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

While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.

The main difference between water softeners and water filters is that softeners remove hard minerals from the water, while filters have more of a blanket effect, removing all contaminants above a certain size. Filters are also much less expensive to install and protect against bacteria and other impurities. Depending on your water supply, you may need both.

Yes. Hard water is what causes scale buildup, and a whole-house filter provides numerous benefits beyond water softening. Any water that enters your home will go through the filter, which cleans up all water that you will use for cooking, bathing, and drinking. A whole-house water filter also blocks harmful particles like heavy metals.

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.

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.
