The new meter has nothing to do with the expansion tank on your water heater. If there is a back flow preventer/check valve after the meter, you basically have a closed system, hence the reason for the expansion tank on the heater. As far as the push pull valve is concerned, I'm not aware of any major problem with these devices. I'd be more concerned about a blow out on the water supply lines on your washer and dryer, unless they are the stainless steel braided lines.
