Standard tank type water heaters are big storage tanks which store up to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to help make sure your water will remain piping hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are usually able to be counted on, however they can have problems. Below are some commonly occurring problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing one should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the fuse box is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could require replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated procedure and it could extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but does not contain rust may be caused from scale build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused by bacteria which has amassed in the water heater tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be caused by a number of problems. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, break down 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 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 could be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacement.
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 indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.
If you have a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the most recent type of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank cousins, cost less to run and usually last longer, but are more expensive up front. They demand a lot less space and do not run out of hot water, but at the start can need some extra attachments and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.
