Water Heater Services Denver

The most common type in Denver homes. Gas and electric models from Bradford White and Rheem in 40, 50, and 75 gallon sizes. Installation starts at $2,400 for a standard replacement. Tank water heaters are straightforward to install, especially when replacing an existing unit of the same fuel type. They do not qualify for utility or federal rebates, but they have the lowest upfront cost of the three types.

Heat pump water heaters (hybrid water heaters) use heat pump technology to heat water 2-3x more efficiently than standard electric models. They pull heat from surrounding air and transfer it to the water tank, dramatically reducing energy consumption. The State Premier and Rheem Proterra are our most-installed models. Heat pump water heaters are the only type that qualifies for Xcel Energy rebates ($2,250) and HEAR federal rebates (up to $1,750 for income-qualified households). They need at least 700 cubic feet of airflow space, making basements and garages ideal locations. Installation runs $2,800 to $4,500 depending on existing electrical capacity and whether a dedicated circuit is needed.
