Water Heating
In Colorado homes and businesses, you’ll still find every generation of potable water heating side-by-side: old 40-gallon atmospheric vent gas water heaters in pre-1980s homes, high-efficiency condensing tank-style units, 50–80 gallon power-vent models for tighter basements, and ultra-efficient tankless on-demand gas heaters that never run out of hot water (perfect for large Front Range families or mountain homes with guests). Heat-pump (hybrid) electric water heaters are exploding in popularity thanks to rebates and Xcel Energy incentives—they pull heat from garage or basement air and can cut electric bills by 60%. Solar thermal systems with glycol loops and backup tanks thrive in our 300 days of sunshine from Denver to Grand Junction, while electric tank-style units still hang on in condos and small apartments. For off-grid cabins or high-altitude ranches, propane tankless and commercial-grade boilers with indirect water heaters can be found. Whatever the fuel—natural gas, propane, electric, or solar—Colorado’s hard water and cold incoming temps mean we are always pairing the heater with proper scaling protection and expansion tanks to make it last
