Solar 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
These systems use thermal collectors on your roof to harness sunlight and pre-heat your water before it reaches your main heater. This is a great choice if you want to lower your monthly utility bills and leverage renewable energy. They generally require a backup heat source for cloudy days.
