Standard tank type water heaters are large storage tanks which house 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to help make sure your water will continue to be nice and hot any time you would like it.
Tank water heaters are usually dependable, though they sometimes have problems. Below are a few common problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical cause of no hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The initial thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacing. On a gas water heater, the critical 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 this is not treated, corrosion will eventually progress and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated job and it often extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but does not contain rust could be caused by hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused from bacteria which has amassed in the water heater tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be due to several different problems. It could be caused by a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, deterioration of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater may be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 may be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires replacement.
Strange noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.
If you have a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it may be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the newest 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 initially. They require much less less space and do not run out of hot water, but in the beginning can require some extra equipment and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater utilizes more gas than a typical heating system, and may need bigger gas piping. You will also need to verify that your existing water lines can support a tankless heater.

Sediment build up happens frequently and can cause damage to your water heater. Having a water softener put in 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 have a screen which displays an error code when there is an issue. There are a wide range of reasons why an error code may appear.
