Standard tank type water heaters are large storage tanks which contain 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to ensure your water will remain piping hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are normally able to be counted on, though they occasionally have issues. These are a few frequently occurring problems that affect standard tank style 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 you should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the circuit breaker is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could be faulty. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion can cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively simple process and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but does not contain rust could be caused by hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused by bacteria build up in the water heater tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be from a number of 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 could be due to 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 blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be broken, or the thermocouple needs changing.
Odd noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly 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. Most sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.
If you experience 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 energy efficient than their tank cousins, are more cost efficient to run and generally last longer, but are more expensive up front. They need much less less space and won't run out of hot water, but upon installation can need some extra apparatus and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater utilizes more gas than a typical heater, and may require the installation of wider diameter gas lines. You also should verify that your existing water pipes can accommodate a tankless heater.
One of the most common problems in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This could be due to a number of things including a gas, electricity, or water supply problem, ignition failure, an error code in the machine, a clogged pipe, or frozen pipe.
Calcification build up happens frequently and can cause damage to your water heater. Putting in a water softener could slow the build up. Another possible solution is to have your water heater flushed twice a year with a descaler.
Most tankless water heaters are equipped with a screen that puts out an error code when there is a problem. There are a broad range of reasons why an error code may display.
