Standard tank models of water heaters are big holding tanks which hold between 30 and 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to ensure your water will stay nice and hot any time you would like it.
Tank water heaters are generally dependable, however they can have issues. Below are a few commonly occurring issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The initial thing you should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the fuse box is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may be faulty. On a gas water heater, the critical things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion could eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly easy procedure and it may extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but isn't rusty might be caused from hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria growth in the water heater tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be from a few different issues. It could be caused by 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 could be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty 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 broken, or the thermocouple needs changing.
Odd noises 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. The majority of noises are benign, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.
If you have a recent reduction in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the newest type of water heater. They are more power 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 never run out of hot water, but initially can need some extra accessories and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.
