"We have a GE refrigerator that has been increasing temperature to 50 degrees intermittently. We had another repairman out in the past that stated he didn't know what the problem was and thus couldn't bill us. We then called Affordable Appliance Repair in Terre Haute. Before the serviceman even came out, my husband asked over the phone if he was qualified to work on GE refrigerators and he said yes. This serviceman was at our home for 2 hours stating he wasn't certain what was wrong but he "thinks it's the control board". He had no diagnostic tools and in particular, nothing to test the board, thus this was his assumption. He suggested we replace the board as he "thinks this is the problem" in which we replied that we are not going to pay to replace something under an assumption. He finally packs up and proceeds to write us a bill for $85 for not fixing a thing. I stated I would be agreeable to paying his gas to show up but he hasn't properly diagnosed or fixed anything. He the states - "well, I want to replace your board but you weren't agreeable so it's not my problem you don't want the item fixed". I pointed out that I could have assumed it was the computer board without calling him and ordered/installed it myself, but I thought I was calling somebody who said he was qualified to diagnose the issue to avoid spending money on unnecessary parts. His answer- well if I replaced the board and that's not the issue, I won't charge you a service call to try another option". To which I said- so you're not going to charge me another service call, but I will continue to pay your for parts until you find the right one ? He just shrugged at this point and continued to write his handwritten receipt charging us $85 for wasting our time and money and fixing nothing. Oh, and his moto on his fb and site is : If I can't repair it, you don't pay!"

Home Warranty prides itself on providing the best value in the home warranty industry, making our Home Protection Plan the home warranty of choice wherever we do business.

"Buyers Beware – Total Waste of Money We purchased the premium home warranty package through Home Warranty Inc (homewarrantyinc.com) when we bought our home in October 2024, including the add-on for sprinkler system coverage. As anyone familiar with North Dakota knows, sprinkler systems must be winterized in September or October to prevent freeze damage. Ours was professionally blown out as soon as we moved in. Fast forward to spring—sprinkler systems in this region typically aren’t used again until late May, after the last freeze. We hired a professional sprinkler company to perform the spring startup and inspection. They found that multiple valves weren’t working properly. I filed a claim with the home warranty company immediately. Despite having the coverage, they denied the claim, saying it was a "pre-existing condition." That’s absolutely ridiculous, considering the system was winterized upon move-in and wasn’t even operational until months later. To make matters worse, this company has no partnered service providers in our town. You're expected to find your own technician, and good luck finding one who’s willing to work with them. Even if you do, you're likely stuck paying a significant amount out of pocket if anything needs to be replaced. This company is a complete scam. They take your money and leave you high and dry when it actually matters. I would never recommend them to anyone."

FAQs for water heater installation and replacement projects in Vermilion, IL

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.
