Expansion Tank Installation in Philadelphia, PA

Closed plumbing systems build pressure when water heats and expands. Melvin's Water Heater Service installs a pre charged expansion tank sized to the water heater gallon capacity. The tank bladder absorbs volume change and keeps pressure below one hundred psi. A pressure reducing valve on the main line maintains system balance. One paragraph states the typical pre charge of forty psi for residential units.
Mounting the tank vertically on the cold inlet line avoids stress on solder joints. Call (833) 774-1697.

Talk to a real person
How long do water heaters last?
A standard tank water heater lasts 8 to 12 years. Tankless models often reach 15 to 20 years with proper care.
Why does the pilot light keep going out?
A pilot light that goes out points to a faulty thermocouple or gas supply problem. A technician at Melvin's Water Heater Service can replace the part.
What are the differences between tankless and tank water heaters?
Tankless units heat water on demand and save space while tank models store 40 to 50 gallons. Tankless models suit homes with high demand.
What size water heater does a home need?
A 40 to 50 gallon tank fits most three-bedroom homes. Larger households may require 60 to 80 gallons or a tankless system.

Gas water heaters cost less to operate than electric models in most regions. Annual energy costs average 200 dollars for gas versus 500 dollars for electric.
