Standard tank models of water heaters are big storage tanks which house 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to help make sure your water will remain nice and hot any time you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are normally dependable, though they sometimes have problems. These are some commonly occurring 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 first thing you should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the circuit breaker is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated process and it could extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but isn't rusty is likely caused from calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is generally caused from bacteria growth in the water heater tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be from a number of issues. It could be related to 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 malfunctioning 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 could be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacement.
Odd noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing serious, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a recent drop in hot water pressure, it could be caused by sediment 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, are more economical to run and usually last longer, but are more expensive to purchase.

A tankless water heater needs more gas than a typical heater, and may require the installation of larger gas pipes. You will want to make sure that your existing water lines can support a tankless heater.
One of the most commonly occurring complaints in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This may be due to a variety of things including a gas, electricity, or water supply issue, ignition failure, an error code in the machine, a blocked pipe, or frozen pipe.
Calcification build up happens a lot and can cause damage to your water heater. Having a water softener installed could slow the build up. An additional possible solution is to have your water heater flushed every six months with a descaler.
Most tankless water heaters have a screen which puts out an error code when there is a problem. There are a broad range of reasons why an error code may show up.
