Standard tank models of water heaters are large storage tanks which hold 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to help make sure your water will remain nice and hot whenever you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are generally able to be counted on, though they can have issues. Below are a few 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 circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing one should check is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might require replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water could be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion can 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 a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but not rusty is likely caused from calcification build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused from bacteria build up in the water heater.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be from several 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 above the water heater might be from 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 may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires replacement.
Odd noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are benign, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a recent reduction 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 power efficient than their tank cousins, cost less to run and generally have a longer life, but are more costly up front. They demand tremendously less space and do not run out of hot water, but upon installation can require some extra accessories and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater uses more gas than a common heater, and may need wider diameter gas lines. You also should verify that your current water lines can support a tankless heater.

Calcification build up happens a lot and can cause damage to your water heater. Putting in a water softener could slow the build up. Another solution is to have your water heater flushed twice per year with a descaling cleaner.
The majority of tankless water heaters are equipped with a screen that puts out an error code when there is a problem. There are a broad variety of reasons why an error code may appear.
