Question: My meter is inside my home. Can I read it myself and provide Xcel with the reading?

Answer:

Homeowners with inside meters or whose meters are in a hazardous location are eligible to enroll in the Meter Reading Window Card program. With this program, we will send you the Meter Reading Window Card along with instructions on how to use it. You set the dials on the Window Card to correspond to the dials on the meter, and display the card in your window on the appropriate date. The meter reader will record the information through the window of your home or garage.  See FAQ for additional information on reading a meter, or feel free to call our customer contact representatives with any questions at 1-800-895-4999.
