Standard tank style water heaters are large holding tanks which contain between 30 and 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to help make sure your water will remain piping hot whenever you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are quite dependable, though they sometimes have issues. Below are a few common issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The initial thing you should check is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might require replacement. On a gas water heater, the key things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion could eventually progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively easy procedure and it often extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but does not contain rust is likely caused by calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is generally caused from bacteria growth in the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank can be from a few different issues. It could be related to 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 due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 might be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be defective, or the thermocouple needs changing.
Strange sounds from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.
If you experience a recent drop in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the most recent type of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank cousins, are more cost efficient to run and tend to have a longer lifespan, but are more expensive to purchase. They need much less less space and do not run out of hot water, but upon installation can require some extra accessories 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 bigger gas pipes. You also should verify that your existing water lines can support a tankless heater.
One of the most frequent problems in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This might be caused by a number of things including a gas, electricity, or water supply problem, ignition failure, an error code in the unit, a obstructed pipe, or frozen pipe.
Calcification build up happens a lot and can cause damage to your water heater. Having a water softener installed could slow the build up. Another possible solution is to have your water heater flushed twice per year with a descaler.
The majority of tankless water heaters are equipped with a screen which puts out an error code when there is a problem. There are a broad range of reasons why an error code may display.
