What affects the price
Replacing a water heater involves several variables that change the final bill. The main factors are the type of unit you choose—like standard tank models versus tankless systems—and the fuel source, whether gas or electric. Installation complexity also plays a role, especially if we need to update venting, gas lines, or electrical wiring to meet current building codes. Relocating a unit or upgrading to a higher capacity will also shift the bottom line.
About this service
The cost to install a tankless system accounts for the unit, pipe rerouting, and potential electrical upgrades. If your home needs a larger gas line to support the unit’s power, the labor price will rise. We assess your home’s current plumbing and energy capacity before starting any work.

Frequently asked in Aurora
How long do hot water heaters typically last?
In Aurora homes, traditional tank water heaters generally have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. Tankless water heaters, with proper maintenance, can often last longer, potentially up to 20 years. Local water conditions and usage patterns in Colorado can affect these estimates. This helps with future planning.
What is the average cost of putting in a water heater?
What is the most efficient type of water heater?
For high efficiency in Aurora homes, tankless water heaters are frequently recommended as they heat water on demand. This eliminates standby energy losses associated with keeping water hot in a tank. Heat pump water heaters and high-efficiency tank models are also very efficient options. Your specific hot water needs will guide the best choice.
What are signs I need a new water heater?
Look for signs like leaks around the base of your Aurora water heater, discolored hot water, or unusual noises such as rumbling or popping. If your hot water supply is inconsistent or takes an excessive amount of time to heat up, it's a strong indicator for replacement. Units nearing or exceeding their 10-15 year lifespan also warrant consideration. Address these issues proactively.
What is the most common problem with a hot water heater?
A frequent issue for Aurora residents is a lack of hot water or reduced hot water volume. This can be caused by issues with heating elements, thermostat settings, or sediment buildup in the tank. Leaks from the tank or fittings are also common problems that require attention. Early detection is key to preventing further damage.
