I've only moved into one brand new home. A couple weeks in, the hot water heater stopped. You could fire it up then it would immediately shut down. The gas company was called, the guy couldn't get it figured out, so he called in a specialist, and together they worked on it for about 3 hours before they discovered a piece of wood stuck in the exhaust. It must have shifted and that's why the gas shut down (as designed to prevent CO poisoning).
