Standard tank type water heaters are big holding tanks which house from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to help make sure your water will stay piping hot any time you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are quite able to be counted on, however they occasionally have problems. Below are some frequently occurring problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The initial thing you should check is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may require replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water could be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion could eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple process and it could extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but does not contain rust is likely caused by calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused from bacteria growth inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be caused by a number of issues. It could be related to a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater could be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty 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 may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be defective, or the thermocouple requires changing.
Odd sounds from your 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 indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.
If you experience a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the newest type of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank cousins, cost less to run and usually last longer, but are more costly up front. They require much less less space and don't 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 needs more gas than a typical heating system, and may need bigger gas pipes. You should make sure that your existing water piping can accommodate a tankless heater.

Mineral build up happens frequently and can cause damage to your water heater. Having a water softener put in could slow the build up. An additional possible solution is to have your water heater flushed twice a year with a descaler.
Most tankless water heaters are equipped with a screen that displays an error code when there is an issue. There are a wide variety of reasons why an error code may appear.
