Often worth considering. Builder-grade water heaters are selected to minimize construction cost and may carry shorter warranties or use lower-quality components. If you have a large household, high hot water demand, or plan to stay in the home long-term, upgrading to a Bradford White, A.O. Smith, or a tankless unit before closing can be negotiated into the build contract -- often at a lower installed cost than a post-construction replacement. Ask the builder for the specific model installed and research its warranty and reviews.
If you have a gas water heater and suddenly have no hot water, look for the small viewing window on the front of the unit — you should see a small blue flame. No flame means the pilot is out. Most modern units have printed re-lighting instructions on a label near the thermostat. If the pilot won't stay lit after re-lighting, the thermocouple likely needs replacement — a quick, inexpensive repair for a licensed plumber.
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.
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.
