Water heater installations are regulated by building and safety codes because they involve gas, electricity, water pressure, and ventilation. Permits help ensure the installation meets current code requirements and reduces risks such as gas leaks, electrical issues, or improper venting.
In Colorado, permits are commonly required for both residential and commercial water heater installations, regardless of where the property is located. After installation, an inspection is often required to confirm the system was installed correctly and safely.
When a permitted installation is completed properly, it helps protect occupants and ensures the property remains compliant with local building codes. Licensed professionals typically handle the permitting process as part of the installation to make sure all requirements are met.
