Boiler Expansion Tank Replacement in Greater Vancouver
Absorbs pressure as system water heats and expands. Supplied and professionally installed by licensed gas fitters — never sold for DIY.
What the Expansion Tank Does
The expansion tank (expansion vessel) gives heated water room to expand, keeping system pressure stable. A waterlogged or failed tank causes pressure swings, repeated relief-valve discharge, and short-cycling.
A pre-charged air cushion behind a diaphragm compresses as water heats and expands, then pushes water back as it cools, holding pressure within the safe operating band.
We supply and fit the expansion tank as part of a complete boiler repair or new installation, and inspect it during annual maintenance for homes across Greater Vancouver.

Safety Warning
A relief valve that drips whenever the boiler heats up is usually a failed expansion tank, not a bad valve.
