Continue reading to catch up on all the warnings associated with FVIR gas water heaters, and the complications that have risen for homeowners all across the nation.

FVIR Gas Water Heater Problems

Many master plumbers and water heater contractors have seen countless problems, troubles, and complications with FVIR gas water heaters. You can trust that their expert and educated opinions regarding these hot water heaters are accurate and reliable.

Here’s what they have found:

Many brands of FVIR water heaters come with a lint filter. If this lint filter is not manually cleaned quarterly, by the owner, then the warranty is completely void. They usually do not tell you this at the time of purchase. Instead, homeowners have had to learn this lesson the hard way; unexpectedly.

Also, several FVIR brand hot water heaters have Class Action Lawsuits against them! They have more than 1,500 consumer complaints regarding the complications and shaky warranties they come with.

For those who already purchased an FVIR gas water heater, and cannot return it for a refund or trade out, it is highly recommended to at least install it in a catch pan. This prevents a load of leakage problems and more.

Also, it is strongly suggested to install a T&P valve (Thermal Expansion Tank and Pressure Valve) for properties with a closed-loop system and high water pressure. This can cost anywhere between $400 and $800, depending on the level of difficulty and time required.

Most warranties that come with FVIR water heaters are shaky at best. Their labor warranties are terrible and most consumers are forced to pay for part replacements, repairs, and more, out of pocket.
