No Hot Water

The most typical reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.

If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacing. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rust colored hot water could be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated job and it may extend the life of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is only discolored, but does not contain rust may be caused by scale build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria which has amassed inside the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank can be from a few 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

Water leaking from the top of the water heater might be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Issues

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 may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires changing.

Strange Noises

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

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you experience a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters are the newest type of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank cousins, cost less to run and generally have a longer lifespan, but are more expensive up front. They need a lot less space and do not run out of hot water, but at the start can need some extra attachments and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

Common Tankless Water Heater Problems

No Hot Water

One of the most frequent complaints in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This could be related to a number of things including a gas, electricity, or water supply issue, ignition failure, an error code in the machine, a blocked 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 put in could slow the build up. An additional solution is to have your water heater flushed every six months with a descaling cleaner.

Error Codes

The majority of tankless water heaters have a screen which displays an error code when there is an issue. There are a broad variety of reasons why an error code may show up.
