Standard tank style water heaters are hefty storage tanks which hold from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to ensure your water will continue to be piping hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are normally dependable, though they occasionally have issues. Below are a few commonly occurring problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing one should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could require replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water could be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion can progress and develop a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively easy job and it may extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but does not contain rust is likely caused from calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is generally caused from bacteria growth in the hot water tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be from a few problems. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, deterioration of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from above the water heater may 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 may be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be defective, or the thermocouple needs replacing.
Strange noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a wise idea to have it checked.
If you have a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.

They are more energy efficient than their tank cousins, cost less to run and tend to have a longer lifespan, but are more expensive to purchase.
