Right unit, right install, no surprises: Water Heater Installation & Replacement

We at Arvada Pro Plumbing help local homeowners with professional Water Heater Installation & Replacement.

Dealing with a cold shower in the middle of a Colorado winter is a frustrating way to start the morning. Watch for these three common signs of an impending failure:

  • Rust-colored water
  • Loud popping noises
  • Puddles around the base

We install the right replacement for your home when a repair no longer makes sense. A typical traditional tank water heater only lasts about 8 to 12 years in our state. Colorado’s notoriously hard water causes mineral sediment buildup that eventually ruins the bottom of the tank.

Our plumbing pros help you size the unit and choose between gas, electric, and tankless options.

High-Altitude Fact: Arvada sits at over 5,300 feet in elevation. Factory-standard gas heaters often run too rich up here and create dangerous soot without proper adjustments.

We handle the complete removal, installation, venting, and high-altitude code compliance. You will also need proper documentation to pass local safety inspections. The City of Arvada requires residential mechanical permits for any new appliance.

We pull these permits for you to ensure everything is completely legal and safe. Free estimates are available on replacement projects. This clear pricing process eliminates any surprises for your budget.

We install several reliable designs to match your specific lifestyle.

What we install

  • Conventional gas tank water heaters
  • Electric tank water heaters
  • Tankless (gas and electric)
  • Hybrid heat-pump models
  • Power-vent and direct-vent units for tight spaces

Choosing the perfect hardware depends on your daily habits and your available basement space. Some models prioritize upfront affordability, while others focus on long-term utility savings.

Our team highly recommends on-demand systems because they can easily last 15 to 20 years. Each style offers a distinct advantage for your property. The Department of Energy reports that tankless models are up to 34% more energy efficient for homes using less than 41 gallons of hot water daily.

We also suggest looking into a new Energy Star certified heat pump water heater for massive savings.

Water Heater TypeAverage LifespanKey Benefit
Conventional Tank8 to 12 YearsLower upfront cost and fast installation.
Tankless (On-Demand)15 to 20 YearsUp to 34% better energy efficiency.
Hybrid Heat-Pump10 to 15 YearsCuts electric costs significantly.

A family of four can save approximately $550 per year on electric bills compared to a standard electric tank. This hard data helps you make a confident decision for your property.

We calculate your exact potential savings during your initial consultation. A quality setup ensures your new equipment performs perfectly from day one.

Water Heater Install FAQs

What size water heater do I need?
For a tank: roughly 30–40 gallons for 1–2 people, 40–50 for 3–4, 50+ for 5 or more. For tankless: based on peak GPM. We size based on your household, not a one-size guess.
Gas, electric, or tankless?
Gas is usually cheaper to run. Electric is easier in homes without gas. Tankless saves space and gives endless hot water but costs more upfront. We walk through the trade-offs.
How long does installation take?
A like-for-like tank swap is usually a half day. A gas-to-tankless conversion or new venting can be a full day or more.
Will you remove my old unit?
Yes. Removal and disposal are included in every install.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. We pull permits and coordinate inspection so the install is documented and to code.
