Water Heater Repair in Strasburg, CO
90% of households in Strasburg 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 Strasburg heat with gas — 90% 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 Strasburg runs on
A gas town, and clearly so. The parts that fail on a gas heater are the pilot assembly, the thermocouple that proves the flame, and eventually the gas control valve itself.
| Fuel | Share of households |
|---|---|
| Gas — mains and bottled | 90% |
| Electricity | 8% |
| Fuel oil and kerosene | 0% |
| Everything else | 2% |
Drawn from table B25040 of the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey, 5-year estimates, 2023 release — 1,986 occupied housing units across Strasburg.
On gas, Strasburg is close enough to the Colorado figure that the difference is inside the survey’s margin of error — so the state pattern is a fair guide here, which is not true everywhere.
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
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. Work out which kind you have before you call, and the call gets much shorter.
After that it is the symptom that narrows things: nothing at all points one way, running out early another, and a puddle is the one to act on today.
