Standard tank style water heaters are big storage tanks which hold up to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to ensure your water will remain piping hot whenever you would like it.
Tank water heaters are quite able to be counted on, however they occasionally have issues. Below are some common issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most common cause of no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The initial thing you should check is the breaker box.
If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may be faulty. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion will eventually progress and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively easy job and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but is not rusty is likely caused from scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused from bacteria growth inside the water heater tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be caused by a few different problems. 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 the top of the water heater might be caused by 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 blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires replacement.
Weird sounds from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.
If you have a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it might be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the newest breed of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank cousins, are more cost efficient to run and generally have a longer lifespan, but are more expensive initially. They demand much less less space and won't run out of hot water, but in the beginning can need some extra apparatus and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.
