Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to replace a water heater?

Spring and fall are ideal: plumbers are less busy than in winter (when emergency calls spike during cold snaps) and summer (peak home improvement season). You are also less likely to be without hot water in an uncomfortable season. If your water heater is showing early warning signs -- minor leaks, slowing recovery time, or age over 10 years -- replacing it proactively in spring or fall on your schedule is far less stressful and often cheaper than an emergency replacement in January.

Do gas water heaters have to be vented outside?

Yes. Gas combustion produces carbon monoxide and other combustion byproducts that must be safely exhausted to the outside. Standard atmospheric gas water heaters use a vertical metal flue; power-vent models use horizontal PVC runs; direct-vent models draw combustion air from and exhaust directly outside through a concentric pipe. The only exception is indoor-rated sealed-combustion tankless models. Never operate a gas water heater in an unvented space.

Why did my water heater pilot light go out?

The most common cause is a worn thermocouple — a small sensor that holds the gas valve open when the pilot is lit. When the thermocouple weakens, it can no longer reliably signal the valve, and the pilot extinguishes. A clogged pilot orifice, a strong draft, or a temporary interruption in gas supply can also cause it. Relighting the pilot following the label instructions is safe to try once; if it won't stay lit, the thermocouple (a $10–$25 part, about an hour of labor) is the likely fix.

How long do tankless water heaters last?

With proper maintenance — particularly annual descaling in Utah's hard-water areas — tankless water heaters typically last 15–20 years. That's nearly twice the lifespan of a traditional tank unit. The higher upfront cost can be offset by the longer service life and lower energy bills over time. Make sure the Bluffdale company you hire has experience with the brand you're purchasing.
