Utility Providers in Denver, NC

We recommend reaching out to Xcel Energy at least three business days before your move-in date. You can easily schedule your start date online, and your power will usually be active by 8:00 a.m. on the day you requested.

Absolutely, and we highly recommend it! Xcel Energy offers a program called Windsource, which allows you to pay a small monthly premium to ensure some or all of your energy comes from Colorado wind farms. It is one of the easiest ways to make your new move eco-conscious from day one.

Safety is our top priority. If you smell a “rotten egg” odor, do not turn on any lights or use your phone inside. Leave the house immediately and, once you are at a safe distance, call 911 and the Xcel Energy emergency line at (800) 895-4999.

Yes, Denver takes water conservation seriously. From May 1 — Oct. 1, Denver Water enforced annual summer watering rules, which include no watering between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and limiting outdoor watering to no more than three days per week.

They sure do! We love seeing neighbors save water and money. You can often find rebates for high-efficiency toilets and smart irrigation controllers, just be sure to keep your receipts and apply within 90 days of your purchase.

Denver recently moved to a “sustainable billing” model, which means you pay based on the size of your black trash cart. The smaller your cart, the less you pay, currently ranging from about $9 to $21 per month. The best part? Weekly recycling and composting are included at no extra charge!

Denver’s composting program is fantastic and accepts all food scraps (including meat and dairy), coffee grounds, and yard waste. By using your green bin instead of the trash, you are helping the city reach its goal of keeping 50% of household waste out of the landfill.

For those large moving boxes or old furniture, Denver offers Extra Trash Collection every four weeks. You can put out up to five large items or 10 bags of extra trash on your scheduled day, just check your calendar on the Denver Utilities website.

While Xfinity and CenturyLink (Quantum Fiber) are available almost everywhere, Google Fiber is expanding rapidly through neighborhoods like Berkeley, Congress Park, and Central Park. We suggest checking your specific address at least two weeks before you move to lock in the fastest speeds.

Yes, we want to make sure all our neighbors stay warm. The Low-income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) is a federally funded program that helps Colorado families with a portion of their winter heating bills. You can apply between Nov. 1 and April 30 each year.
