We are a family owned and operated business, specializing in RESIDENTIAL HVAC and Plumbing SERVICES. For an immediate response to your HEATING, COOLING and Plumbing NEEDS, call Gordon (Owner) @ (847) 727-0766

"We contacted Rudd Heating and Cooling and took advantage of their $89 Facebook deal for the fall furnace tun-up. Their tech was very knowledgeable and kind. She answered all my questions and instructed me on how to keep my furnace running more efficiently. My daughter has allergies and the tech even gave me tips on ways to help with better air quality with filter types and filter changing time frames. I have used a few other companies in McHenry through the years but everyone was in and out without any recommendations or helpful tips. I highly recommend this company and will not use anyone else but them in the future!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

It’s sometimes possible to install a water softener yourself, but it’s usually better to hire a water softener professional to get the job done. Water softeners involve plumbing and electrical work, which usually require permits and a certified expert to sign off on the work. Not only is it dangerous to work with these utility lines, but it’s also not legal in many areas. Plus, improper installation or system sizing might not fix your hard water issue and could lead to an increased risk of leaks, fires, and other property damage. 

You should not use a water conditioner with a water softener because a water conditioner changes the chemistry of the water and causes the ion exchange in a softener to be ineffective. Choose a water softener if you have hard water or well water, and use a water conditioner if you need to remove certain contaminants.

Drinking hard water is not known to have any negative health impacts. Using hard water can lead to dry skin and hair, and the minerals in hard water can build up in pipes, faucets, and appliances. Hard water is more of a threat to your plumbing than it is to your health.

While it depends on how complicated the unit and installation is, it takes two to four hours to install a water softener unit, on average. It might take longer if pipes need to be replaced. You should make sure the installation area is clear of any objects that might get in the way before you begin.

Hard water isn’t necessarily bad for you. In some ways, it’s good for you. If you’re deficient in magnesium or calcium, hard water can give you a mineral boost that you wouldn’t get with soft water. However, this is where the benefits of hard water pretty much stop. Hard water can cause many minor inconveniences and lead to costly, premature replacements of your water-using appliances.
