Standard tank models of water heaters are large holding tanks which store 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to help make sure your water will continue to be nice and hot any time you would like it.
Tank water heaters are quite dependable, though they can have issues. Below are a few frequently occurring issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The first thing one should check is the breaker box.
If the fuse box is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could be faulty. On a gas water heater, the key things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively easy process and it often extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but not rusty may be caused by hard water 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 which has amassed inside the water heater tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be caused by several different 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 the top of 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 a few reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube could be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacement.
Odd noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are benign, but it's still a wise idea to have it checked.
If you experience a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it might be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the most recent type of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank counterparts, are more economical to run and generally have a longer life, but are more costly up front. They demand much less 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.
