Why do some hot water heaters need thermal expansion tanks and others do not?

I believe that the larger the hot water tank, the greater is the need for an expansion tank. Water expands as it is heated. This is why all hydronic heating systems require an expansion tank. A water heater would need expansion tank when a backflow preventer or check valve is installed in domestic cold water line directly after water meter. Some areas require backflow prevention, but not all. Have to check with local plumbing authority about that.


Is it necessary to have both an expansion tank and a pressure relief valve on a hot water heater?

You must have a pressure relief valve. I believe it is code nationally. I don't think you can buy a hot water tank w/o one. Expansion tank needed also if water meter has backflow preventer, check with local water authority if it does.

Not in North America. The electrical meter has to be in plain sight and accessible on the side of a home for the meter reader to access it.
