Standard tank models of water heaters are big holding tanks which contain from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to ensure your water will stay nice and hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are quite dependable, though they can have issues. Below are some frequently occurring problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The initial thing you should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the fuse box is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check 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. 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 may be due to calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused from bacteria growth inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank can be due to a number of problems. It could be related to a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion 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 might be clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacing.
Weird 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 lower portion of the water heater tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a recent reduction in hot water pressure, it could 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, cost less to run and tend to have a longer lifespan, but are more costly to purchase. They demand tremendously less space and won't run out of hot water, but in the beginning can need some extra apparatus and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater uses more gas than a typical heater, and may need the installation of bigger gas lines. You will also need to verify that your current water piping can support a tankless heater.
One of the most common issues in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This could be due to a number of issues including a gas, electricity, or water supply issue, ignition failure, an error code in the unit, a obstructed pipe, or frozen pipe.
Mineral build up happens frequently and can cause damage to your water heater. Installing a water softener could slow the build up. Another possible solution is to have your water heater flushed twice per year with a descaling cleaner.
Most tankless water heaters have a screen that displays an error code when there is a problem. There are a wide variety of reasons why an error code may show up.
