Unfortunately, living up in the mountains while beautiful has it’s occasional drawbacks and power outages is one of them. This is a short list of what a power outage will effect:

– Water Supply
– Heating and Cooling
– Lighting
– Internet (cell phone connectivity is typically unaffected)
– Cooking (completely with electricity and just the ignition for natural gas)
– Garage Door Usage (unless you have an integrated backup battery)

Steps to fix the problem:

1. Check to see if you are an isolated case by reaching out to a neighbor.
2. Perhaps you have some tripped circuits in your breaker box.
3. Report the outage to Xcel via a phone call 800.895.4999 or on their app.
