Standard tank models of water heaters are big holding tanks which store between 30 and 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to ensure your water will continue to be piping hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are quite dependable, however they can have issues. Below are some frequently occurring issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical cause of no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The initial thing you should check is the breaker box.
If the circuit breaker is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion can cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated job and it may extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but isn't rusty might be due to hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused by bacteria growth inside the water heater tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank can be due to 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 the top of the water heater could be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.
There are a few reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube could be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires replacing.
Strange noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the most recent type of water heater. They are more power efficient than their tank cousins, are more economical to run and tend to have a longer lifespan, but are more expensive up front. They require a lot less space and never run out of hot water, but in the beginning can require some extra gadgets and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.
