Standard tank models of water heaters are large holding tanks which store up to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to help make sure your water will remain nice and hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are usually able to be counted on, though they occasionally have problems. Below are a few common issues 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 fuse has tripped. The initial 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 be faulty. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion could cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated job and it could extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but isn't rusty may be caused by scale build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria build up inside the water heater.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank might be due to a few 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 may be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.
There are a few reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube may be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacement.
Strange noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly happen 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 sounds are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.
If you have a recent reduction in hot water pressure, it might be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.

They are more power efficient than their tank cousins, are more economical to run and generally have a longer lifespan, but are more costly up front.
