Standard tank models of water heaters are big holding tanks which house up to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to help make sure your water will stay piping hot whenever you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are generally dependable, however they occasionally have issues. Below are a few common problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The first thing one should check is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might need replacing. On a gas water heater, the important things to check 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 left unresolved, corrosion could progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated job and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but isn't rusty is likely caused by calcification build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is generally caused by bacteria growth inside the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be caused by several different issues. It could be caused by a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from above the water heater might be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 changing.
Odd sounds 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. The majority of sounds are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.
If you have a recent drop in hot water pressure, it might be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.

They are more power efficient than their tank cousins, are more cost efficient to run and tend to have a longer life, but are more expensive up front.
