Well, we usually rerun all new cpvc from the copper/zinc service. However if there is copper piping in the house, we will replace/add what we need to 95% of the time in cpvc. Again we just use compression fittings where we adapt the two. It very simple. Also very neat and fast to work with. We use on both hot/cold.
I do not know how your pressure relief valve is, but up here we just run a pipe (cpvc) from the t&p to the floor. If it pops it just drains into the sump.
With your water heater being electric (right?), this should be no problem, maybe a 1 hour project if that once you have the supplies.
