Standard tank type water heaters are large holding tanks which house between 30 and 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to ensure your water will remain nice and hot whenever you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are normally able to be counted on, though they sometimes have issues. Below are a few frequently occurring issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The initial thing one should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacing. On a gas water heater, the critical things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion could eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly simple job and it often extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but not rusty may be due to hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused by bacteria build up in the hot water tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be from a few issues. 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 from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning 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 clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs changing.
Weird noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are benign, but it's still a wise idea to have it checked.
If you experience a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the most recent breed of water heater. They are more power efficient than their tank cousins, cost less to run and usually have a longer lifespan, but are more costly to purchase.
