It is not unusual for water heaters to be located in the attic here in Florida. Mine is, as were most of the water heaters in my neighborhood originally. It does cut done on electricity for heating water in the summer, since most attics get hotter during the day than the temperature most water heaters are set for. But, then again, there is less need for hot water in the summer. I usually take cold showers in the summer just to cool off, for example.
