The plumbing work is the same regardless of how big the place is. What changes is travel, since a pro already covering Persia or Perrysburg can fold in a nearby call more easily than a distant one. Population size doesn't change what a regulator or a supply line needs.

Indirectly, yes. With July averaging 81 degrees, water entering the house is warmer, so each heating cycle expands it more inside a closed system. If the regulator is holding properly and the expansion tank is charged, you never notice. If either is failing, summer is when you find out.

In a home with a basement it is usually on the wall facing the street, right where the service line comes through, often within a few feet of the meter. Crawlspace homes sometimes have it under the floor near the front. Find it before you need it, and make sure the handle actually turns.

That's water hammer, and high static pressure makes it far worse than it would otherwise be. The moving water has to stop suddenly and the shock travels back through the supply lines. Lowering pressure to a normal setting and adding arrestors at the appliance usually settles it.

Often it's the pressure tank rather than the pump itself, since a tank that has lost its air cushion makes the pump short cycle and the pressure jump. Wells around Otto and Perrysburg run on the same basic setup as city homes downstream of the meter, minus the utility regulator. A plumber can check the tank charge and the switch settings together.
