"The installation was very efficient and the crew did an excellent job in regards to the plumbing hookups and testing. I highly recommend this company and would use them for future projects.

"Do NOT Work With ServiceChampion Unprofessional, Unreliable, Unresponsive I deeply regret choosing ServiceChampion for my HVAC installation. It has been a nightmare from start to finish. They installed a malfunctioning AC unit in October, and despite MONTHS of trying to resolve the issue, it still doesnt work. Heres a breakdown of their failures: Incompetent Installation: The system has been plagued with problems since day one thermostat malfunctions, the heat pump failing, and constant disconnections. Poor Communication: Ive made countless phone calls and emails, often receiving empty responses or no reply at all. The communication has been fragmented and disorganized. Unclear Solutions: Even when they identify a potential issue, they take forever to provide a solution. Technicians seem unsure, and Ive been given conflicting information. Lack of Accountability: Despite promises of a 100% satisfaction guarantee, theyve wasted my time, money, and caused immense stress especially with a new baby in the house. ServiceChampions negligence and lack of professionalism are appalling. They do not value their customers or stand behind their work. If you need reliable HVAC services, look elsewhere. I urge you to avoid ServiceChampion at all costs."

Water heater installations and replacements FAQs

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.
