Water Heater Repair in Loveland, CO
78% of households in Loveland 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
78% of Loveland households burn gas for heat, and a water heater almost always sits on whatever line the furnace already uses. That is house heating fuel, so read it as a strong hint rather than as a reading of your own tank. Gas heaters go wrong at the burner end: pilot, thermocouple, control valve, flue.

What Loveland runs on
Gas is the clear majority here, so a gas tank is the reasonable first assumption. The failure that brings most of these calls is a flame that will not stay lit.
| Fuel | Share of households |
|---|---|
| Gas — mains and bottled | 78% |
| Electricity | 20% |
| Fuel oil and kerosene | under 1% |
| Everything else | 2% |

That sits 7 points higher than the Colorado average, which is why we publish the town figure rather than the state one.
Strictly, the survey asks what heats the home. Water heating almost always runs on the same supply, but the two can differ in one house without differing in the town.
Which one do you have
The quick test is the top of the tank. A vent pipe means combustion; no vent means elements. Find out what your own tank burns before anyone quotes you anything.
The symptom does the rest of the work. Hot water that quits early is the most informative of them; a leak from the tank itself is the most urgent.
