First tanks

A town full of first water heaters

About 47% of Windsor homes went up in 2010 or later, and 71% since 2000. Most tank water heaters last roughly 8 to 12 years, so many homes here are now on their original heater as it reaches the end of its normal life.

Signs a first tank is nearly done: rusty hot water, a damp ring at the base, or popping and rumbling. A leak from the tank body means replacement. A failed part on a sound tank can usually be repaired.

Gas

Mostly gas, mostly Xcel

About 78% of Windsor homes heat with natural gas, and Xcel Energy lists Windsor for gas service. Gas water heaters fail most often at the pilot assembly, thermocouple or flame sensor, the gas valve and the venting.

Newer gas heaters often use power venting or electronic ignition. If yours shows a blinking status light, count the blinks before you call. It's often a fault code the plumber can use.

Winter

Weld County winters

The NOAA station in nearby Greeley averages about 153 nights a year at or below freezing, with January lows near 17°F and around 35 inches of snow. Colder incoming water makes the heater run longer, and that's when a tired part gives out.

Before the plumber arrives

Safe steps for Windsor homes

  1. Leaking? Close the cold water valve on top of the tank.
  2. Turn off the gas valve or the breaker for the heater.
  3. Gas smell? Xcel Energy serves Windsor. Leave the house, call 911 from outside, then Xcel Energy at 800-895-2999.

Questions

Windsor water heater questions

Who is the gas company in Windsor, CO?

Xcel Energy lists Windsor for natural gas service. If you smell gas, leave first, call 911 from outside, then Xcel at 800-895-2999.

My water heater came with the house when it was built. Should I replace it?

If it's around 10 years old or more and leaking, rusty or noisy, replacement usually makes sense. If it's younger and one part failed, repair is usually the better value. The label shows the age.

What does a blinking light on my gas water heater mean?

On many models the status light blinks a code. Count the blinks and note the pattern, then call. It often points straight to the thermopile, flame sensor or venting.

Do you cover both Windsor ZIP codes?

Yes, 80550 and 80551 are both covered. Call and we'll confirm your address.
