A:  Make sure that in case of freezing weather that the water heater and its water lines are protected to prevent freezing. Damage due to freezing is not covered by the warranty. Loss of freeze protection may result in water damage from a burst heat exchanger or water lines. With electrical power and gas supplied, the water heater will not freeze when the outside air temperature is as cold as –22°F (-30°C) for indoor models or is as cold as –4°F (-20°C) for outdoor models, when protected from direct wind exposure. Because of the “wind-chill” effect, any wind or circulation of the air on the unit will reduce its ability to freeze protect. --Tashay
