Electric water heater — Boulder, CO
Last updated: September 24, 2026
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
Electric water heaters use heating elements inside the tank to keep your water warm. When these elements burn out or the thermostat fails, you lose your hot water quickly. We can replace faulty elements, fix wiring issues, or install a new tank if your current one has reached the end of its life. If your electric unit is tripping breakers or failing to keep up with your household demand, we can provide a professional assessment of your options.

What is a tankless hot water heater?
A tankless hot water heater, also known as an on-demand water heater, heats water only when you need it. Unlike traditional tank heaters that store and continuously heat water, tankless units heat water as it flows through them. This provides a continuous supply of hot water and can be more energy-efficient. They are a popular choice for many homeowners seeking efficiency and convenience.
What is a 50-gallon water heater?
A 50-gallon water heater is a common type of tank water heater that stores and heats up to 50 gallons of water at a time. It's typically suitable for small to medium-sized households. The dimensions usually range from about 20-24 inches in diameter and 48-60 inches in height. The specific size and type (gas or electric) will depend on your home's needs and energy availability.
