What affects the price

When you are looking at the price of a new water heater, a few main things shift the final number. The type of unit you choose—whether it is a tank model or a tankless system—is the biggest factor. You also have to consider the fuel source, like gas or electric, and the physical space where the heater sits. If your home needs new venting, updated piping, or a different hookup to meet current safety codes, that adds labor time to the project.

About this service

An expansion tank protects your plumbing system from pressure spikes caused by thermal expansion as water heats up. We install this tank on the cold water supply line, which helps prevent leaks and extends the life of your heater. You need this installation if your home has a closed-loop plumbing system or if you experience relief valve dripping. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Even though it is warm outside, your water heater is still working daily. Summer is a great time to adjust your settings, as the incoming water isn't as cold, which can actually help extend the life of your unit. If you are planning a home renovation or just want to upgrade to a more efficient model, call us to talk through your options.

Frequently asked in Colorado Springs

How long do hot water heaters typically last?

In Colorado Springs homes, standard tank water heaters commonly last between 8 to 12 years. The lifespan can be influenced by the hardness of your local water and how well the unit is maintained. Regular flushing can help prevent sediment buildup. Consider your unit's age when evaluating its performance.

What is the average cost of putting in a water heater?

The cost to install a new water heater in Colorado Springs can vary based on the type and capacity of the unit. Additional costs might include necessary plumbing modifications or electrical work. We can provide a clear, itemized quote when you schedule your consultation.

What is the most efficient type of water heater?

For the best efficiency in Colorado Springs homes, look into high-efficiency tankless water heaters or heat pump models. Tankless systems heat water on demand, eliminating standby energy losses. Heat pump water heaters use surrounding air to heat water, offering significant energy savings. They are a great option for reducing utility bills.

What are signs I need a new water heater?

Look for signs like a significant decrease in hot water supply, or if the water is discolored or smells strange. If you notice leaks around the base of the tank or hear popping or rumbling noises, it's time for a professional assessment. An increase in energy usage for hot water is also a key indicator.

What is the most common problem with a hot water heater?

Sediment buildup is a very common issue, leading to reduced efficiency and noise. Another frequent problem involves the heating elements in electric models or the pilot light and thermocouple in gas units, which can prevent heating. Corrosion of the tank can also lead to leaks. Proper maintenance is crucial.

Is it worth it to repair a water heater?

Repairing a water heater is often a good choice for newer units with less severe problems. However, if your water heater is nearing its typical lifespan or has significant issues like tank corrosion, replacement is usually more cost-effective. A technician can assess the overall condition and provide expert advice.
