Guy came out, said they won't top the coolant off, but I still owe them the $80 service fee for coming out and telling me something they could have told me over the phone if anyone was actually on the phone. Paul Santana, the service tech seemed more interested in selling me on some type of service I hadn't called for than actually helping. Absolute dog water level service from top to bottom."

"ABSOLUTELY irresponsible and disrespectful company that does not value its customers or their time Missed their delivery/installation window of 12-4pm. No contact from them about anything and when i try to contact them all they'll tell me is that it was put on a truck this morning and they can provide no other information about when they might be coming to my house or if they'll even make it today. Seemed to have no interest in trying to help figure things out. Extremely unhelpful and customer service has a poor, lazy attitude Edit: several hours later and it's clearly not coming today but never was there any contact to attempt to communicate this with me. Just a silent no show. Calling the store they're only able to say that their deliveries are managed by a third party and they have absolutely no way whatsoever of contacting them or getting any information on it at all. Maybe someday hopefully I'll get my refrigerator delivered. Apparently not today. I do not recommend Lowes if you're getting a large appliance. They're not coordinated enough to pull it off. Edit 2: tracker just updated and apparently since they aren't responsible enough to deliver it between 12p and 4p on Friday they pushed it back to TUESDAY anywhere between 8a and 8p, during which i won't even be available for the delivery. I wasn't consulted or even notified of the reschedule, nor are they apparently going to give me any say because they blocked out the reschedule delivery button. Shoulda gone to Home Depot."

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.
