Standard tank type water heaters are big storage tanks which house up to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to ensure your water will continue to be nice and hot any time you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are generally dependable, though they occasionally have problems. Below are some common 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 blown circuit breaker. The first thing one should check is the breaker box.
If the fuse box is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may be faulty. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion could eventually progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple procedure and it may extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but isn't rusty may be caused by calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused by bacteria build up inside the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank could 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 above the water heater could be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty 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 clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be defective, or the thermocouple requires changing.
Strange noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly take place 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 sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.
If you have a recent reduction in hot water pressure, it might be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the newest breed of water heater. They are more power efficient than their tank counterparts, are more cost efficient to run and usually last longer, but are more expensive initially. They need much less less space and won't run out of hot water, but initially can need some extra equipment and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater needs more gas than a common heating system, and may need the installation of bigger gas pipes. You will want to make sure that your current water lines can accommodate a tankless heater.
One of the most frequent problems in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This could be due 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.
Calcification build up happens frequently and can cause damage to your water heater. Having a water softener installed could slow the build up. An additional possible solution is to have your water heater flushed every six months with a descaler.
Most tankless water heaters have a screen which displays an error code when there is a problem. There are a wide range of reasons why an error code may show up.
