Standard tank style water heaters are large holding tanks which contain up to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to help make sure your water will stay nice and hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are generally able to be counted on, though they occasionally have issues. Below are a few common issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The initial 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 may need replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion will eventually progress and develop a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated procedure and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but isn't rusty could be caused from hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused by bacteria which has amassed inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be from a number of issues. 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 might be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 may be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacing.
Strange sounds from your hot 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 indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing serious, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.
If you experience a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it might be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.

They are more energy efficient than their tank counterparts, are more cost efficient to run and tend to have a longer lifespan, but are more expensive to purchase.

A tankless water heater needs more gas than a common heating system, and may need larger gas lines. You should verify that your existing water pipes can support a tankless heater.
