Who we are
What is Aurora Heater Fixer?
Aurora Heater Fixer is an independent referral service for water heater problems in Aurora, Colorado.
Aurora Heater Fixer helps homeowners in Aurora, CO get from a water heater problem to a qualified local provider quickly. We publish plain-language guides about water heater repair, installation, replacement and maintenance, and we run a phone line that connects callers with independent local providers who do the work.
We are not a plumbing company and we do not send our own technicians. That distinction matters, so we say it early and often. What we offer is clarity before the call and a connection during it: guides that explain what is probably wrong and what to ask, and a number you can call when you would rather talk to a person.
The site covers fifteen services, from a gas heater whose pilot will not stay lit to a tankless unit throwing error codes, a leaking tank, a hybrid installation and a boiler with no heat. You can browse them all on the water heater services page, and see where we help on the service area page.
Why we exist
Why does a site like this help?
A water heater failure is stressful, and most people do not know the vocabulary. A good guide closes that gap.
When a water heater fails, it is usually at a bad moment: a cold shower on a winter morning, water on the basement floor, a pilot light that will not stay lit. Most people do not know whether the problem is a ten-minute fix or an end-of-life tank, and the wrong guess can cost money or cause damage.
That is the gap we try to fill. Each guide on this site explains the common causes in plain words, lists what you can safely check yourself, flags the points where you should stop and call a professional and describes what a visit should involve. When you do call a provider, you know what to say and what to ask, and you are in a better position to judge the answer you get.
We also try to be honest about what a guide cannot do. It cannot diagnose your heater from a distance, it cannot quote a price and it cannot replace an inspection. Where safety is involved, such as gas smells, carbon monoxide, flooding or scalding water, the guides say plainly to leave, shut off what is safe to shut off and call for help.

Is Aurora Heater Fixer paid by the providers it refers?
Yes, and you should know that before you call.
Aurora Heater Fixer is an independent referral service. Providers may pay us for calls that we refer to them. It costs you nothing to call, and you are never obliged to book. The provider you speak with is independent: it sets its own prices, does its own work and is responsible for its own licensing, insurance and warranties.
Because credentials belong to the provider, we do not publish license numbers or insurance details on its behalf. Ask the provider for its license number and a certificate of insurance, and confirm the license with the Colorado state licensing office. Ask for a written estimate that separates the diagnostic, parts and labor, and compare it with the cost factors in the guide for your service.
If you smell gas
Leave the building at once, do not touch switches or flames, and call 911 or your gas utility from outside. Do this before you call us or anyone else.
