Genie Bath Systems provides homeowners with custom bath remodeling solutions, to include a full-line accessibility needs. All of our products are custom made in the USA. Factory Certified Installation.Lifetime Warranty.100% Financing . PLEASE NOTE: WE DON"T PERFORM KITCHEN REMODELS

"Last October, my sister, an elderly veteran living alone, contracted Genie Bath Systems to remodel her master and guest baths. She was diagnosed cancer and passed before the remodel was complete. Which, to be fair as we were not able to work with Genie while attending to my sister. The contract was expensive. Very expensive. The cost of the remodel is close to 1/4th the value of her home. I noticed there were issues with the remodel that showed a surprising lack of attention to detail. Genie sent people to address the issues twice. Yet issues remain. My calls to my contact at Genie are now being ignored. Also, the only document I have for the remodel is the contract my sister signed. It is not detailed. I have and continue to ask for a breakdown of the cost. An estimate or work order. This request is also being ignored. I am disappointed and have to wonder why Genie will not provide this information. I have several other questions for Genie that I will not go into here. But based on my experience, I cannot recommend Genie. In fact I would warn anyone considering Genie to be very careful about the cost of the contract."

"Gilbert from G&I Appliance Repair contacted me on 4/20 about repairing our refrigerator. I explained to him the refrigerator is slightly cool but not cold enough, and the freezer just cold enough to keep ice from fully melting, but will not freeze anything solid. He advised it was a compressor problem without going to my home to do a diagnostic look over. I told him I had tested the fans and the compressor, and they were working. The problem was they were not blowing cold. He insisted it was a compressor problem, and advised me he was an expert and to trust him. He came to my home on 5/1 and replaced the compressor, said it was fixed but it would take a few hours to cool. He charged me $603 and left. I messaged him that same night and told him the refrigerator was still not working. He came back the next day and worked on it, told me it was now working but to wait another 24 hours for it to start cooling again. I once again brought up the fact that the old compressor was working fine and it appears he fixed something that was not broken, and the actual problem is something besides the compressor. He assured me he had fixed it and it is working. On 5/2 the refrigerator was still not working and was functioning exactly as it had been when I initially requested a repair. The freezer would not freeze all the way and refrigerator would hardly cool. The new compressor was working just like the old compressor. Gilbert offered to come back out and diagnose the problem, but I had already paid $603 dollars for a needless compressor repair. Gilbert now thinks the problem might be with the 3-way valve, but he is not certain and he wanted to come back to my house. I asked him why he replaced a fully-functioning compressor if the problem was elsewhere, for which he cannot provide a satisfactory answer. I told him I wanted a refund, and even went so far as to pay him for a diagnostic fee, but he refused. Gilbert suggested I was trying to scam him and was lying about the refrigerator not working. So, I had him drive out to my house and look at the refrigerator, which he did."

FAQs for water heater installation and replacement projects in Fredericksburg, TX

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.
