Homes and wiring in Denver

Heat pumps and EV chargers are pushing many older homes past their original 100 amp service. Basement finishes, which are common in Denver, also add circuits that need AFCI and GFCI protection.

Weather, seasons and the utility

Denver weather changes fast. Spring and summer bring hail, lightning and strong wind, and the Front Range is one of the more hail-prone parts of the country, so service masts, meters and outdoor equipment can take damage. Winters bring cold snaps and heavy snow, and the dry climate makes static and surge damage to electronics more noticeable. Xcel Energy serves most of the metro and handles meter work, service upgrades and solar interconnection. Altitude and sun exposure make rooftop solar common, and solar added to an older 100 amp panel often triggers a panel upgrade or other interconnection changes.
