"Oak called 2nd but came next day/ UN-prepared to do either repair or water test (requested on phone) or even replace with ready new ADA toilet that the lying receptionist booker said they have “some in stock and if not he will show a catalog of choices”. Guy came punctually with Nzo tools or appliances Or knowledge of what I asked for as an “URGENT repair/replace”. See ABC review same call. Not quite as bad as them doing same since we also still have broken HVAC too, both said they would fix ( I bought gasket already, they could have put in) or replace if they brought new toilet. Problem is not in water pipes except they need testing for lead - both said they would do this too - when I asked oak re taking a sample, how long sitting in pipes? He wiped off his soda water bottle and asked “which pipes?” !!"

"Mikey called within a few minutes of my Home Advisor search. He came out when agreed and called to confirm. Knowledgeable about tankless water heaters, he did some adjustments to our existing tankless so that we can continue to use for now. He also gave us a reasonable estimate for a point of use we may get in the near future. Professional, personable and knowledgeable. We will call them again when we need a plumber."

"First off the angies list coupone I used was expired but they still honored it, for that I'm grateful. However, over a month's time I had four different appointments that they fell through on. Only two of them did they even bother to call and tell me they weren't able to come. Do you know how much time I wasted waiting for a plumber that never showed up 4 times! one of the times they were very apologetic and sounded like they had some sort of emergency which I understand, I'm not completely unreasonable, but 4 times! The phone number listed also seemed to have their voice mail box constantly full so I couldn't leave messages and it seemed like the other times I was always talking to someone different, are there different sub companies and all star is the parent company? it left me very confused. In the phone call I said it was my solar water heater on my roof which was leaking yet he didn't bring a ladder to the job? He borrowed my ladder and went up on to the roof (have to give him credit there, it is a scary roof) and fixed the job for about 250 more dollars. He did give me a 10% discount when I mentioned all of the inconveniences. Still 25$ to compensate for four jobs not shown up to? I work night shift too so every one of those jobs was the equivalent of you waking up at 2 in the morning to wait for someone that never shows up.

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.
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.
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
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.
