Frequently Asked Questions

Why do gas appliances need to be derated at high elevation in Utah?

At higher elevations, air is thinner -- there are fewer oxygen molecules per cubic foot. A gas burner designed for sea level will receive less oxygen at altitude, resulting in a richer fuel-to-air mixture, yellow flames, soot, and potentially dangerous CO production. The National Fuel Gas Code requires derating gas appliances approximately 4% per 1,000 feet above sea level. At Salt Lake City's elevation of roughly 4,300 feet, a 40,000 BTU burner should be derated to about 33,000 BTU.

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 Midvale company you hire has experience with the brand you're purchasing.

Why does my new water heater smell like burning?

A mild burning smell during the first few hours of operation is normal -- protective coatings and dust on the unit burn off during initial heating. This should dissipate within a few hours. A persistent burning smell, a chemical odor, or any smell accompanied by smoke or discoloration is not normal and warrants an immediate call to the installing plumber. For gas units, any sulfur smell after the initial burn-in could indicate a gas fitting issue and should be addressed immediately.

Is A.O. Smith or Bradford White better for Utah's hard water?

Both perform well, but Bradford White's Hydrojet Total Performance System -- a cold-water inlet dip tube designed to create turbulence and reduce sediment stratification -- is specifically designed to combat sediment buildup, making it a strong choice for Utah's hard-water conditions. A.O. Smith's Dynaclean dip tube provides similar benefits. Either brand, combined with annual flushing and regular anode rod inspections, performs well in Midvale.
