"This review is hard because I have previously used this business several times over the past few months. However, I’m so profoundly disappointed in the service I received from Super Service Today last week that I feel compelled to share my experience. Two months ago, I told Super Service Today about a basement leak in the utility room. They charged me $180 diagnostic fee but couldn’t identify the source of the leak. I was assured that things looked as if they were in working order (i.e., water heater, piping, and boiler) and that I would get consideration for the $180 diagnostic fee I paid (without getting a diagnosis) if the leak were to recur. Well, the leak recurred in the basement utility room 2 months later. The "consideration" that I was promised went out of the window once they got their initial payment, and I was charged an additional $5000 for the replacement of a new water heater. To make matters worse, their plumber failed to ensure that the tenant’s hot water and heat were functioning after the water heater installation. The tenant understandably complained, so I reported this to Super Service Today. They inform me that their plumber never switched the valves back on, so they sent the same plumber the next day. Since the door was locked and I out of town, I had to pay $200 for a locksmith to unlock the basement. Super Service Today refused to pay for locksmith despite the fact that the need for the locksmith was a direct result of their mistake: leaving the valves off. After the plumbers comes, he then says that there must be an electrical problem with the relay box because the heat and hot water still won’t turn on. Despite the implausibility that the electrical wiring and/or relay box that were perfectly functioning with the bad water heater would suddenly malfunction with the installation of a new water heater, we have an electrician come over the next day for another $450. The electrician tells us the obvious: there is no electrical problem and all the systems are receiving the appropriate signals, that the boiler is hot, and that the issue is clearly plumbing. Additionally, the senior electrician (who has 20 years of HVAC experience) says that the proximate cause is that the plumber introduced an air bubble into the system during the installation of the water heater. I verbally share the summary of the electrical diagnostic information with Super Service Today at 11:43 am Eastern time on Friday, and finally after a second call, the plumber calls me back at 3pm who says he will share it with the office. I don’t get a call back (this is now the 3rd day for my tenant without heat or hot water), so I call back in 1.5 hours, later only to be told that addressing an air bubble in the boiler is out of scope despite the fact that it was introduced during their $5000 water heater installation. Furthermore, because it is now at the end of the day, they would have to charge me an emergency fee of >$150 (for nights/weekends) + $180/hour to diagnose their own incompetence. I passed, put my tenants in a hotel, and hired a trusted plumber who solved the multiple problems in a couple hours. Yes, that’s right, in addition to introducing an air bubble into my previously functioning system, my plumber documented that they erred in the installation of the water heater. It’s no wonder why there was no heat or hot water. I can deal with infrequent mistakes, as everyone is human. I can't suffer people who make mistakes and don't own them, blame other people (like the electrician), and want to charge you exorbitant amounts to fix their own blunders. That's unacceptable They were paid to leave everything in good and working order. Instead, they left me in a lurch, with large out of pocket costs, and very unhappy."

Design, Installation and Maintenance services for Water Wells, Pump and Tank Systems, Control Systems, Water Treatment Systems and more! We also specialize in treating rust stains from your irrigation system!
"We have an irrigation well built and serviced by Well Water Connection. John the owner was very responsive, and the irrigation well has been a good investment making watering our green lawn pay for the well in just a couple years since town water is also expensive. Drilling for water around here is tricky, and we have had to figure out how to manage our well water usage. Well Water Connection has been a solid partner in maintaining our irrigation well."

"I used Sila for the first time this year using their Triple Bundle Coupon (Heating, AC, and Water Heater maintenance). I would highly recommend just calling them to book your appointment (the online chat is not as helpful). But otherwise super easy to book an appointment. They gave me a call about an hour before the tech was supposed to arrive and he arrived within the expected time. I had Nick as a technician. He was extremely cordial and I appreciated how he brought shoe covers (for when he had to walk around inside my home). I also really appreciated all the information he provided after the service was completed. He gave suggestions and product information hat could help improve the performance of my systems and helped explained what those items were in a way that I (not a HVAC pro) can understand. Really glad I used them for my PM this year!"

FAQs for water softener service projects in Boston, MA
The license requirements for water softener installation depend on your location. Some municipalities require that the installer hold a plumbing license, some require a permit and an inspection, but no license for the installer, and some require a permit and a license for the installer. Regardless of the local laws in your area, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed plumber or installer. These pros will install your system properly and have the experience to size the system appropriately. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your installer’s license status.
The cost to install a water softener system is $1,500 on average, ranging between $200 and $6,000. The labor for water softener work typically costs between $150 and $1,000, so you can add that to your equipment costs to get an accurate total. Your price will depend on many factors, including the following:
System capacity
Home size
Water hardness levels
Type of water softener
Presence of electricity in the installation area
Local permit costs
Water softeners are worth the money if you live in an area with hard water. Hard water is safe to drink, but it poses serious threats to your plumbing system. The minerals in hard water will gradually build up on the inside walls of your pipes, reducing water flow to your fixtures. The minerals can also gradually corrode your plumbing system, reduce its lifespan, and increase the risk of leaks. Hard water also makes soap and detergent less effective. Water softener systems can solve all these issues, making them a great investment.
It’s possible to install a water softener yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Water softeners require working with copper pipes and electrical wiring, neither are suitable tasks for most DIYers. Plus, working with water and electricity together is dangerous and could pose a risk to your safety. Water softeners also need to be calibrated so that they don’t make your water too soft, as soft water poses just as many risks as hard water. Overall, it’s well worth hiring a local water softener installer to place your water softener system.
Your water softener size is based on your total household water consumption. In most cases, you can assume the average household member will use around 75 gallons per day. Multiply that by the number of people in your home, then multiply by 10 (for the typical grains per gallon). You’ll get a number in grains that should help roughly size your water softener. However, it’s best to hire a professional to install your system and use more exact numbers, like your exact average water consumption per day and starting water hardness.
