Frequently Asked Questions

How long can I safely delay replacing a failing water heater?

It depends on what is failing. A leaking tank should be replaced immediately -- tanks do not seal themselves and leaks worsen. A unit that is noisy, slow to recover, or producing slightly rusty water may have months of serviceable life remaining, though each passing month is a gamble. A water heater over 12 years old with any of these symptoms is statistically likely to fail within 1 to 2 years. Proactive replacement avoids the damage a sudden failure can cause to flooring, drywall, and belongings.

Can a gas water heater leak carbon monoxide?

A gas water heater does not produce carbon monoxide from the tank itself, but combustion gases — including CO — can enter your home if the flue or venting system is cracked, blocked, or improperly installed. Signs of a venting problem include soot or black residue around the unit, a yellow burner flame instead of blue, or unexplained headaches and nausea in the home. If you suspect a CO issue, leave immediately and call 911. Annual inspections by a licensed plumber or HVAC tech catch venting problems before they become dangerous.

How do I winterize my water heater if my house will be empty?

If the home will be completely unheated during a Utah winter, the water heater and all plumbing must be properly winterized to prevent freezing damage. Steps: shut off the main water supply, turn off power or gas to the water heater, connect a hose to the drain valve and drain the tank completely, open the hot water faucets throughout the house to release pressure and allow the system to drain, and open the T&P valve briefly to break the vacuum. A licensed plumber can winterize the full system in 1 to 2 hours.

Why am I running out of hot water faster than I used to?

Faster hot-water depletion usually points to one of three issues: a failing lower heating element (electric), heavy sediment buildup reducing the effective tank capacity, or a thermostat set too low. If your household size hasn't changed and the unit is relatively new, a service call to check the elements and flush the tank often restores full capacity.
