Standard tank models of water heaters are large holding tanks which house from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to ensure your water will stay nice and hot whenever you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are usually able to be counted on, however they can have issues. 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 circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing one should check 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 be faulty. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion will eventually progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively simple job and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but isn't rusty might be caused by 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 in the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be due to a few different problems. It could be related to 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 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 a few reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube may be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacement.
Strange sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing serious, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.
If you have a sudden drop 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 cousins, cost less to run and generally have a longer life, but are more expensive initially. They demand a lot less space and won't run out of hot water, but in the beginning can require some extra apparatus and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater utilizes more gas than a typical heater, and may require the installation of wider diameter gas pipes. You will want to verify that your current water piping can support a tankless heater.
One of the most common problems in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This might be related to a number of things including a gas, electricity, or water supply problem, ignition failure, an error code in the unit, a obstructed pipe, or frozen pipe.
Sediment build up happens frequently and can cause damage to your water heater. Putting in a water softener could slow the build up. Another solution is to have your water heater flushed every six months with a descaler.
The majority of tankless water heaters are equipped with a screen that puts out an error code when there is a problem. There are a wide range of reasons why an error code may display.
