Frequently Asked Questions
Should I turn off my water heater when I go on vacation?
For trips longer than a week, setting your water heater to vacation mode (or the lowest setting, around 50 degrees) saves energy without risking the unit. Turning it completely off is generally unnecessary and not recommended for gas units since relighting the pilot is a minor hassle. For longer trips in a Utah winter, make sure someone checks the property -- if pipes freeze, the water heater is the least of your concerns. Most modern water heaters have a dedicated vacation mode; check your owner's manual or the thermostat dial.
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.
When is a water heater drain pan required in Utah?
Utah follows the International Plumbing Code, which requires a drain pan under any water heater installed in a location where a leak could cause property damage -- including any unit installed above a finished living space, in an attic, or indoors in a location without a floor drain. The pan must be connected to a drain or discharge pipe that terminates at a visible, safe location. Even where not strictly required by code, drain pans are a best practice and required by most water heater warranties for indoor installations.
What is a point-of-use water heater and do I need one?
A point-of-use water heater is a small unit installed under a sink or near a specific fixture to deliver instant hot water at that location without waiting for the main water heater to push hot water through long pipes. They are useful for remote fixtures like a garage bathroom, a home addition, or a kitchen island far from the main water heater. POU units are typically electric (120V or 240V) and hold 2 to 20 gallons. They can supplement a whole-home system or eliminate hot water wait times at problem fixtures.
