Water Heater Repair and Installation in Aurora, CO

When your water heater stops working, you need it fixed fast. Two Bears Plumbing repairs all brands of tank and tankless water heaters and handles emergency replacements the same day whenever possible. Aurora’s hard water accelerates mineral buildup inside tanks — we offer flush and maintenance services to extend your heater’s life and prevent surprise failures.

Tank Water Heater Repair and Replacement

Standard tank water heaters are the most common type in Aurora homes. They store 40-50 gallons of hot water and heat it continuously. Common problems we repair include:

• No hot water — faulty thermostat, thermocouple, or heating element
• Lukewarm water — sediment buildup insulating the heating element
• Leaking tank — corrosion from hard water and age
• Strange noises — popping or rumbling from sediment buildup
• Rusty water — corroded anode rod that needs replacement

When repair isn’t cost-effective, we handle same-day replacement with top brands like Rheem, Bradford White, and A.O. Smith. See our guide on water heater replacement costs in Aurora for detailed pricing. Every installation includes proper venting, expansion tank (Colorado code requirement), and T&P relief valve testing.

Tankless Water Heater Installation

Tankless water heaters provide unlimited hot water on demand and last 15-20 years — nearly double a tank heater. They’re a great investment for Aurora homeowners who want energy savings and endless hot water.

We install both gas and electric tankless units and handle all the associated plumbing modifications, including gas line upgrades and venting. We also service and descale existing tankless units to prevent hard water damage.

Hard Water and Your Water Heater

Aurora’s hard water is tough on water heaters. Calcium and magnesium minerals settle at the bottom of the tank as sediment. This layer insulates the water from the heating element, making the heater work harder and shortening its life.

Without regular flushing, a tank water heater in Aurora may last only 6-8 years instead of 10-12. Annual flushing removes this sediment buildup and keeps your heater running efficiently.

Expansion Tank Installation

Colorado building code requires an expansion tank on all new water heater installations. This small tank absorbs the pressure created when water heats up and expands. Without it, excess pressure can damage pipes, fittings, and the water heater itself.

If your current water heater doesn’t have an expansion tank, we recommend adding one. It’s a small investment that protects your entire plumbing system.
