At Beacon Mechanical, we sincerely appreciate the opportunity to serve you, and your opinion is very important to us! Many companies claim to have the “best service in the business”, but at Beacon, we actually measure customer satisfaction to ensure our customers are happy. We use the Net Promoter Score system to capture feedback after every service call and installation, and use that feedback to drive continuous improvement throughout our business.

"Do not recommend. Paid more than $600 labor and $100 in parts still didn’t work. Told to spend $600 more to try replacing other pieces on a 5-year-old boiler BUT thankfully, I called another company before burning all my $$$; the other company arrived the same day, diagnosed the actual issue, and fixed it within a 1-hour service call charge. The Shaffer Beacon technician who visited twice repeatedly complained to us “just replace the stupid thing” and “I don’t do low voltage systems” and seemed very unsure of what to do. Significant portion of $600 in labor for the two visits seemed to be for reading the manual we keep next to the unit. Shaffer Beacon customer service confirmed they provided the expected level of service and correct charges. Thus, they charged us for not knowing what to do and an unneeded part replacement."

We are a fourth generation of professional water system engineers specializing in the installation and maintainence of well water pump systems. We can inspect and diagnose all aspects of your well and water pump system. This includes pumps, tanks, controls and water conditioning systems. We also provide excavation services to locate or repair well systems which are buried. State of CT licensed and fully insured since 1972.

"Our well head has been buried since we bought the house and then one night after having a major rain storm, we had dirty water. Called Nigro plumbing and Tom called back immediately and suggested I get a water test (and suggested where to go) and he reviewed the results as well. We had bacteria. They came the next day to disinfect our well (after digging the cover up) and walked us through the process after disinfecting. He identified the source of the problem that we had a breach in our well pipe casing. I asked them when they could raise the well head and they were able to fit me in in less than a week. They got a lot of work done in a half day and the backhoe guy they hired was really good too. (let my 4 yr old sit in the seat). I will continue to go to Tom and his guys in the future. Thanks again."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

It does cost money to have a water softener, both for installation and ongoing maintenance. Additionally, the taste of your water will be altered, especially if sodium is the ingredient you use to run the water softening system. Look up exactly what your chosen water softener will remove and what will remain because not all systems provide the same results.

A single shower consumes an average of over 17 gallons, while brushing your teeth with the water running uses up to four unnecessary gallons. Watering the lawn spreads hundreds of gallons of water across the yard each time. Limiting water usage in these areas can significantly cut down your water bill.

Hard water isn’t unhealthy. It’s safe to drink, bathe in, and cook with. However, it can make some skin, hair, and scalp problems, such as eczema, worse by affecting the pH balance of your skin and hair. Additionally, some people don’t like the taste of hard water, but it does contain minerals that are important to your overall health, like calcium.

There are several things that can shorten the life of a water softener. Homes with very hard water may have to replace the unit sooner because the water softener works harder to filter out the hard minerals. High water usage and infrequent maintenance can also put more strain on a water softener.
