Heater Drama at 6 AM

    Woke up to ice cold water on the coldest morning of the year. The heater had been slower for months, so I guess this was coming. I’m realizing water quality really beats appliances up. Looking for a trustworthy appliance repair in Colorado recommendation from someone who’s been through this.

    That’s a brutal way to start a winter day. I had the same thing happen in Lakewood last January, woke up to frost on the windows and a heater that gave up completely. Hard water here had slowly crusted everything up, which the tech later showed me. After a neighbor’s tip I booked https://highcityappliance.com/lakewood and what helped most was them explaining what failed and what didn’t need touching. Made it easier to trust the fix instead of feeling rushed.
