No Hot Water

The most frequent cause of no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing one should check is the fuse 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.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion could progress and result in a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly easy process and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is simply discolored, but does not contain rust is likely caused by calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria build up inside the water heater tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank might be due to a few different problems. It could be related to a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion 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 caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Issues

There are a few reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube could be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be broken, or the thermocouple requires changing.

Strange Sounds

Odd sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you have a sudden reduction 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 cousins, cost less to run and tend to have a longer life, but are more expensive initially. They demand a lot less space and don't run out of hot water, but upon installation can require some extra attachments and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater uses more gas than a common heating system, and may require the installation of larger gas pipes. You will also need to make sure that your current water pipes can accommodate a tankless heater.

Common Tankless Water Heater Issues

No Hot Water

One of the most common problems in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This may be related to a number of things including a gas, electricity, or water supply problem, ignition failure, an error code in the machine, a obstructed pipe, or frozen pipe.

Mineral Build Up

Sediment build up happens frequently and can cause damage to your water heater. Having a water softener put in could slow the build up. Another possible solution is to have your water heater flushed twice per year with a descaling cleaner.

Error Codes

Most tankless water heaters have a screen which puts out an error code when there is a problem. There are a wide variety of reasons why an error code may appear.
