Water Heater Repair in Ault, CO
69% of households in Ault heat with gas. That is the strongest free clue to what kind of water heater is in your basement, and it decides which faults are even possible.
Answer first
69% of Ault households burn gas for heat, and a water heater almost always sits on whatever line the furnace already uses. That is house heating fuel, so read it as a strong hint rather than as a reading of your own tank. A gas unit fails at the pilot, the thermocouple, the gas control valve, or a flue that will not draft.

What Ault runs on
Most households here burn gas, which means the tank usually has a flame under it and a vent above it, and both can be the reason for cold water.
| Fuel | Share of households |
|---|---|
| Gas — mains and bottled | 69% |
| Electricity | 21% |
| Fuel oil and kerosene | 0% |
| Everything else | 10% |
Figures from the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey, 5-year estimates, table B25040, 2023 release, covering 1,541 occupied housing units across Ault.
That sits 12 points lower than the Colorado average, which is why we publish the town figure rather than the state one.
Strictly, the survey asks what heats the home. Water heating almost always runs on the same supply, but the two can differ in one house without differing in the town.
Which one do you have
Check for a flue. Gas heaters vent; electric heaters have nothing to vent and carry element access panels on the side instead. Establish the fuel first; almost every useful question after that depends on it.
From there the symptom decides the rest: none at all, not enough of it, a tank that rumbles, or water on the floor, which is the one that will not wait.
