Standard tank type water heaters are hefty holding tanks which house between 30 and 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to ensure your water will remain nice and hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are generally able to be counted on, though they sometimes have problems. Below are a few commonly occurring issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is 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 might require replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion could progress and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly easy process and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but not rusty is likely due to scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused by bacteria which has amassed in the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be caused by a few different problems. It could be from 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 may 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 may be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be broken, or the thermocouple requires replacement.
Strange sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are benign, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.
If you have a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium deposits 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 generally have a longer life, but are more costly to purchase. They require much less less space and never run out of hot water, but at the start can need 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 larger gas pipes. You will want to verify that your current water pipes can accommodate a tankless heater.
