Default Water spike problems in my house.

Does an expansion tank sound like the solution?



Yes, with the PRV installed you need an expansion tank.
I'd also recommend a check valve on the cold water inlet of the water heater
to eliminate the cold system as part of the expansion area and to ensure
there's no backflow from the heater into the cold system.
