Standard tank models of water heaters are large holding tanks which house 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to help make sure your water will remain nice and hot whenever you would like it.
Tank water heaters are usually able to be counted on, however they sometimes have issues. Below are some frequently occurring issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing one should check is the breaker box.
If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might be faulty. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion will eventually progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly simple job and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but not rusty might be due to calcification build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused from bacteria build up inside the water heater tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be from a number of issues. It could be caused by 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 of the water heater could be due to 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 might be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be broken, or the thermocouple needs replacing.
Strange noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.
If you experience a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the newest breed of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank cousins, cost less to run and tend to last longer, but are more expensive to purchase. They demand a lot less space and don't run out of hot water, but upon installation can need some extra attachments and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.
