Standard tank style water heaters are big holding tanks which store between 30 and 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to ensure your water will remain nice and hot any time you would like it.
Tank water heaters are normally dependable, though they sometimes have problems. Below are some frequently occurring issues 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 circuit breaker has tripped. The initial thing you should check is the breaker box.
If the fuse box is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacing. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion can progress and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively easy procedure and it could extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but is not rusty is likely caused from scale 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 by bacteria build up in the water heater tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank can be from a number of problems. It could be related to a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, deterioration of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from above 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.
There are several reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube might be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacing.
Weird sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are benign, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you have a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the most recent breed of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank counterparts, cost less to run and generally last longer, but are more expensive initially. They require a lot less space and won't run out of hot water, but initially can require some extra attachments and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.
