Water Heater Repair in Lyons, CO

77% of households in Lyons 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

77% of Lyons 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.

HeaterRelay is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. We carry out no work, we sell no equipment, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.

What Lyons runs on

With gas clearly ahead, a cold tank usually means the burner never lit — not that the heater has worn out.

Fuel	Share of households
Gas — mains and bottled	77%
Electricity	17%
Fuel oil and kerosene	under 1%
Everything else	6%

Figures from the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey, 5-year estimates, table B25040, 2023 release, covering 1,993 occupied housing units across Lyons.

That sits 28 points lower than the Colorado average, which is why we publish the town figure rather than the state one.

It is worth being precise: this counts home heating fuel. It predicts the water heater well and does not measure it, and no published table measures it directly.

Which one do you have

Not sure which you have? A metal flue rising off the top is a gas heater. Two small access panels on the side and no flue is an electric one. Find out what your own tank burns before anyone quotes you anything.

With the fuel settled, read across to the symptom: none, not enough, noise, or water where it should not be.
