Standard tank models of water heaters are large holding tanks which hold from 30 to 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 quite dependable, though they sometimes have problems. Below are a few commonly occurring issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The initial thing you should check is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacing. On a gas water heater, the key things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water could be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion could eventually progress and develop a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively easy process and it often extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but not rusty might be due to calcification 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 which has amassed in the water heater tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be caused by a number of problems. 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 above the water heater could be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 could be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires changing.
Odd noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a wise idea to have it checked.
If you have a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the most recent breed of water heater. They are more power efficient than their tank cousins, are more cost efficient to run and usually last longer, but are more expensive up front. They require tremendously less space and don't run out of hot water, but in the beginning can need some extra accessories 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 larger gas lines. You will also need to verify that your current water pipes can accommodate a tankless heater.
