Water Heater Repair in Englewood, CO
67% of households in Englewood heat with gas. That is the strongest free clue to what kind of water heater is in your basement, and it decides which faults are even possible.
Answer first
In Englewood the dominant heating fuel is gas, at 67% of households, which narrows what can be wrong before anybody opens a panel. It measures house heating, so it predicts the water heater rather than reporting it. On a gas heater the suspects are the pilot, the thermocouple and the gas control valve, in that order.

What Englewood runs on
With gas clearly in front, most tanks here burn it. That puts the usual faults on the burner side — pilot, thermocouple, gas valve — rather than on elements and thermostats.
| Fuel | Share of households |
|---|---|
| Gas — mains and bottled | 67% |
| Electricity | 31% |
| Fuel oil and kerosene | 0% |
| Everything else | 2% |
US Census Bureau, ACS 5-year estimates 2023, table B25040 (house heating fuel). Based on 50,347 occupied housing units in the ZIP code areas that cover Englewood.
That sits 3 points lower than the Colorado average, which is why we publish the town figure rather than the state one.
Read that as a strong indicator rather than a measurement of water heaters. The Census counts what heats the house; what heats the water usually follows it, and occasionally does not.
Which one do you have
Check for a flue. Gas heaters vent; electric heaters have nothing to vent and carry element access panels on the side instead. The fuel decides the fault list, so start there rather than with the symptom.
With the fuel settled, read across to the symptom: none, not enough, noise, or water where it should not be.
