it's not like cable TV or an internet provider where it's up to the tenant to chose, if they even want it at all).

My local energy utility gives it's employees official badges with their photos printed on them. This is because a while ago two guys were going around pretending to be from the utility and asking to look at people's furnaces and whatnot. One could pretend to make notes while the other would case the home and they'd come back later and rob it if it looked like it was a good target. The utility said "Okay, all of our people will have special photo ID now." At my old job, we did some contract work for them, so us contractors all had the official IDs, too. (In fact, that started because my former co-worker was denied access to a property because he couldn't prove he was a contract for the utility, which is certainly fair!) Not everyone does special badges, but asking for some kind of ID/proof is completely within your rights, especially if this is unannounced.
