Frequently Asked Questions
What size water heater do home builders typically install?
Production builders typically install the minimum code-compliant water heater for the square footage -- often a 40 or 50-gallon gas unit for a 3 to 4 bedroom home. Builder-grade units are frequently entry-level models chosen for cost, not longevity or efficiency. They meet code but may not meet the actual hot water demand of a large family or homes with multiple bathrooms. Upgrading to a larger or more efficient unit before move-in (while access is still easy) is significantly cheaper than replacing it after the home is finished.
What temperature should I set my water heater to?
The U.S. Department of Energy recommends 120°F for most households — hot enough to inhibit bacterial growth while reducing scalding risk and energy use. If you have a dishwasher without a booster heater, 140°F may be recommended. Higher settings waste energy; lower settings (below 120°F) can allow Legionella bacteria to multiply in the tank. Your Perry plumber can check and adjust the thermostat during a service call.
Why does my high-efficiency tankless water heater drain water onto the floor?
This is normal operation, not a leak. Condensing tankless units extract so much heat from exhaust gases that water vapor condenses inside the unit and must be drained. This condensate is slightly acidic (pH 3 to 5) and should drain into a proper floor drain or condensate neutralizer -- not onto the floor. If the drain line is blocked or missing, the unit may shut down or overflow. A licensed plumber should ensure proper condensate drainage is included in any condensing tankless installation.
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.
