Water Heater Repair in Hudson, CO
79% of households in Hudson 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
Most households in Hudson heat with gas — 79% of them — which is the strongest free clue to what stands in the basement, though the figure counts house heating rather than the water heater itself. A gas unit fails at the pilot, the thermocouple, the gas control valve, or a flue that will not draft.

What Hudson runs on
In a town leaning this far onto gas, the water heater in most homes is a gas one, and gas failures are their own family: a pilot that will not stay lit, a thermocouple that has stopped proving flame, a gas control valve that has given up.
| Fuel | Share of households |
|---|---|
| Gas — mains and bottled | 79% |
| Electricity | 10% |
| Fuel oil and kerosene | 0% |
| Everything else | 12% |
Drawn from table B25040 of the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey, 5-year estimates, 2023 release — 1,474 occupied housing units across Hudson.
That is 23 points lower than Colorado as a whole, which is a real difference rather than a rounding one.
That figure is house heating fuel, not water heater fuel. They correlate strongly, because the same gas line generally serves both, but the Census does not publish the second one and we are not going to pretend it does.
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. Settle that one question and the rest of the conversation is straightforward.
Then match what you are seeing: cold from the start, hot then cold, banging and popping, or a leak.
