Standard tank type water heaters are large storage tanks which store up to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to help make sure your water will continue to be piping hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are generally able to be counted on, however they sometimes have issues. Below are a few commonly occurring problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical cause of no hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The initial thing you should check is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion could eventually progress and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated job and it often extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but not rusty is likely caused by calcification build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is generally caused by bacteria growth in the water heater tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be from a few different problems. It could be related to 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 a few 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 malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacing.
Strange noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly happen 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. The majority of noises are nothing serious, but it's still a wise idea to have it checked.
If you have a sudden 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 type of water heater. They are more power efficient than their tank cousins, are more economical to run and generally have a longer life, but are more costly to purchase. They need much less less space and don't run out of hot water, but upon installation can need some extra attachments and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater uses more gas than a common heating system, and may require wider diameter gas lines. You will want to verify that your existing water piping can support a tankless heater.

Mineral 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 are equipped with a screen that displays an error code when there is an issue. There are a wide range of reasons why an error code may show up.
