No Hot Water

The most common reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. 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 might require replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rust colored hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion could eventually progress and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated procedure and it could extend the life of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is only discolored, but not rusty is likely caused from hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria which has amassed inside the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be caused by a number of problems. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, break down of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.

Water Leaking from the Top

Water leaking from the top of the water heater could be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Problems

There are several reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube might be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be defective, or the thermocouple requires changing.

Strange Sounds

Odd sounds from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently take place 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 sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you have a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it might be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.

Common Tankless Water Heater Problems

No Hot Water

One of the most common issues in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This may be due to a number of things including a gas, electricity, or water supply problem, ignition failure, an error code in the unit, a blocked pipe, or frozen pipe.

Mineral Build Up

Mineral build up happens a lot and can cause damage to your water heater. Having a water softener installed could slow the build up. An additional possible solution is to have your water heater flushed twice per year with a descaling cleaner.

Error Codes
