"There was some good and some bad. The water heater they brought was damaged and rather than authorize the purchase of a new water heater at a Home Depot that was closer to my home, they had to return the damaged water heater to a Home Depot where they had picked it up. This extended the time to do the job by 2 1/2 hours. The technician however worked through a number of problems in the installation and successfully installed the water heater, so I will give them a 5.0 star for work quality. The price was a little more expensive than I thought was reasonable but not outrageous."

Transform your home with Anderson Design Painting. Our team of expert general contractors in San Diego specializes in kitchen and bathroom renovations. With our attention to detail and commitment to quality, we'll bring your vision to life. Contact us today for a consultation.
"If there is one thing I would say about Anderson Design, is that it's a contractor you can trust. Prior to beginning our remodel we got quotes from several other firms and did a lot of research. The primary element of our research was how hard it was to find a contractor that followed through on their word, was honest, and wouldn't up-sale you on a mountain of change requests. When Anderson Design showed up, they heard us out, we discussed our budget, and they immediately set to work looking through our house and attic to determine what was possible. This was the first of many actions that set Anderson apart from all other contractors. The ideas and proposal from Anderson were exactly what we wanted, but thought way beyond our price range. Not only that, their quote came in way below other bids from well known contractors in our area. We almost thought it too good to be true, so we had a very good heart to heart with the team that put our fears to rest. After confirming all the excellent reviews we decided to move forward. We are so glad we did. The plan was to renovate our Kitchen, Dining Room, and Living Room. To do this the team was going to knock down a load bearing wall, install new beams, re-route the plumbing for a new island, redo all trim on windows/doors, rewire network cable, install home theater speakers, and install new flooring throughout the house. Work started almost immediately after we signed the contract. The team was always respectful and worked around my family that was living in the house while the construction occurred. Throughout the entire process, even when unexpected things were uncovered, the team stayed in extremely close contact with us, and we always managed to work it out for the better. Because we were living there it felt like we noticed everything, and the team always took care of every concern or question we had during the process. Work completed ahead of schedule and was better than we ever could have believed. The team helped ensure that the purchasers we made on our own matched with the overall theme to get us the best possible result. We can’t recommend Anderson Design enough. Throughout the entire process they stuck to their word and delivered exactly what they said they would despite the obstacles we ran into along the way. There are few companies I’ve ever worked with that had so much integrity. We will absolutely be doing business with Anderson Design in the future and recommend others do the same."

"Eco Home Builders has recently completed our master bathroom renovation, luxury vinyl tile installation & kitchen and window installation led by Refael. As a first time home owner with lots of questions, Refael and his crew helped me in every aspect of the complete kitchen and bathroom remodel that I needed. They had a ton to fix. He was always available when needed, and the process could not have been smoother. Overall the remodel took about 3 weeks, including all demolition, inspections and finish work. This was a complete gut job where they replaced everything, including the old electrical wiring, new shower and countertops.

FAQs for water heater installation and replacement projects in Alpine, CA
You'll need an expansion tank if your home has a closed water system, which is standard in newer homes or those with backflow preventers or pressure regulators. Expanding hot water has nowhere to go in closed systems, creating potentially damaging pressure. The expansion tank provides space for this expanded water, protecting your plumbing system and water heater from premature failure. Many local building codes now require expansion tanks, and some water heater warranties may be voided without one.
For a standard 50-gallon water heater, a two-gallon expansion tank is sufficient. This sizing assumes normal household water pressure between 40 and 60 psi. If your home has higher water pressure (60 to 80 psi), consider upgrading to a slightly larger tank for added protection. The expansion tank's purpose is to accommodate the increased volume that occurs when cold water heats up, which is proportional to your water heater's capacity.
Watch for signs like dripping water around the tank, fluctuating water pressure throughout your home, or unusual noises in your plumbing system. A properly functioning expansion tank should feel light when tapped on the bottom—if it feels heavy or waterlogged, the internal bladder has likely failed. Other indicators include frequent triggering of your temperature and pressure relief valve, visible corrosion on the tank, or unexplained increases in your water bill, suggesting hidden leaks.
Most expansion tanks have a service life of five to 10 years, though some may last up to 12 years or more with proper maintenance. Factors affecting lifespan include water quality, system pressure, installation quality, and tank construction. Hard water areas often see shorter lifespans due to mineral buildup. Regular maintenance checks can help identify potential issues before complete failure. When your water heater is due for replacement, it's wise to replace the expansion tank simultaneously, even if it hasn't failed yet.
A 30-gallon water heater needs an expansion tank if your home has a closed plumbing system. The need for an expansion tank is determined by your plumbing system type rather than water heater size. Even smaller water heaters create thermal expansion when heating water. If your home has a backflow preventer, pressure regulator, or check valve on the main water line, you have a closed system that requires an expansion tank. Check your local plumbing codes, as many jurisdictions now mandate expansion tanks regardless of water heater size.
