Standard tank type water heaters are big holding tanks which hold from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to help make sure your water will continue to be piping hot any time you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are quite dependable, though they occasionally have issues. These are a few commonly occurring issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical cause of no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion could cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly easy process and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but isn't rusty may be caused from scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is generally caused by bacteria which has amassed in the hot water tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank might be caused by several different problems. It could be caused by a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from above the water heater might be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.
There are several reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube could be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be defective, or the thermocouple requires changing.
Odd noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of noises are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the newest breed of water heater. They are more power efficient than their tank cousins, are more cost efficient to run and generally last longer, but are more expensive to purchase. They demand tremendously less space and never run out of hot water, but initially can require some extra equipment and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater uses more gas than a common heater, and may need the installation of larger gas lines. You will also need to make sure that your current water pipes can accommodate a tankless heater.
One of the most common complaints in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This may be caused by a variety of things including a gas, electricity, or water supply issue, ignition failure, an error code in the unit, a blocked pipe, or frozen pipe.
Calcification build up happens a lot and can cause damage to your water heater. Putting in a water softener could slow the build up. An additional solution is to have your water heater flushed twice per year with a descaler.
Most tankless water heaters have a screen which displays an error code when there is a problem. There are a broad range of reasons why an error code may appear.
