Do I need a new water heater?

It depends on how old your water heater is, among other factors. A standard (tanked) water heater is designed to last about 10-15 years, while a tankless model is designed to last 15-25, depending on the model. If your water heater isn't that old yet, there's a good chance we can keep it running with repairs, instead of a full water heater replacement. The most common repairs include:

Pilot light issues

A pilot light that won't stay lit, or won't relight, usually involves either your gas line intake, starter, or valve. Versus the price of a new heater, this is typically an inexpensive repair.

Sediment buildup

Hard water can eventually cause a mineral buildup on the inside of your tank. These buildups can cause poor water flow, discolored water, or water with an off odor. Your standard water heater will typically need to be flushed a couple of times over the life of the unit.

Insufficient hot water or slow recovery time

Water heater thermostats and ventilation can cause several issues with your water heater supply and availability, which may require a variety of fixes, based on the exact circumstances.

Our Plumbers Install Tankless Water Heaters

Many homeowners in Colorado have never even considered a tankless water heater, since they assume that they're out of their price range.

The fact is that many normal families would actually save money over the lifetime of their water heater by going the tankless route.

While initial equipment and installation costs can absolutely be higher than a tanked heater, the savings add up over time. If your water heater is located somewhere with poor insulation, despite wrapping, a tanked heater would have to reheat more often to keep the temperature within range.

A tankless water heater doesn't have that problem, since it only heats water when you need it. The heater itself can also last significantly longer than a tanked heater - sometimes even twice as long.

Tankless water heaters are best for:

- Families who leave their houses unoccupied for long periods (frequent travelers)

- Smaller families with fewer simultaneous hot water needs

- Homes with oversized bath tubs, or residents who enjoy exceptionally long showers

- Homes where space is at a premium, or access to a tanked heater could be difficult

- Homeowners who can afford a higher upfront cost for higher long term savings

Tanked water heaters are best for:

- Families who do not travel as often

- Larger families with many simultaneous hot water needs

- Homeowners who would rather save money in the short term, even if it eventually costs more.
