"LP came to service my water system on 4/4/2023. The service tech indicated I had a possible issue with my sump pump as he poured water and sediment from changing my cartridge/filter into the sump pump. He asked if I wanted an LP plumber to come out and to see what the issue was. I agreed. Plumbers came. 20-minutes later they left my home and I received an electronic invoice for $550.00. They never told me what was wrong. They did not provide an estimate to replace. They did not request a signature to accept the estimate and okay to perform the work. They did not request a signature for me accepting the work that was supposedly performed. When I opened the electronic invoice, my name had been forged in 2 areas. The invoice did not list what brand/manufacturer of sump pump was installed. The invoice did not have a price for the labor. There was a $100 deduction but no reason provided. When I called LP, a was switched over to a representative. She stated they could not provide the sump pump information I requested. No reason as to why. But wanted to know if I wanted to pay my bill. I did pay, but thought more about it and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. My request was simple: provide a new invoice with the manufacturer of the sump pump. It would be a good thing to have in the event the supposed NEW sump pump failed. Odd that another well known contractor who replaced this years ago, gave me their invoice with the name and manufacturer and brand name/model of the sump pump that was determined defective by LP. I still have that receipt but odd that LP, supposedly a professional company, literally refused to provide the information that I requested. LP did reach out but I did not take the call on my cell and was out the next day when they called a landline. Their rep replied was everything looked reasonable but they, LP, NEVER, and STILL HAS NOT provided the information I requested. The name of the new sump, model number, etc. that I would need should the unit fail after LP had performed the work. If the unit failed, how would I ever be able to call the maker, e.g., Kohler, and see if they would honor a warranty if it did fail. How hard would it have been for LP to honor this request? Because I, a senior citizen did not contact LP by phone, the BBB closed the complaint. Instead of requesting that LP provide the required information, they closed the complaint. Makes one feel like they were totally scammed and the reason they didn't know or want to provide the information is that didn't actually perform the work. Another senior - SCAMMED."

"I contacted Stang Plumbing to give me an estimate on replacing the copper water supply piping (hot and cold) in my house with PEX A. Stang gave me a reasonable estimate right from the start. The two other estimates I requested further confirmed that Stang’s estimate was very reasonable and after they promptly responded to several questions I had concerning their proposal, I chose them to do the work. The workers showed up promptly on the first day to start the work and every day thereafter. The lead plumber, Rob, did a great job of communicating the progress at the end of the day and what he intended to accomplish the next day. Each day Rob made sure that water service was restored through out the house and that there were no leaks from the work that had been performed. The piping replacement was completed on the schedule originally proposed. Rob, and his helper Mark, were very professional and courteous and a pleasure to deal with. I will happily chose Stang Plumbing for any future work and highly recommend them for any plumbing services you may need."

FAQs for water softener service projects in Frederick, MD

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.
