"Outstanding service from start to finish. The technicians were phenomenal and took care of every detail, from removing our old unit to installing the new tankless water heater. The job required custom retrofitting and running new piping to make sure the unit fit properly, and the crew handled it all seamlessly. Clean, efficient, and top-tier craftsmanship. I couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend them."

"There was a delay in removing the water softener due to Covid but after 4 months in hiring a handyman, it was resolved and they came out to recheck the softener to make sure it was working properly. Excellent water softener and free service on it for two years."

"Water was accumulating in the base of our dishwasher and some leaked out of the dishwasher onto the floor. We thought the drain was clogged and called Park Ridge Appliance Service. Nick called back and set up an appointment for the next day. He called that day to let us know that he could come earlier than our appointment time, which was even better for us. Nick and his assistant arrived shortly following the call and quickly determined that our problem was not a clogged drain but a faulty dishwasher water shut off valve. He had a replacement part on his truck. The two men quickly and efficiently took the dishwasher apart to replace the valve. Nick also noticed that the wood paneling front on our dishwasher was not properly secured and fixed that too, using Bosch screws that he conveniently had in his truck inventory.

Finally, Nick noticed that our dishwasher was caked with excess detergent scaling and provided us with two packets of citric cleaner which worked wonders on cleaning the dishwasher interior. He also recommended that we change the type of detergent to prevent such buildups in the future.

Our dishwasher now works very well and our dishes and glasses are sparkling like when the machine was new. My wife was so pleased, she had to call Nick to express our thanks again for doing such a great job.

NIck is a highly knowledgeable, efficient, and professional serviceman. He is punctual and courteous and has our highest recommendation."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.

Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.

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.

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.

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 you need a permit or license for a water softener installation depends on your location, as requirements vary significantly. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, some mandate a permit and an inspection, and others require both. In some areas, no special permit or license is needed at all.

To determine the rules in your area, you can contact your local building department or consult a local water softener installer or plumber. Often, only certified professionals are authorized to pull the necessary permits, and they will typically handle the entire permitting process for you. Regardless of local laws, it is always recommended to hire a licensed professional to ensure the system is sized and installed correctly. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to check an installer’s license status.
