"Great job repairing a toilet for my elderly parents (tank filled slowly; ballcock was replaced). Charged by the hour, reasonable price, no BS. Responsive - would have come the same day but I could not accommodate so they came the day afterward. Also did a minor faucet repair. Good value for money. Recommend!"

Water treatment can be confusing, but you’ve come to the right place for help. Our approach to water treatment is as unique as the Kinetico products we offer. At Premier Water Systems, we understand the water challenges in this area and take the time to learn about your family’s particular water treatment needs. That way, we can recommend the most efficient, effective and economical water treatment solutions custom fit to your home. So every time you turn on your tap, you know you’re getting the best water – and only water.
"David, the Technician, performed the regular maintenance on my system yesterday. It was okay, however, he did not replace the filter which has always been done during a maintenance visit. When the follow-up lady called today I mentioned it to her and she said it is probably because it didn't need to be done. I would have liked David to explain that to me. Now I have no way of knowing if that is why he did not change the filter. Otherwise, everything was good. I guess I should have read the items he said he performed before left, I read it later in the evening."

"We had Silco install a new furnace and AC in 2016, and it was the worst decision I have ever made as a homeowner. The installation itself had numerous problems, including an intermittent electrical connection that kept the AC from working. Turned out their tech had stripped the insulation improperly, cutting the actual copper wire. They also had to recharge the AC twice, right after installing it, before they figured out it had been a faulty unit from the start - but the owner still charged me $400 for the work, despite the inconvenience of several service calls and the fact that we had no AC for the whole summer. Now, in 2020, I find out that they should have installed a holder for the filter instead of us having to jam them inside the actual furnace case, which the manufacturer specifically recommends against, AND that they should have put the furnace up on blocks to keep it from rusting, which it is starting to do. They just don't have a clue what they are doing. And they leave their empty soda cans behind for you to clean up. Stay away from this crew of incompetents."

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.
