Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a water heater expansion tank?
If your home has a "closed" plumbing system — meaning a pressure reducing valve (PRV), backflow preventer, or check valve on the main line — then yes, an expansion tank is required. Without one, the thermal expansion of heated water has nowhere to go, causing pressure spikes that stress the tank, pipes, and T&P valve. Most Utah homes built or re-plumbed in the last 20 years have a PRV and therefore need an expansion tank. Your plumber will check during any water heater installation.
Why does my electric water heater keep tripping the breaker?
A repeatedly tripped breaker on an electric water heater usually means one of three things: a heating element has shorted to the tank and is drawing excess current, a thermostat is stuck in the "on" position causing the element to overheat, or the circuit itself is undersized for the heater's wattage. Do not keep resetting the breaker — this is a fire hazard. A licensed electrician or plumber should inspect the elements and wiring before you restore power.
Is natural gas or electricity cheaper for water heating in Utah?
In Utah, natural gas is generally cheaper to operate for traditional tank water heaters. Dominion Energy Utah's residential gas rates are among the lowest in the country, while Rocky Mountain Power's electricity rates are moderate. That said, a heat pump water heater running on electricity uses 2 to 3 times less energy than a gas resistance unit, making it competitive on operating cost even with higher electricity rates. Run the numbers with your specific utility rates and hot water usage before deciding.
How long does a water heater repair typically take?
Most common repairs — replacing a heating element, thermostat, anode rod, or pressure relief valve — take 1–2 hours. More involved work like flushing heavy sediment buildup or repairing a flue can take 2–4 hours. If the plumber determines the unit needs replacement, expect 2–3 hours for a standard tank swap, slightly longer for tankless.
