Standard tank style water heaters are large storage tanks which store up to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to ensure your water will stay piping hot any time you would like it.
Tank water heaters are quite able to be counted on, though they sometimes have problems. These are a few frequently occurring issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing one should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the circuit breaker is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might require replacement. On a gas water heater, the key things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion could eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple process and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but not rusty might be caused by hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria build up inside the water heater tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be due to a number of issues. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion 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 blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs changing.
Weird sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing serious, but it's still a wise idea to have it checked.
If you have a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it may be caused by sediment 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 generally have a longer life, but are more expensive initially. They require tremendously less space and won't run out of hot water, but in the beginning can require some extra apparatus 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 bigger gas lines. You will want to verify that your current water lines can accommodate a tankless heater.

Sediment build up happens a lot and can cause damage to your water heater. Having a water softener installed could slow the build up. An additional solution is to have your water heater flushed twice a year with a descaler.
