A reliable hot water supply is essential for everything from your morning shower to the efficiency of your dishwasher. At Ascent HVAC and Home Solutions, we provide comprehensive water heater service in Westminster, CO, ensuring you never have to deal with an icy surprise. Whether you are living in a classic home near Westminster High School or a modern townhome near the Orchard Town Center, our team is ready to provide the high-tier plumbing and heating expertise your home requires.

Because we are based in Westminster, we are intimately familiar with the local infrastructure and the common issues that plague North Denver water heaters. We bring the same commercial-grade standards we use for HVAC to our water heater services, offering fixed-price transparency and a commitment to quality that “big box” plumbing companies simply can’t match. From emergency repairs to high-efficiency tankless upgrades, we keep the hot water flowing across the NW Denver Metro area.

Many homeowners don’t realize that their geographic location significantly impacts the lifespan of their appliances. In Westminster, we face two specific environmental challenges: hard water and high altitude.

The water supplied to neighborhoods near Standley Lake and the Heritage Golf Course contains minerals that can lead to sediment buildup inside your tank. Over time, these minerals settle at the bottom of the heater, creating a “crust” that insulated the heating element. This causes your unit to work harder, making a “popping” or “rumbling” sound and eventually leading to a tank leak. As part of our Home Solutions approach, we offer professional tank flushing to remove this sediment and extend the life of your unit.

Westminster sits at an elevation of over 5,300 feet. For gas-powered water heaters, this means the air is thinner, which can affect the pilot light and the burner’s ability to get enough oxygen. A water heater not calibrated for our altitude can suffer from “yellow flame” combustion, leading to soot buildup and dangerous carbon monoxide risks. Our technicians are experts in high-altitude adjustments, ensuring your heater burns clean and efficient in the Colorado air.

We don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach to water heating. We evaluate your household’s peak water usage and energy goals to recommend the best system for your specific needs.

• Traditional Tank Water Heaters: These are the reliable workhorses of the American home. We install and repair all major brands, focusing on high-recovery models that ensure you don’t run out of hot water after just one shower.
• Tankless Water Heater Installation: If you are looking to save space and reduce your energy bills, a tankless system provides “endless” hot water on demand. These are becoming increasingly popular in newer Westminster developments near the Westminster Promenade.
• Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heaters: For the environmentally conscious Westminster homeowner, heat pump models offer incredible efficiency by pulling heat from the surrounding air to warm your water.
• Emergency Repair Services: A leaking water heater can cause thousands of dollars in water damage to your basement or utility closet. We offer 24/7 emergency water heater support to shut down leaks and restore service fast.

Don’t wait until you’re taking a cold shower to call us. If you notice these warning signs in your Westminster home, your water heater is likely nearing the end of its life:

• Rusty or Discolored Water: This often indicates that the internal sacrificial anode rod has failed and the tank itself is beginning to rust.

• Unusual Noises: Popping, banging, or rumbling sounds are clear indicators of heavy sediment buildup.

• Water Pooling Around the Base: Even a small amount of moisture can be a sign of a hairline fracture in the tank.

• Inconsistent Temperatures: If the water fluctuates between hot and cold, your heating element or dip tube may be failing.

• Age of the Unit: Most traditional tanks last 8 to 12 years. If yours is over a decade old, it is statistically likely to fail soon.
