Who issues your water heater permit
Every jurisdiction here requires a permit and inspection to replace a water heater, and we pull it on every replacement. The 12 cities and towns issue their own, Estes Park only inside its town limits. Larimer County issues permits in unincorporated LaPorte, Bellvue, Masonville and Livermore, and Weld County in unincorporated Weld. Our water heater permit guide lists each office and fee.
Utilities and rebates
Fort Collins, Loveland, Longmont and Estes Park run their own electric utilities, so heat pump water heaters there qualify for Efficiency Works rebates of up to $600, or $400 when replacing gas, and Poudre Valley REA members get $350. Gas comes from Xcel Energy in most of the area, Atmos Energy in Greeley and parts of Windsor, and Black Hills Energy in Wellington. Check current amounts with your utility and our heat pump water heater rebates guide.
Altitude: two bands
Every community here sits above 4,600 feet, and each gas heater is set up for altitude by its manufacturer’s instructions. At their USGS points, 12 communities, from Greeley (4,674 feet) to Bellvue (5,131), fall in Rinnai’s 2,001 to 5,200 foot band, while Wellington’s point (5,207), Masonville (5,391), Livermore (5,890) and Estes Park (7,530) fall in its 5,201 to 7,700 foot band.
Soft water wherever it is measured
Every local supply that publishes a hardness figure measures soft in its latest water quality report, from 14 mg/L in Estes Park to about 35 for the East Larimer County Water District, and Fort Collins Utilities calls its water naturally soft. Softeners are usually unnecessary, though a private well can differ, and water heater maintenance still matters.
Propane in the foothills
Census estimates show 52% of homes in the Livermore ZIP code area, 41% in the census tract containing Masonville and 27% in the Bellvue ZIP area heat with propane, against 4% across Larimer County. Propane water heaters need parts made for propane; see gas water heater repair.
Service area FAQ
Who issues water heater permits outside town limits?
Larimer County’s Building Division (970-498-7700) issues them for unincorporated Larimer County, including the area outside Estes Park’s town limits; Weld County’s Building Inspection Division (970-400-6100) covers unincorporated Weld.
Which towns need a high-altitude kit?
It depends on the heater: Navien’s NPE-2 natural gas units need one at 5,400 feet or higher, which includes Livermore and Estes Park. Other models follow their own manuals, so we check each home’s elevation.
Is the water hard anywhere you work?
Not on any public supply that publishes a figure. Loveland’s 2025 yearly average is 24 mg/L, about 1.4 grains per gallon, far from the 10 to 17 grains some websites claim.
Do you work on propane water heaters?
Yes. Propane models are exempt from Colorado’s 2026 NOx sale rule until January 1, 2031, so propane heaters that miss its limits can still be sold until then.
