We are having issues with the power in our house. The symptoms are , a burned out dryer mootor , flickering lights, non working heater, outlet voltage from 74-150 volts, when turning on lights other lights dim, when turning on any light or applience if you dare the stove resets. We had an electrician identify this as a Bad Neutral Leg and that xcel energy would need to repair it, We have reported this 3 times. Xcels repsponse is that they can peak trhe meter so they do not need to come fix it. This is truly unacceptable behavior for a an issue that is their responsinility to fix.


A bad or "lost" neutral is a dangerous electrical condition where the neutral wire (white) is broken or loose, causing 120V circuits to behave erratically. It causes voltage imbalances where one leg rises (e.g., 140V+) while the other drops (e.g., 90V-), leading to flickering lights, burning smells, or ruined appliances. This is a severe hazard requiring immediate attention from an electrician or utility provider.
