Standard tank models of water heaters are large holding tanks which store up to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to ensure your water will remain nice and hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are usually dependable, though they sometimes have issues. Below are some commonly occurring issues 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 fuse. The first thing one should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could be faulty. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion could eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly simple procedure and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but not rusty is likely caused by hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused by bacteria growth in the water heater.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be due to a few different issues. It could be from 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 may 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 could be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be defective, or the thermocouple requires changing.
Odd sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently 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 nothing to worry about, but it's still a wise idea to have it checked.
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 energy efficient than their tank cousins, are more economical to run and tend to have a longer lifespan, but are more expensive up front. They require much less less space and won't run out of hot water, but upon installation can need some extra equipment and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.
