Water Heater Repair in Evans, CO
Most Evans homes went up in the 2000s, so their first water heaters are long past 10 years. Gas here comes from Atmos Energy, not Xcel. If your water heater has quit or is leaking, call and get a plumber out.
What shapes water heater trouble in Evans
Built in the 2000s, now on borrowed time
About 46% of Evans homes were built between 2000 and 2009. Water heaters installed then are 16 to 26 years old today, well past the usual 8 to 12 years, so if yours is still the original it is living on borrowed time.
If your heater has already been replaced once, the second one may be reaching 10 years too. The age is on the label. Have it handy when you call.
Atmos Energy, not Xcel
The City of Evans directs natural gas questions to Atmos Energy, while Xcel lists Evans for electricity only. That matters in an emergency: a gas smell gets reported to Atmos at 866-322-8667, after you're out of the house.
About 81% of Evans homes heat with gas, and gas water heaters fail at the pilot, thermocouple, flame sensor or gas valve.
Water bought from Greeley
Evans' 2026 water report shows the city buys treated surface water from Greeley and other suppliers, drawing on sources such as Boyd Lake, Lake Loveland and the Cache la Poudre River. The report doesn't list hardness. Any tank collects some sediment over time, so popping or rumbling is worth a look.
Safe steps for Evans homes
- Leaking? Close the cold water valve on top of the tank.
- Turn off the gas valve or the breaker for the heater.
- Gas smell? Atmos Energy serves Evans. Leave the house and call Atmos at 866-322-8667 and 911 from outside.
