About a third of Englewood homes heat with electricity, the highest share of any town we cover in Colorado, and most homes were built before 1980. Gas or electric, if your water heater has quit or is leaking, call and get a plumber out.
What shapes water heater trouble in Englewood
Electric water heaters are common here
About 34% of Englewood homes heat with electricity, more than anywhere else we cover in the state, and many have electric water heaters to match. The usual failures are a heating element, a thermostat, or the high-limit switch that cuts power when the water gets too hot.
If the breaker for the heater trips, reset it once. If it trips again, leave it off and call. That points to a shorted element or wiring problem.
Englewood treats its own water
The City of Englewood has its own water supply, drawn from the South Platte River and City Ditch and treated at the Allen Water Treatment Plant. Not every Englewood mailing address is inside city limits, so your supplier depends on where you live.
Pre-1980 homes, many of them rented
About 68% of Englewood homes were built before 1980, and about 51% of households rent. In older homes, the shutoff valve and connectors are often as old as the heater. Renters should let the landlord know first, then shut off the cold supply if water is leaking.
