Standard tank models of water heaters are big storage tanks which house from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to help make sure your water will continue to be nice and hot any time you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are generally able to be counted on, however they occasionally have problems. Below are some frequently occurring problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The initial 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 need replacing. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion could eventually progress and develop a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively easy procedure and it could extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but does not contain rust may be due to hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria growth inside the water heater tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be caused by several different problems. It could be caused by 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 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 a few 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 defective, or the thermocouple needs replacing.
Weird sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you have a recent reduction in hot water pressure, it could 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 power efficient than their tank cousins, are more economical to run and tend to have a longer life, but are more costly up front. They require tremendously less space and won't run out of hot water, but upon installation can require some extra apparatus and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.
Our skilled plumbers can help with putting in a new tankless water heater system or switching out and existing system. It's important find a pro who knows all local plumbing codes for Powhatan, VA
A tankless water heater needs more gas than a common heater, and may need the installation of larger gas piping. You will also need to make sure that your current water pipes can support a tankless heater.
One of the most commonly occurring problems in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This may be caused by a number of issues including a gas, electricity, or water supply issue, ignition failure, an error code in the unit, a blocked pipe, or frozen pipe.
Sediment build up happens a lot and can cause damage to your water heater. Putting in a water softener could slow the build up. An additional possible solution is to have your water heater flushed twice a year with a descaler.
The majority of tankless water heaters are equipped with a screen which puts out an error code when there is a problem. There are a broad variety of reasons why an error code may display.
