Standard tank models of water heaters are large holding tanks which contain up to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to ensure your water will remain nice and hot whenever you would like it.
Tank water heaters are normally able to be counted on, though they can have problems. These are a few frequently 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 fuse has tripped. The first thing one should check is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might require replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical 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 will eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively easy process and it may extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but isn't rusty is likely due to scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria which has amassed inside the water heater tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be due to several different problems. It could be from 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 may 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 might be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be broken, or the thermocouple requires replacing.
Odd noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.
If you experience a recent reduction in hot water pressure, it might be caused by calcium deposits 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, cost less to run and usually have a longer lifespan, but are more costly up front. They need a lot less space and never run out of hot water, but in the beginning can require some extra gadgets and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.
