No Hot Water

The most frequent cause of no hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The first thing one 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 be faulty. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion could eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly simple process and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is only discolored, but not rusty could be due to hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused from bacteria which has amassed in the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank can be caused by a few different issues. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, deterioration of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.

Water Leaking from the Top

Water leaking from above the water heater might be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Issues

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

Strange Noises

Odd noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are benign, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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

They need a lot less space and do not run out of hot water, but at the start can need some extra apparatus and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

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 caused by a number of issues including a gas, electricity, or water supply issue, ignition failure, an error code in the machine, a obstructed 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 a year with a descaler.

Error Codes

The majority of tankless water heaters are equipped with a screen which displays an error code when there is a problem. There are a broad range of reasons why an error code may appear.
