Code restrictions require the addition of a thermal expansion tank at the time of water heater replacement.
When cold water is heated, the water expands. This thermal expansion occurs in all systems that have tank-type water heaters. Thermal expansion can cause too much water pressure and cause expensive problems from water flowing back into the main water supply to the house. The reason an expansion tank is required is to prevent the damage and eliminate these problems, by giving water a place to go when thermal expansion occurs.
The addition of a thermal expansion tank at the time of wareheater replacement is required by Georgia code and we will not install a new water heater without it.
