What appliance installation covers
Residential appliance work in the Denver metro includes ranges, cooktops, ovens, dishwashers, laundry, refrigerators, and water heaters. Some units plug into an existing receptacle. Others need a new 120 or 240 V circuit, a gas connection, or a water and vent change. Water heaters also need a working temperature-and-pressure relief valve and a properly terminated discharge pipe. A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates the project and licensed specialty trades. Cost is project-specific and depends on fuel type, circuit or gas work, and whether the unit is a like-for-like swap.
text
Water heaters and energy code
City inspections check water-heater venting and T&P discharge termination. Denver Energy Code Chapter 5 [RE] applies when an alteration or addition includes a new service hot-water system (DEC R403.5). Like-for-like replacements with no change in geometry, demand, or material may use a CPD quick permit without plumbing plan review. Changing fuel type, location, or capacity is not like-for-like.
text
Permits and who coordinates the work
City and County of Denver Community Planning and Development issues plumbing permits when fixtures or water heaters are added, replaced, or relocated. New circuits and hardwired appliances need electrical permits. Gas appliance changes typically need plumbing or gas review. Colorado DORA regulates electrical and plumbing licensing. Cities and counties license general contractors. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license. Autotelic acts as a municipally licensed Denver general contractor and coordinates licensed specialty trades for appliance scopes.

What buyers should prepare
Appliance type, gas versus electric, photos of the existing receptacle or gas valve, and water-heater location and vent type.
