Standard tank models of water heaters are hefty storage tanks which hold between 30 and 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to ensure your water will stay piping hot whenever you would like it.
Tank water heaters are normally able to be counted on, though they sometimes have issues. Below are some frequently occurring problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common cause of no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may require replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical 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 left unresolved, corrosion could progress and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple procedure and it could extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but does not contain rust is likely caused from scale build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria growth inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be from a number of issues. It could be caused by 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 due to 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 clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be broken, or the thermocouple requires changing.
Weird sounds from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly 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. The majority of sounds are benign, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it could be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the most recent breed of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank cousins, cost less to run and usually have a longer lifespan, but are more expensive up front. They need much less less space and don't run out of hot water, but in the beginning can need some extra equipment and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.
