Standard tank type water heaters are large storage tanks which contain from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to ensure your water will stay nice and hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are generally able to be counted on, though they can have problems. Below are some common issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common cause of no hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing you should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the circuit breaker is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might need replacing. On a gas water heater, the key 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 left untreated, corrosion will eventually progress and result in 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 just discolored, but does not contain rust is likely caused from calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused from bacteria build up in the water heater tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank might be due to a number of problems. It could be from 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 could 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 blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacing.
Strange sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly happen 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 nothing to worry about, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.
If you have a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it may be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the most recent type of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank counterparts, are more cost efficient to run and generally have a longer life, but are more costly to purchase. They need tremendously less space and never run out of hot water, but initially 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 typical heating system, and may need the installation of bigger gas piping. You also should verify that your current water piping can support a tankless heater.
One of the most commonly occurring problems in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This could be due to a number of issues including a gas, electricity, or water supply issue, ignition failure, an error code in the machine, a blocked pipe, or frozen pipe.
Sediment build up happens a lot and can cause damage to your water heater. Having a water softener installed could slow the build up. An additional possible solution is to have your water heater flushed every six months with a descaler.
Most tankless water heaters have a screen which puts out an error code when there is an issue. There are a wide variety of reasons why an error code may show up.
