Water heater replacement cost by type.
Installed prices for Greenwood Village, adjusted for local labor. Larger tanks and code upgrades move the number up.
Water heater replacement in Greenwood Village typically costs between $750 and $3,700, depending on the type and installation complexity. With homes averaging 33 years old, many units are due for replacement, and the cold semi-arid climate means cold winter inlet water affects performance.

Winter inlet water runs cold here, so recovery rate matters — size up a tankless or favor a high-recovery tank. A pro can confirm the right size and fuel for your home.
