These water heaters can be one of the more in depth to install because a gas line and a ventilation line needs to be installed in order to properly install this type of water heater. The gas line is so the water heater can receive the fuel to heat the water and the ventilation line is to expel the leftover gas after the water has been heated.
Gas water heaters are usually more expensive upon purchase but cheaper to run than an electric unit.

Drawbacks of Gas Water Heaters in Colorado Springs

One drawback to gas water heaters is that they can be less efficient the higher the elevation above sea level due to the lower levels of oxygen and differences in atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure decreases with higher elevation and gas water heaters rely on atmospheric pressure to draw in combustion air and vent exhaust gases. At high elevations, the reduced pressure can affect the proper functioning of the water heater, potentially leading to operational issues.

Colorado Springs has an elevation of approximately 6,000ft above sea level. At around 4,500ft gas water heaters will work fine but for 1,000 ft above that, efficiency should be decreased by 4%. At higher elevations, the concentration of oxygen in the air decreases. Gas water heaters require oxygen for combustion, and lower oxygen levels can throw off the air-to-fuel ratio negatively affecting their combustion efficiency. 

Manufacturers typically design gas water heaters to work efficiently at lower elevations, so at higher elevations, there may be less oxygen available for combustion. At higher elevation you might need to modify your gas water heater to work properly because of the reduction in the supply of oxygen.
Some manufacturers make water heaters specifically for high altitudes but they cost more. These models are typically equipped with features such as high-altitude orifices and pressure regulators to compensate for the lower oxygen levels and reduced atmospheric pressure.

It’s important to consult with one of our qualified technicians when looking to install a gas water heater in Colorado Springs to ensure that it will operate safely and efficiently. Additionally, local building codes and regulations may have specific requirements for gas appliances installed at high elevations, so it’s essential to comply with these regulations to ensure safety and efficiency.
