"The shut off valve for my water heater would not shut off the water, and needed replaced. In addition, the water heater factory drain valve used for twice a year flushing of the water heater was plugged, and would not drain. When asked, another plumbing company that was out for some other work said they no longer open drains on water heaters due to the fact the shut off valves often leak after being disturbed. Indy water heater replaced the original shut off valve with a well made ball valve. I had a quick connect ball valve that they would have been willing to use, but when I saw the construction of the one they had, I chose to go with theirs. In addition, they removed the plastic water heater drain valve and replaced it with a short extension, ball valve, and adapter for a garden hose fitting. Then the plumber flushed the water heater, with lots of white flakes coming out of the hose. When looking at the plastic factory valve, it was no wonder it clogged due to a vary small passage when fully open. He mentioned the water heaters they sell come with a larger drain valve. All my questions were answered, I received a call in advance of the arrival, and the plumber cleaned up the area after the work. Overall, a very professional job."

"Perkins does not require criminal background checks, which is strange since they send employees to your home. They hired the guy who murdered my sister. He's also an alcoholic so expect ****** work and he'll probably wreck into your house. DO NOT ALLOW CRIMINALS NEAR YOUR HOME."

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.
Water softeners are worth the money if you live in an area with hard water. Hard water is safe to drink, but it poses serious threats to your plumbing system. The minerals in hard water will gradually build up on the inside walls of your pipes, reducing water flow to your fixtures. The minerals can also gradually corrode your plumbing system, reduce its lifespan, and increase the risk of leaks. Hard water also makes soap and detergent less effective. Water softener systems can solve all these issues, making them a great investment.
It’s possible to install a water softener yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Water softeners require working with copper pipes and electrical wiring, neither are suitable tasks for most DIYers. Plus, working with water and electricity together is dangerous and could pose a risk to your safety. Water softeners also need to be calibrated so that they don’t make your water too soft, as soft water poses just as many risks as hard water. Overall, it’s well worth hiring a local water softener installer to place your water softener system.
The cost to install a water softener system is $1,500 on average, ranging between $200 and $6,000. The labor for water softener work typically costs between $150 and $1,000, so you can add that to your equipment costs to get an accurate total. Your price will depend on many factors, including the following:
System capacity
Home size
Water hardness levels
Type of water softener
Presence of electricity in the installation area
Local permit costs
Your water softener size is based on your total household water consumption. In most cases, you can assume the average household member will use around 75 gallons per day. Multiply that by the number of people in your home, then multiply by 10 (for the typical grains per gallon). You’ll get a number in grains that should help roughly size your water softener. However, it’s best to hire a professional to install your system and use more exact numbers, like your exact average water consumption per day and starting water hardness.
