Standard tank models of water heaters are big holding tanks which house from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to help make sure your water will stay piping hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are usually able to be counted on, though they can have issues. Below are some commonly occurring problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The initial thing one should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the fuse box is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacing. On a gas water heater, the key things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water could be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion could eventually progress and result in a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple process and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but is not rusty could be due to calcification build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria growth inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank might be due to a number of issues. It could be caused by 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 may be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning 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 could be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs changing.
Odd 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 tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing serious, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.
If you experience a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium build up 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 tend to have a longer life, but are more expensive to purchase. They demand tremendously less space and don't run out of hot water, but in the beginning can need some extra attachments and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.
