Pilot and burner repairs
A gas heater that keeps losing its pilot may have a worn thermocouple or a faulty gas valve. A plumber tests the part, replaces it if it has failed and relights the unit.
Water Heater Repair and Installation in Commerce City
A gas water heater that keeps losing its pilot, a tank that leaks or a shower that runs cold can mean a repair, a replacement or a move to tankless. Call us and describe what the heater is doing.
We cover tank and tankless units, gas and electric, in Commerce City and the nearby cities.
Water heater work
Replacing a tank
When the tank itself leaks, replacement is the fix. The plumber drains the old heater, sets the new one and connects the water, the gas or power, and the venting.
Going tankless
A tankless heater heats water as it flows, so the gas line, the venting and the electrical service all matter. The plumber checks them first, including for a garage install.
Adding or moving a heater
A heater in a new spot needs its own water lines, gas line or power, and venting. Moving one changes all of them.
Permits and licensing for water heaters
Commerce City lists water heaters under its residential plumbing and gas permit, and new and replacement gas appliances are on its permit list too. On top of the permit, Colorado wants a licensed plumber working for a registered plumbing contractor for a water heater installation or replacement, with an inspection by the local authority.
Picking the right size
Tank size follows the number of people using hot water and how many fixtures run together. For a tankless unit, the cold incoming water of a Commerce City winter matters most.
Enter your household in the size calculator or the tankless flow calculator. The tankless flow calculator also adjusts for winter weather in Commerce City.
How old is your heater?
A water heater’s serial number encodes its build date on brands that use a date code. The serial number decoder turns it into a year and an age, which helps in choosing between a repair and a replacement.
