Repairs on tank heaters
A heater that makes lukewarm water or leaks from a fitting can sometimes be repaired. A plumber looks at the heating parts, the valves and the connections, and tells you if the tank itself has failed.

Water heater work
Replacing a tank
When a tank has worn through, a new one goes in on the same connections. Sizing the new tank to the household is part of the job.
Going tankless
Switching from a tank to a tankless unit changes the venting and the gas or electric supply too. The tankless flow calculator shows what flow your showers need.
Adding or moving a heater
A heater going into a new spot needs water, gas or power, and venting brought to it. A plumber plans the new runs before the old unit comes out.
Permits and licenses for water heaters
In Colorado, installing or replacing a water heater takes a licensed plumber working for a registered plumbing contractor, and a permit and an inspection by the local authority. Westminster’s Residential Counter lists the Water Heater permit and the Water Heater Tankless permit separately.
Picking the right size
A tank is sized in gallons, and a tankless unit in gallons per minute at a given temperature rise. Both depend on how many people share the hot water and what runs together.
Tanks are sized with the water heater size calculator. Units that heat on demand are sized with the tankless flow calculator, which asks about showers and fixtures.
How old is your heater?
The label on the heater tells you how long it has served. Its serial number is a code for the build date, which the serial number decoder translates, so you can compare an old tank with a new one before you decide.
If a heater keeps failing, a leak or worn pipes may be behind it, so read about leak finding and repiping next. Our other services are listed on the home page.
