Standard tank models of water heaters are big storage tanks which hold from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to ensure your water will remain piping hot whenever you would like it.
Tank water heaters are quite able to be counted on, though they can have issues. These are some commonly occurring problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The initial thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker 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 look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion could progress and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated process and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but not rusty may be due to scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused by bacteria growth in the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be caused by a number of issues. It could be related to 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 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 several reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube could be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacement.
Strange noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are benign, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the newest breed of water heater. They are more power efficient than their tank counterparts, are more economical to run and usually have a longer lifespan, but are more costly to purchase. They demand much less less space and do not 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 needs more gas than a typical heating system, and may need the installation of wider diameter gas pipes. You should verify that your existing water piping can support a tankless heater.
One of the most frequent complaints in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This may be due to a number of issues 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 a lot and can cause damage to your water heater. Having a water softener installed could slow the build up. Another possible solution is to have your water heater flushed twice per year with a descaler.
Most tankless water heaters have a screen which displays an error code when there is an issue. There are a broad range of reasons why an error code may appear.
