Standard tank style water heaters are big holding tanks which hold up to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to help make sure your water will remain piping hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are quite able to be counted on, though they occasionally have issues. These are some common problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The initial thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to check 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 can cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated procedure and it may extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but not rusty may be caused by scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria growth in the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be from several different 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 from 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 might be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be broken, or the thermocouple requires replacement.
Weird noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it might be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.

A tankless water heater needs more gas than a typical heater, and may require the installation of wider diameter gas pipes. You also should verify that your existing water piping can support a tankless heater.
One of the most common problems in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This could be due to a variety of things including a gas, electricity, or water supply problem, ignition failure, an error code in the machine, a blocked pipe, or frozen pipe.
Calcification build up happens frequently and can cause damage to your water heater. Having a water softener put in could slow the build up. An additional possible solution is to have your water heater flushed every six months with a descaling cleaner.
The majority of tankless water heaters are equipped with a screen that displays an error code when there is an issue. There are a wide range of reasons why an error code may appear.
