Standard tank type water heaters are big holding tanks which store between 30 and 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to ensure your water will continue to be nice and hot any time you would like it.
Tank water heaters are normally able to be counted on, though they sometimes have issues. Below are a few common issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The initial thing one should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might require replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion could eventually progress and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple job and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but isn't rusty could be caused by scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria which has amassed inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be due to a few different problems. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, deterioration of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater might 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 may be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires changing.
Strange 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 sounds are benign, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.
If you have a recent reduction in hot water pressure, it could be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the newest type of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank counterparts, are more economical to run and usually have a longer life, but are more expensive up front. They need a lot 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.
