What is the first step homeowners should take to prepare for Colorado HB 23-1161?

If you’re unsure how HB 23-1161 may affect your home, taking a few proactive steps can help you make a confident, well-informed decision.

Your best first step is to:

• Determine the age of your furnace and water heater to understand their remaining lifespan.
• Schedule a professional evaluation to assess the condition, safety, and efficiency of your heating and water heating systems.
• Discuss your budget and long-term plans with a licensed contractor who understands current and upcoming Colorado regulations.

From there, you can decide whether to replace your equipment soon, plan and budget for a future upgrade, or continue with safe and cost-effective repairs for the time being.
