Standard tank type water heaters are hefty holding tanks which hold up to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to ensure your water will stay nice and hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are usually dependable, though they occasionally 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 initial thing you should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the circuit breaker is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to look at 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 this remains untreated, corrosion can progress and result in a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively easy job and it often extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but not rusty might be caused by hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused from bacteria growth in the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be from a few 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 above the water heater could 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 could be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be broken, or the thermocouple needs changing.
Weird sounds from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank. Hissing could indicate 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 experience a recent reduction in hot water pressure, it could 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 power efficient than their tank cousins, cost less 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 in the beginning can need some extra apparatus and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater utilizes more gas than a typical heater, and may need wider diameter gas piping. You also should verify that your current water lines can support a tankless heater.
One of the most common issues in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This could be related to a variety of things including a gas, electricity, or water supply issue, ignition failure, an error code in the machine, a blocked pipe, or frozen pipe.
Sediment build up happens a lot and can cause damage to your water heater. Having a water softener installed could slow the build up. An additional possible solution is to have your water heater flushed every six months with a descaling cleaner.
The majority of tankless water heaters are equipped with a screen which puts out an error code when there is an issue. There are a wide variety of reasons why an error code may show up.
