Our house is 6 years old and has them in the attic. We did not build it.

When you buy your first home, you don't know to watch out for this kind of dumb builder crap.

Why do you need to heat hot water?

Pressure is better when they are higher.

When the pressure relief valve falls and your tank becomes a projectile, do you want it to go through the roof or through an occupied room?

If the water was HOT you wouldn't need a heater.

I’ve had my two tankless water heaters for 14 years. Noritz

Surprised people still put tanks in new homes.

Why do you have to heat water that’s already hot?

My water heater is in the basement.
It shite the bed and leaked out a couple of years ago.
It took me a couple of hours to vacuum up the water, and I was actually happy to do it bc I just kept thinking about what a mess it would've been if it was in the attic.

Mine is literally outside and no issues. Idk how hot water freezes? But you have to keep water moving through your heater just like you have to keep the rest of your water moving.

I had never heard of water heaters in the attic until Texas got hammered with that cold blast a year or two ago,

Still boggles my mind.

Putting a hot water heater upstairs or in the attic should be against the law/building code. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.
