Standard tank style water heaters are big storage tanks which contain 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to ensure your water will remain nice and hot any time you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are normally dependable, though they sometimes have problems. Below are a few commonly occurring problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first 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 check 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 left untreated, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively easy job and it may extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but not rusty could be caused from calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is generally caused from bacteria growth inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be caused by several different 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 of the water heater might be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning 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 could be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires replacement.
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 bottom of the water heater. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it might 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 counterparts, are more economical to run and usually have a longer lifespan, but are more expensive up front. They need tremendously less space and won't run out of hot water, but at the start can require some extra apparatus and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.
