    Condensation on top of water heater
    I recently had a Rheem PowerVent hot water heater installed. I have noticed water or condensation occasionally on top of the heater under the powervent. Is this normal?

    It could be normal depending upon the humidity level in the home.

    Since you just had the heater installed the work is under warranty. Call the company that did the work and have them look at it.
