"Fantastic work and the plumber who can out was amazing! I really enjoyed the overall experience in what was a stressful situation I felt that the pricing was not clear to me in that each plumbing would be charged $250k, resulting in $1,250 for about 2 hours work. I was very satisfied with the work and tried to be as nice as I could be but feel surprised by the sticker when the plumber was already out at my home. Just ask questions on costs before engaging anyone moving forward. The guys were good people and I don’t no mind paying a little more for great work on an Easter weekend… just communicate with me so I am not surprised!"

MFP has handled countless water heater installations in the Tampa area. We specialize in this service, and that allows us to get your new heater installed more quickly and economically than conventional plumbing companies that handle many different plumbing projects at the same time. Seconds feel like centuries when you're standing in an ice-cold shower; we move fast so you don't have to!
"When my 25 year old hot water heater gave up the ghost I turned to Angi for a list of approved plumbers. Plumbing is a service industry , and it’s going to be good customer rapport that will make or break a sale. I was contacted by Alex with Mid-Florida Plumbing and from our initial phone conversation to the completion of the job, this personable and capable young man not only executed the tricky water heater removal and replacement, but instructed me in its care and feeding, answered my questions about other funky stuff around the house, and fixed my cranky toilet. It ended up being a fun experience and I definitely recommend Alex for your plumbing needs."

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.
