Standard tank type water heaters are big holding tanks which contain from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to ensure your water will continue to be piping hot whenever you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are normally dependable, though they sometimes have problems. Below are some commonly occurring issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The initial thing you should check 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 require replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion could cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple job and it could extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but does not contain rust could 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 generally is caused by bacteria growth inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be due to several different 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 the top of the water heater could be due to 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 may be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be defective, or the thermocouple needs replacement.
Weird noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion 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 smart idea to have it checked.
If you experience a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it could be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the newest type of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank counterparts, are more economical to run and usually last longer, but are more expensive to purchase. They require much less less space and do not run out of hot water, but in the beginning can require some extra attachments 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 make sure that your current water pipes can support a tankless heater.
One of the most commonly occurring complaints in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This might be caused by 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.
Calcification build up happens frequently and can cause damage to your water heater. Having a water softener installed could slow the build up. An additional solution is to have your water heater flushed twice per year with a descaler.
The majority of tankless water heaters are equipped with a screen that displays an error code when there is a problem. There are a broad range of reasons why an error code may appear.
