Since 1978, Reliable has offered home services with exceptional reliability and customer service. We offer more financing options than any other company, even Comfort as a Service, a hassle free way to get energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, water heaters, water purification even generators for a low monthly payment and all repairs, maintenance even filters are NO additional CHARGE EVER. Reliable takes care of everything. That is an UNBEATABLE LIFETIME WARRANTY.

"I had a brand new heat pump system installed in April 2023. They sent subcontractors to install it who were very unprofessional and they left bare wires hanging out of the machine and it did not look like it was installed correctly. It stopped working completely 4 times in 5 months, the last time was on October 10, service tech said, “I really don’t agree with the way they installed it “ he said the wires were barely connected so it kept losing power. He got it working again and left. Two weeks ago it got cold and we turned the system to heat for the very first time. It blew cold air. We made ANOTHER service call. The technician said that a switch had “gone bad” because, “they wear out” we explained that we have never used the heat even once, so how could the switch be worn out. Then they advised they had to order a part. Over a week later the part came in and they returned and that still didn’t fix. Now they say the compressor has, “gone bad” and when we reiterated that we have never even used it so how is it worn out they answered, “they just go bad sometimes” we still don’t have heat, they say they have to order more parts. We asked them to look over the whole system because we don’t think it is installed right and I am genuinely concerned that it is a fire hazard and they looked at it, put electrical tape on some hanging wires and left. We have had to take SIX days off work so far and buy space heaters and we are no closer to having a working system. This unit is less then SIX MONTHS OLD. At this point I have no choice but to pursue legal action. This whole experience has been terrible and has cost me hundreds in missed time at work and I’m still paying for a system that does not work."

HE SAID WE HAVEN'T ORDERED IT YET WE WERE WAITING TO CONFIRM FROM THE CUSTOMER TO ORDER THE PART. I TOLD HIM THAT ON 9-12-18 OR ON 9-13-18 YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED US THE MANAGER CARY SAID WHY DIDN'T I CALL THEM TO FIND OUT WHAT IS THE STATUS EVEN AFTER WE HAD TOLD THEM TO GO AHEAD AND ORDER THE PART. THE MANAGER SAID THEY WERE NOT TOLD THAT CAUSE IT IS AN EXPENSIVE PART.

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."

Local plumbing company with over 35 years of experience providing professional, safe and quality plumbing work at a fair price in a competitive market with customer satisfaction as as our number one priority. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express as well as On-Line Invoicing and payment options.

"On April 20, 2024, Double D Plumbing performed a repair on my water service line at the meter. Their invoice (attached) stated they “dug approximately 5 feet” and repaired the ¾” line. The job cost nearly $700. Within 14–15 months, the repair failed, resulting in massive water loss — in August 2025, the City of Monroe contacted us after noticing abnormal usage on our account and advised us that the water should be shut off. When I attempted to shut the meter valve, the meter box was completely full of water and mud, making the valve inaccessible. I contacted the City for help, but before they could arrive, I had to use a shop vacuum to remove water and mud just to locate and close the shutoff myself. When I exposed the failed joint, both my wife and a neighbor witnessed water spraying directly from the threaded connection. The failure occurred at the exact location of Double D’s prior repair. The cut-out piece left on our porch from their 2024 work shows a PVC male adapter with blue tape. That type of fitting exists only at the meter transition, proving they did in fact replace that joint despite later denials in writing. Their denial directly contradicts the physical evidence. Additionally, photographs show the section of pipe at the meter sits above the frost line, an obvious code violation. Any licensed plumber would recognize this immediately when working in that location. Instead of correcting it or disclosing it to us, Double D tied directly into that same noncompliant section. Worse, they repeated the same mistake by reinstalling another PVC male adapter threaded into the metal meter — a weak, noncompliant method destined to fail again. The invoice itself was misleading, claiming “dug approximately 5 feet,” which Craig later admitted meant linear feet, not depth. It also contained no warranty terms, no license number, and only a PO Box. Only after the fact did they claim a one-year warranty verbally, which cannot be enforced without written terms. When we called about the failure, we were told on speakerphone (with witnesses present) that they had no availability until “sometime the following week,” despite knowing we had no usable water. The office refused to provide Craig’s email address, insisted I call him directly, and ultimately I had to text Craig myself requesting his email so that all communication would remain documented in writing. Their final position was simply “out of warranty, not our problem.” Summary: • Misrepresented invoice details. • No written warranty provided. • Ignored obvious frost-line code violation while working at the meter. • Repeated noncompliant repair with PVC male adapter into a metal meter. • Left physical evidence contradicting later denials. • Unprofessional communication, refusal to provide written contact, and no timely emergency response. This repair cost nearly $700, lasted just over a year, and failed exactly at the joint Double D worked on. The physical evidence, photos, and witness leave no room for dispute. I am filing this complaint so other homeowners are not subjected to the same misrepresentation."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn’t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time. 

Replacing a water softener costs $200 to $6,000, depending on the capacity of the water softener, the type of water softener, and the amount of people living in your home. An ion exchange water softener is the most common type and costs $500 to $3,000. Water distillers, which cost $1,200 to $4,000, and dual-tank models, which cost $1,000 to $5,000, are definitely pricey, but they offer more filtration or capacity, respectively.

Because it’s been through the water cycle, evaporating and becoming slightly acidic thanks to dissolved carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, rainwater tends to be naturally soft compared to groundwater, which has just been in contact with limestone. However, the natural hardness level of water always depends on where you are and other factors.

Whether or not your water softener installation requires a permit depends on where you live; some municipalities only let certified plumbers and electricians pull the necessary permits and complete the work, others only require a professional to sign off on the work, and some don’t mandate permits at all. You can contact your local building department to find out, but you can also ask a local water softener installer or plumber to see if a permit is necessary. They will usually pull the permits for you and can help close them out after the work is complete.

Most experts agree there’s not much difference health-wise between hard water versus soft water. That said, hard water is more likely to cause skin dryness and issues that go along with it, like an itchy or flaky scalp. Hard water can also decrease the life span of your household appliances and make it more difficult for soap to do its job.
