Repairs on tank heaters
Lukewarm water, a pilot that will not stay lit or a dripping relief valve can be a part that has worn out. Swapping an element, thermostat or valve can be enough when the tank itself is sound.
Water Heater Repair and Installation in Broomfield
A water heater that runs out of hot water early, leaks at the base or has stopped heating needs a decision: repair or replace. We look at the unit with you, tank or tankless, gas or electric, and explain which route makes sense.
This work covers Broomfield homes and the nearby cities we serve.
Water heater work
Replacing a tank
A tank that leaks from the body cannot be patched. We remove the old heater, set a new one of the right size, connect the supply and vent lines and test it before we leave.
Going tankless
A tankless heater heats water as it flows, so a long shower does not drain a tank. It needs the right gas line or electrical service, which we check before you commit.
Adding or moving a heater
Moving a heater to a garage, closet or utility room, or adding one for a far bathroom, means new pipe runs and sometimes a new vent. We lay out the route and handle the permit steps.
Permits and licenses for water heaters
Broomfield permits every water heater, new ones and replacements alike. Colorado also treats a water heater swap as licensed work, done by a licensed plumber working for a registered plumbing contractor, with the permit and inspection handled through the local authority.
Picking the right size
Size depends on how many people use hot water at the same time. A bigger household or two bathrooms running together asks for a larger tank or a stronger tankless unit.
Try the water heater size calculator for a first estimate. For tankless, the tankless flow calculator assumes the cold winter water Broomfield’s climate brings, and shows the flow a unit needs to meet.
How old is your heater?
The serial number on the label holds the build date, and the serial number decoder turns it into an age. A heater that has been running for years and is starting to fail is easier to replace on your schedule than during a cold snap.
If a heater is leaking, the leak finding page explains how we trace the water, and the repiping page covers the supply lines. You can also return to the home page.
