Customers say: Quality work

Our company works with contractors as a sub-contractor for installation of plumbing, heating and environmental air systems. The company also works on home and commercial remodels and retro fitting heating and water heating systems.

"I have been working with statewide for 7 plus years. They cut our houses gas bill by 45% with their embassy boiler. Also, I read a review on this page about a lawsuit against statewide. Since Statewide cant post a rebuttle to the bad review below I will. Statewide was not contracted by the reviewer posted that slammed statewide and suid Statewide. Statewide was contracted to replace boilers by the previous owner, not this angies list reviewer. The new owner sued statewide and lost because he didnt own the house at the time of the installation and was buying the building after the fact. Also, the house didnt have very much baseboard copper piping so the house was cold because the baseboard was too small. Anyone who knows heating knows a boiler needs enough pipe to radiate heat. The review below is slander and cost a lot of good business to a great company. I called Statewide today, in five minutes he told me to press reset and heat turned on. It was a sensor and he fixed out w/no OT."

Residential and business water treatment systems. Water softeners, UV lights. We will analyze your water for contaminants such as chlorine, low pH, iron, bacteria, and devise a system to suit your needs. Treat your water from the source, as it enters your home, so whether you are drinking it, cooking with it or bathing in it, your water is pure.

"The process was quick and easy. I just provided a water sample. It was determined that I had high levels of chlorine in our drinking water. I was able to solve my water problems with only one filter. Why did I wait years to have this done? Now I can be confident that our water is safe. Highly recommended."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.

A lower-end water softener would cost around $900, not including installation. Each home has different requirements, water hardness, and number of inhabitants, so there’s a huge range in pricing—$600 to over $6,000. The average water softener repair bill is around $500, meaning it’s a much better option to repair any issues and only replace your softener if absolutely necessary. 

Soft water is better for your hair. The minerals in hard water can impact hair in a number of ways. It can cause the hair to dry out and become brittle, and it can require you to use more shampoo to get a good lather. The hard water may leave a film on the hair and scalp from mineral buildup, which may also cause some irritation.

You can install a water softener system by turning off the water supply, draining the water, and then connecting your device to the waterline. Next, you’ll fill your tank with the recommended amount of salt or brine (whichever your unit calls for; be sure to read the instructions). Turn the water supply on and check for leaks. You can opt to let your water run for a few minutes, then test it using strips. 

The process of inspecting your water softener system is similar.

Hard water doesn’t hurt, but it might feel more abrasive, especially if you have sensitive skin. It’s also about how your skin feels after bathing. You might feel as though you have a sticky film over your body because you do—it’s all that soapy residue left behind because the hard water can’t rinse it off completely.
