Colorado Springs homeowners know that a reliable hot water heater is not a luxury—it is a necessity. Winter nights frequently drop below freezing, and even spring mornings can feel brisk at 6,000 feet. When your unit fails, you need quick answers, transparent pricing, and a crew that shows up on time. CountBricks delivers all three.
Traditional estimates often require multiple site visits, handwritten notes, and days of back-and-forth. CountBricks skips the lag. Our AI listens to a real-time conversation with you on-site, translates your project details into labor tasks, current Colorado material prices, and municipality permit fees, then returns a line-item quote before we leave your driveway.
• No waiting days for an email quote
• No surprise costs halfway through the job
• All data pulled from up-to-the-minute supplier pricing in El Paso County
1. Age of unit exceeds ten years for tank heaters or fifteen for tankless models
2. Rust-colored water or metallic taste at tap
3. Popping or rumbling noises during heating cycles
4. Visible leaks around the base or relief valve
5. Higher utility bills despite unchanged usage
CountBricks technicians confirm these symptoms during a complimentary inspection. Using thermal imaging and flow-rate sensors, we distinguish between minor repairs and full replacement so you spend only what is necessary.
Electricity rates in Colorado average 11.93¢ per kWh, while natural gas hovers around $1.07 per therm. That makes gas the cheaper long-term fuel, but electric units often install faster and avoid venting challenges in tight crawlspaces.
• Gas heaters cost 10-15 % more upfront but save 25 – 30 % annually on energy
• Electric heaters pair well with rooftop solar panels common in newer Springs developments
• CountBricks software models lifetime cost of ownership for each option in minutes

• Proper seismic strapping for basements along the Rampart Range fault line

Replacing a water heater is more than swapping tanks. Done right, it becomes an opportunity to future-proof your home, curb monthly bills, and boost resale value. CountBricks helps homeowners capitalize on that opportunity.
• Demand-controlled recirculation saves up to 12,000 gallons of water per year—critical in drought-prone Colorado.
• Wifi-enabled thermostats let you lower set-points remotely while traveling, trimming energy waste.
• Insulated expansion tanks reduce heat loss and extend system life.
Our AI takes local climate data and your household’s usage profile to predict 5-, 10-, and 15-year operating costs. That means you can compare a standard 0.60 EF tank against a hybrid heat-pump model with real dollars, not marketing claims.
Every CountBricks installation is logged in your private dashboard. You receive automated reminders before factory warranties lapse and a one-click option to schedule preventive maintenance. No more digging through binders to find serial numbers when a problem occurs.
When a 19th-century home in the Old North End needed a discreet upgrade, structural constraints ruled out direct-vent gas. CountBricks proposed a compact tankless electric unit paired with existing solar PV. Our AI takeoff pinpointed available wall space, calculated amperage load, and produced a permit-ready drawing set in under an hour. The homeowner cut annual utility costs by 41 % and freed up a full closet for storage.
• Drain and flush your tank every six months to remove mineral buildup common in Pikes Peak aquifers.
• Test the temperature-pressure relief valve yearly; CountBricks technicians include this in our membership plan.
