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.

How do I register my new water heater warranty?

Most manufacturers require online registration within 30 to 90 days of installation to activate the full warranty; without registration, you typically receive a shorter default warranty period. You will need the model number, serial number (both on the label on the tank or unit), and the installation date. Rheem, A.O. Smith, Bradford White, Navien, and Rinnai all have online portals for this. Keep a photo of the label for your records -- the serial number also encodes the manufacture date, which is useful for future service calls.

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.

Will my water heater freeze if it's in an unheated garage?

Yes, water inside the tank and connected pipes can freeze during a Utah winter if the garage is unheated and temperatures drop below 32°F for extended periods. Insulating the tank with a water heater blanket, insulating the supply and outlet pipes, and adding even minimal heat to the garage (a small space heater on a thermostat) can prevent freezing. Tankless units are especially vulnerable — most have a built-in freeze protection mode but still need pipe insulation at the connections.
