Have had that issue in a couple of homes. It seems to come from lack of use. Once water has been used regularly or every faucet turned and letting water run for quite awhile seems to take care of the problem. Usually takes two weeks to a month of good, daily usage to solve the issue. It really doesn't seem to matter if hot or cold water, so I don't think the water heater is the cause.
