Established in 1978. 50-60 Employees. Cost is determined by scope of work and location. Travel and Emergency charges may apply.

"It went very well. Scott spoke to us about our needs, the pricing and the installation. He worked us into his schedule quickly, given that we had no A/C in June. His crew came at 5AM so they could work in the attic and they did a very quick and thorough job, out by Noon. The installers were very friendly, professional and helpful. They gave us a lot of information about our system and demonstrated the controls on the thermostat. They also took care to clean up after themselves. We're very satisfied with the unit they installed, a big improvement over the old one in terms of comfort and efficiency."

"My constantly wet basement is now dry! It is almost all new concrete. The section where my well pump, water softener was boxed off and filled with rock and was constantly wet. I spoke to a supervisor who agreed that the drain could extend behind boxed area and covered with concrete. I thought the workers were informed by the supervisor. I told them what I wanted done. When they were finished, there were still wet rocks there. I explained again and one of the workers said "you want cement?" Now there's a thin layer of cement that is always wet. The drain pipe outside is only inches from the surface, in the middle of the yard. I can only have wood delivered to one side of the house."

Our business prides itself on quality work and customer relationships, which is our flagship business platform. We offer a wide range of services such as heating systems, natural gas and propane, all aspects of plumbing as well as water quality testing and the corresponding filtration system from resulting test.

"Dave from Calzini's Plumbing and Heating got me through a hard time when I couldn't get anyone else to provide service on short notice. As a landlord, I had to replace a hot water heater for my tenants as soon as possible. I had to shut the water off and they were extremely upset about it. The only one that responded and came out right away was Calzini's Plumbing. They arrived within an hour and were out within an hour after with everything functioning perfectly. It was in the evening so couldn't get a permit that night. Dave from Calzini's arrived early the next morning to have a permit pulled and all was good again. I can't say enough about this company and would recommend Calzini's Plumbing and Heating to anyone for all your service needs. Thanks Dave Calzini!"

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."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

It’s not a good idea to oversize your water softener. Doing so will mean the tank doesn’t get full, which can lead to channeling. This leads to a large portion of the resin beads not being utilized and the beads at the bottom of the tank being overused. Over time, this will reduce the efficiency of your system, not to mention that the upfront cost of an oversized softener is unnecessarily high. If you have a timed regeneration cycle rather than a demand-based one, you’ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.

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.

Softened water prevents scale deposits, reducing appliance wear, leading to energy savings and longer-lasting household fixtures.

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.

Yes. To get soft water, you can install a water softening system, which will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium or potassium ions. Water softeners cost anywhere from $200 to $6,000, depending on the size and complexity of the system. You can either install a water softener for the whole house or just at your shower heads. If you’re sensitive to sodium or potassium, you can install a salt-free water conditioner.
