Standard tank models of water heaters are big storage tanks which hold up to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to ensure your water will continue to be nice and hot any time you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are usually able to be counted on, though they can have problems. Below are a few commonly occurring problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The initial thing you should check is the breaker box.
If the fuse box is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacing. On a gas water heater, the critical things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion could progress and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly simple process and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but does not contain rust could be caused by scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused from bacteria which has amassed in the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be caused by a few problems. It could be related to a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, break down of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater may be caused by 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 blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacing.
Weird noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are benign, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it might be caused by calcium build up 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 tend to last longer, but are more costly to purchase. They demand much less less space and never run out of hot water, but at the start can need some extra apparatus and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.
