Standard tank style water heaters are hefty holding tanks which hold from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to ensure your water will remain nice and hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are normally dependable, though they can have issues. Below are a few common problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing one should evaluate 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 need replacing. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion could eventually progress and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple procedure and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but does not contain rust is likely caused from hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused from bacteria which has amassed inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank might be caused by several different issues. It could be caused by a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater might be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 needs changing.
Strange sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly take place 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 good idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the most recent breed of water heater. They are more power efficient than their tank cousins, are more cost efficient to run and generally last longer, but are more expensive initially. They need much less less space and never run out of hot water, but initially can need some extra accessories and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater utilizes more gas than a typical heating system, and may require the installation of larger gas pipes. You also should verify that your existing water pipes can support a tankless heater.
One of the most commonly occurring issues in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This may be related to a number of things including a gas, electricity, or water supply problem, ignition failure, an error code in the machine, a clogged pipe, or frozen pipe.
Sediment build up happens frequently and can cause damage to your water heater. Having a water softener put in could slow the build up. An additional solution is to have your water heater flushed twice per year with a descaling cleaner.
Most tankless water heaters have a screen which puts out an error code when there is a problem. There are a wide range of reasons why an error code may display.
