Standard tank models of water heaters are big holding tanks which store 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to help make sure your water will stay nice and hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are generally able to be counted on, though they occasionally have problems. Below are a few frequently occurring issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical cause of no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing one should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the fuse box is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could require replacement. On a gas water heater, the key 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 can cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple job and it could extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but is not rusty might be caused from hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused by bacteria growth inside the water heater.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be caused by a few issues. It could be caused by 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 might be from 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 might be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be broken, or the thermocouple needs replacement.
Strange sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of noises are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a recent reduction in hot water pressure, it may 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 energy efficient than their tank counterparts, are more cost efficient to run and usually have a longer life, but are more costly up front. They demand a lot less space and don't run out of hot water, but in the beginning can require some extra equipment and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.
