Electric Water Heater Repair, Maintenance & Installation

Electric water heaters are common in many homes because they’re efficient, reliable, and simple to maintain. However, issues like failed heating elements, thermostat malfunctions, or sediment buildup can reduce performance.

Applewood offers:

  • Electric water heater repair for systems that aren’t producing enough hot water or have stopped working
  • Electric hot water heater maintenance to improve efficiency and prevent breakdowns
  • Electric water heater installs for homeowners upgrading to a new tank or switching from another fuel source

Our technicians inspect wiring, the thermostat, heating elements, and safety components to ensure your unit runs safely and efficiently. Call (720) 780-9143 for reliable electric water heater service in Denver.

Gas Water Heater Repair & Installation

Gas water heaters heat water quickly and work efficiently, but they require expert handling due to the involvement of gas connections and ventilation systems. If you notice a lack of hot water, strange smells, pilot light problems, or unusual noises, it’s time for gas water heater repair.

Applewood specializes in:

  • Diagnosing burner and ignition issues
  • Repairing failed gas valves or thermostats
  • Replacing aging or unsafe tanks
  • Safe, code-compliant installation of gas water heater components
  • Flushing and maintaining tank water heaters

Safety is always our top priority. Our licensed technicians ensure proper ventilation, leak-free connections, and reliable heating performance.

Tankless Water Heater Services (Electric & Gas)

Tankless water heaters have become increasingly popular for their endless hot water supply and high energy efficiency. However, they require correct installation and yearly maintenance to stay in top condition.

Tankless Electric Water Heaters

We provide repair and maintenance for tankless electric systems, including descaling, heating element replacement, and performance tuning.

Tankless Gas Water Heaters

Our plumbers are trained to handle ignition failures, gas supply problems, mineral buildup, and temperature fluctuation issues on tankless gas systems.

Whether you’re upgrading to tankless or repairing an existing unit, Applewood ensures seamless operation and long-term reliability.

Hybrid & Heat Pump Water Heater Installation & Maintenance

Hybrid and heat pump water heaters are among the most energy-efficient systems available. They use heat from the surrounding air to warm water, significantly reducing energy consumption.

Our Water Heater Replacement Process

If your water heater is over 10–12 years old, leaking, producing rusty water, or struggling to keep up with demand, it may be time for water heater replacement. Applewood installs all major types of water heaters and ensures your new system is properly sized and safely connected.

Our water heater installation process includes:

  • Removal of your old unit
  • Code-compliant installation of the new system
  • Safety and performance testing
  • Instructions on operation and maintenance

Whether you need tank, tankless, electric, gas, hybrid, or heat pump installation, Applewood provides expert recommendations and professional workmanship.

Water Heater Frequently Asked Questions

Do plumbers fix water heaters?

Yes, we do! It can be confusing knowing who to call when things break down in your home. Because your water heater is directly connected to your home’s water system, it requires a licensed plumber to repair or replace it.

How often should I have my water heater serviced?

We recommend servicing your water heater annually. It’s important to drain the tank and remove sediment that can build up and block the heating elements. Regular water heater maintenance will extend its lifespan and keep its performance optimal.

What is the average lifespan of a water heater?

Traditional water heaters last between 8-12 years depending on how well they’re maintained. Tankless water heaters typically last longer, providing hot water for 15-20 years.

How do I choose the right size water heater for my home?

Most manufacturers and energy companies provide guidelines on water heater sizing. It depends how many people are in your home and how much hot water you use on a daily basis. Your friendly Applewood technician can help you select the size that’s best for your home.

What are the common causes of water heater failure?

Rust and corrosion are the most significant factors. That’s why maintaining a clean tank and functional anode rod is important. Once your water heater’s components break down or it starts to leak, it’s time for a replacement.
