Standard tank models of water heaters are large storage tanks which hold from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to ensure your water will stay piping hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are usually able to be counted on, though they can have issues. Below are some common issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. 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 may need replacing. On a gas water heater, the key things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion could progress and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated procedure and it often extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but is not rusty is likely caused from calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is generally caused from bacteria growth inside the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be due to a number of problems. It could be caused by 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 may 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 might be clogged, there may 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 occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of noises are benign, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.
If you experience a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it may be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the newest type of water heater. They are more power efficient than their tank counterparts, cost less to run and tend to have a longer lifespan, but are more costly up front. They need tremendously less space and won't run out of hot water, but upon installation can require some extra attachments and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater utilizes more gas than a typical heating system, and may need the installation of wider diameter gas piping. You should verify that your current water piping can accommodate a tankless heater.
One of the most common problems in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This might be due to a number of things including a gas, electricity, or water supply problem, ignition failure, an error code in the unit, a clogged pipe, or frozen pipe.
Mineral build up happens frequently and can cause damage to your water heater. Putting in a water softener could slow the build up. An additional possible solution is to have your water heater flushed twice per year with a descaling cleaner.
Most tankless water heaters are equipped with a screen which displays an error code when there is a problem. There are a wide range of reasons why an error code may appear.
