Standard tank style water heaters are big storage tanks which store up to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to ensure your water will remain nice and hot any time you would like it.
Tank water heaters are normally able to be counted on, however they sometimes have problems. Below are some commonly occurring issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacement. On a gas water heater, the key things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty 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 develop a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly simple job and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but does not contain rust is likely due to calcification build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused from bacteria growth inside the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be due to several different problems. 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 from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 might be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires changing.
Strange noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.
If you experience a recent reduction in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the most recent type of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank cousins, cost less to run and tend to have a longer life, but are more costly up front. They require a lot less space and won't run out of hot water, but in the beginning can need some extra accessories and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater uses more gas than a typical heater, and may need the installation of wider diameter gas lines. You also should make sure that your existing water lines can accommodate a tankless heater.
One of the most frequent complaints in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This may be caused by a variety of things including a gas, electricity, or water supply problem, ignition failure, an error code in the machine, a blocked pipe, or frozen pipe.
Mineral build up happens frequently and can cause damage to your water heater. Installing a water softener could slow the build up. An additional solution is to have your water heater flushed twice a year with a descaling cleaner.
Most tankless water heaters have a screen which puts out an error code when there is an issue. There are a broad range of reasons why an error code may appear.
