Water Heater Repair Services
In Denver, reliable access to hot water is essential for comfort and daily living. When a water heater malfunctions, it can disrupt your routine and lead to significant inconvenience. Understanding the common issues that affect water heaters and recognizing when repairs are needed can help Denver homeowners address problems promptly, ensuring their systems operate efficiently. Timely repairs not only restore hot water but also prevent more extensive damage and costly replacements.
Signs You May Need Water Heater Repairs Include:
- No Hot Water: If your water heater is not producing hot water, it could be due to a failed heating element, a faulty thermostat, or issues with the gas supply in gas water heaters.
- Inconsistent Water Temperature: Fluctuating water temperatures can indicate problems with the thermostat, sediment buildup, or a malfunctioning heating element.
- Leaking Water Heater: Any visible leaks around the water heater tank or connecting pipes can signify internal corrosion, loose connections, or a cracked tank, all of which need immediate attention.
- Strange Noises: Banging, popping, or rumbling sounds from the water heater can be caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank, which can lead to inefficiency and potential damage.
- Discolored Water: Rusty or cloudy water can indicate corrosion inside the water heater tank or issues with the anode rod that require inspection and repair.
- Reduced Hot Water Supply: If you notice a decrease in the amount of hot water available, the issue could be related to sediment buildup or a failing heating element that needs repair or replacement.
- Pilot Light Issues: For gas water heaters, a pilot light that won’t stay lit could indicate problems with the thermocouple, gas control valve, or a clogged pilot orifice.
- High Energy Bills: An unexplained increase in energy costs can result from an inefficient water heater that struggles to maintain the desired water temperature.
Addressing these common water heater problems with the help of a professional ensures that your system operates effectively and efficiently. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can prolong the life of your water heater and provide continuous access to hot water. If you encounter any of these issues, contact a trusted water heater repair service in Denver to restore comfort and reliability to your home.
Do I Need a New Water Heater?
Not sure if you need a new water heater? We don’t blame you.
Here are times when we recommend you consider water heater installation:
- Your water heater needs repairs that cost more than half of what it would cost to replace the unit.
- Your water heater is old and requires repairs, or it is old and is not working as well as it used to.
- Your water heater is too small so there’s not enough hot water to go around.
- You have had to do frequent repairs to your water heater.
Which Water Heater is Right For Me?
There are many options when it comes to water heaters. We’ll help you choose the best one for your new hot water heater installation in Denver.
Electric Water Heater Installation vs. Gas Water Heater Installation
Gas water heaters and electric water heaters offer several different benefits depending on your house type and budget requirements. The expert plumbers at Blue Sky are here to discuss your options and find the best solution for you!
We’ll try to install the same type of water heater that you already have so you don’t have to pay to get your whole system changed. If you’re not happy with your current water heater, though, ask us about the pros and cons of electricity vs. gas. If you decide to change, our Denver water heater replacement experts get the work done fast!
Tank vs. Tankless Water Heater Installations
Tank water heaters are also known as conventional water heaters. They heat water, then hold it for later use. They aren’t terribly energy-efficient, but you’ll have hot water as soon as you need it.
Tankless water heaters heat water as you need it. They work fast, but you still may experience a delay in getting hot water to the far corners of your house. However, they are more energy-efficient and they have a much lower risk of flooding.
Benefits of Upgrading to a Tankless Water Heater
Are you considering upgrading your water heater but unsure of which type to choose? Tankless water heaters offer a variety of benefits that make them a popular choice for homeowners:
- Energy Efficiency: Tankless water heaters only heat water when it is needed, reducing energy waste and lowering utility bills.
- Space-Saving: Tankless water heaters are compact and can be installed in smaller spaces, freeing up storage space in your home.
- Endless Hot Water: With a tankless water heater, you'll never run out of hot water, making it ideal for households with high hot water demands.
- Longer Lifespan: Tankless water heaters have a longer lifespan than traditional tank water heaters, saving you money on replacement costs in the long run.
- Environmentally Friendly: Tankless water heaters produce less carbon emissions compared to traditional tank water heaters, reducing your home's carbon footprint.
Our team at Blue Sky Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric can help you determine if a tankless water heater is the right choice for your home and provide expert installation services in the Denver area.

Frequently Asked Plumbing Questions
-

-
What can I put down my garbage disposal?
As long as you use enough water, you can put almost any non-fibrous food down your garbage disposal. This includes bones up to ½” in diameter, coffee grounds, eggs and egg shells, orange rinds, apples, and potato peelings. Most problems occur when you don’t use enough water and don’t allow the water to run for at least 10 seconds after the food disappears.
-
How do I know if my toilet is leaking?
Toilet leaks are more common than you might think. This can make your water bill sky-high and leave you wondering what is going on. Here are a few signs that your toilet is leaking:
- You frequently have to jiggle the handle to make the toilet stop running.
- You have to hold down the handle when to flush to get the tank to empty.
- Water runs over the top of the overflow pipe.
- You hear sounds of water running in the toilet when it is not being used.
- Water runs down the sides of the toilet bowl long after the toilet was last used.
- You hear the toilet tank refilling even though it hasn’t been emptied recently.
-
What is the best kind of pipe for my home?
Most of the time, we suggest plastic or PEX/PVC piping for your home. This material lasts for a long time because it doesn’t rust and is less likely to crack or break than some other types of pipe. Unless you are in a very specific situation, which our plumbers will discover, we highly recommend this type of piping for your home.
-
What is hydro jetting?
Hydro jetting offers a way to clean your drains without digging up your yard or pulling your home apart to access clogged pipes. Instead, we use a tool that sprays highly-pressurized water into your pipes. We control the pressure of the water and where it sprays, so we can remove your clog and clean your entire pipe. A hydrojetting tool has one nozzle that sprays forward and 6-8 that sprays backward. On the first pass, the reverse-facing jets propel the nozzle forward while the front one breaks up clogs. When we pull the nozzle back through the pipe, the reverse jets scour the edges of the pipe until they look like new. If your plumber thinks that hydrojetting is a good option for you, we’ll let you know and get the job done fast.
-
Does Blue Sky Offer Commercial Plumbing Services?
Absolutely. No matter if you are a homeowner or a business owner, we’ve got your plumbing in Denver covered! We offer full commercial plumbing services for old or new buildings. Visit our Commercial Plumbing page to learn more about our plumbing services for businesses!
-
What kind of water heater should I get?
Most of the time, the type of water heater you get will be determined by the type of connections you already have. Unless you are highly motivated to change the type of water heater that you have, the best choice is usually to get the same kind that was installed before. If you are in a place to change the type of water heater that you have, gas is often the better option. It is cheaper and can heat larger quantities of water faster. However, gas water heaters are usually larger than electric ones and you cannot store flammable liquids nearby.
-
What kind of sink should I get?
When it comes to getting a new sink, you have many options. These include:
- Cast iron
- Stainless steel
- Corian
- Fiberglass
- Enameled steel
- Acrylic
- And more!
When our experts help you install a sink, we’ll ask you what you plan to do with it. Will you wash dishes in it regularly? Is it likely you will drop dishes or silverware in it? Then, we’ll ask you about your preferences. Do you want a large sink or a small one? Do you want a sink that sits on top of the counter or below the counter level? Once we know the answers to these questions, we’ll work with you to find the perfect kind of sink for your home. In general, cast iron and stainless steel are more durable than some other types of sinks, but they may require special care.
-
Why is my drain clogged? I’m so careful!
We believe you when you tell us that you are so careful about putting grease down your drains. Unfortunately, most people end up putting it down accidentally no matter how hard they try to do the opposite. When you rinse plates, bowls, pots, and pans in your sink, they often have a thin layer of grease on them. This gets rinsed down the drain with the rest of the debris from your plate. When this grease contacts a cold pipe downstream from the kitchen sink, it solidifies and attaches to the pipe wall. Over the years, even the smallest amounts of grease can build up and cause clogs. Don’t worry, though! Your Blue Sky plumber will get that clog out fast!
