Sounds like you have a leaky heater core. You will need to replace the heater core and give the cooling system a good flushing, it shouldn't be rusty.
A reliance water heater is a very good option for someone looking for a new water heater. They are decent quality and relatively inexpensive. So, in short, yes a reliance heater is a good option.
If your hot water heater did indeed go out, I would try going to home depot or your other local hardware store to purchase a new one. Most places will offer same day delivery. Good luck!
Could be a leaky heater core. Have the cooling system pressure tested. That should show you where the coolant is going. <><><> Good advice above- with loss of coolant and squeaking noises, a leaking water pump would be high on the list of suspects.
1st bet: Does it smell like antifreeze? Leaky heater core. 2nd bet: Worse after rain or car wash? Leak under cowl vents (the vents in front of the windshield. Good luck!
What type of water heaters have good recommendations? I wouldn't really care for water heating unless my water isn't cold. But the best two I recommend would be Rheem Water Heater, and Utah Water Heater Company.
Check that there isn't water around the water heater first, which would mean that turning it off and closing the water valve would be a good idea. Then, check the fuse box to see if the power has tripped--that is if it is an electric water heater.
if the foundation is good, termites, leaky roof, or a leaky basement.
residential? commercial? new ? replacement? if its a new water heater in a new home then the easiest way is to buy copper flex's and a gas flex and make sure you have low pressure gas at your gas stop like around 10 to 14" water column. Make sure you have a cold shut off on your cold water line before you hook up to the water heater and in some states they require a expansion tank. One good rule of thumb is if you have a check valve somewhere around your water meter or if on a well by your pressure tank then its a good idea to put a expansion tank.
a direct vent water heater is more fuel efficient (cost's less to operate). aside from that there isn't much difference, aside from not needing a double wall flue through the roof on a standard gas water heater.
My water heater burned up today. What are some brands of water heaters with good reviews?
A water bed heater is simple to use. In a bed-shaped plastic, flexible container, there is water and the water gets heated up for warmth. This bed is very good for winter.
