Frequently Asked Questions

Are there rebates for water heater replacement in Utah?

Yes. Rocky Mountain Power and Dominion Energy Utah both offer rebates on high-efficiency water heaters, including heat pump water heaters and certain tankless models. Rebate amounts change periodically — check each utility's website for current programs before purchasing. Some manufacturers also offer mail-in rebates. Ask your Roy plumber about which models qualify.

Is hard water bad for my water heater?

Yes. Utah has some of the hardest water in the country. Calcium and magnesium minerals in hard water build up as scale inside the tank and on heating elements, reducing efficiency and accelerating wear. The result is higher energy bills, reduced hot water capacity, and a shorter lifespan — often 30–50% shorter than the manufacturer's estimate. A water softener or an annual descaling service can counteract this significantly.

Can a general contractor install a water heater in Utah?

Not without a licensed plumber on staff or subcontracted for the work. In Utah, plumbing work -- including water heater installation -- requires a state plumbing license. A general contractor can manage the project, but the actual plumbing connections must be made by someone with the appropriate license. Always ask who holds the plumbing license before signing any contract.

What is vacation mode on a water heater and how does it work?

Vacation mode reduces the tank temperature to a low setpoint (typically 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit) to minimize energy use while preventing pipes from freezing. On gas units, the burner fires only occasionally to maintain this lower temperature. On electric units, the element cycles minimally. Smart water heaters can be set to vacation mode remotely through an app. When you return, restore normal temperature and allow 30 to 60 minutes for the tank to reheat fully before expecting a full supply of hot water.
