We are a full service residential plumbing, HVAC, and remodeling company serving the Boston area with fast, reliable and guaranteed service for over 50 years. We service oil burners, sell and install water purification systems, replace and repair water heaters and boilers, sell and Install sump pumps, service drains, and handle bathroom and kitchen remodels.
"It was frustrating and confusing having Barrell try to repair our system. The first time they came, they checked our interior system but did not check our AC condenser outside the house. That should have been a red flag. They ordered a blower wheel for our AC system but could not install it, saying it was either damaged or the technician didn't know how to install it properly. They ordered a new part, which did not come in. They ordered that same part again (blower wheel and motor). They installed the parts and claimed that the system was fixed. Unfortunately, they did not fix our system. We tried the AC and the heat (furnace) but neither worked; only the fan was working. We didn't want Barrell to come to our house again, since they seemed incompetent and didn't even document the work that they did, so we contacted a highly rated HVAC company on Angie's List. That company, B & G Heating and Air Conditioning, was excellent. They informed us of what they were doing and they fixed our system, quickly and professionally. Barrell had done the wiring wrong. We are happy that B & G was able to repair our system. At the same time, we have had to pay much more to get the job done since we had to hire a different company to complete the work."

FAQs for water softener service projects in Boston, MA
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.
