It can shorten its life, because every heating cycle in a closed system pushes against a relief valve that was never meant to be the pressure control. A valve that drips is doing its job under conditions it shouldn't be facing. Correcting pressure usually stops the dripping without touching the valve.

It gives heated water somewhere to expand once a check valve or regulator closes the system off from the street. When the tank loses its air charge, that expansion has nowhere to go and pressure spikes every time the burner or element runs. A tank that feels heavy at the bottom is usually waterlogged and done.

The plumbing work is the same regardless of how big the place is. What changes is travel, since a pro already covering Edmeston or Pittsfield 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 79 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.

It depends on the policy and on what caused the failure, so contact your insurance provider before assuming either way. Many policies treat sudden failures differently from slow seepage. Keep photographs and any paperwork from the visit, since carriers usually want to see what was found and what was done.
