"Discovered no water pressure late one evening and leaving for vacation next day. Called R&G at 11:30 pm and Rick walked us through the possible issues. He was at our house the next morning and found the problem quickly and at a minimal cost. He absolutely saved our Spring vacation as we could not have left with no water at the house. Very knowledgeable about water pumps, provided a quote to replace ours at it is reaching the end of it's life and I won't consider using anyone else!"

"Have a whole home water filter (Aquasana) that was already installed. Was happy to find an outfit that was comfortable working with a system they didn't install. I was really impressed with Hague. Herminio arrived right on time and quickly understood what he had to do. He quickly and carefully got the new water softening tanks primed, flushed, and installed. He took care to check for leaks. Will definitely hire Hague again."

Customers say: Quick response
"I was very impressed with the follow up calls. Marlene was patient and called back multiple times. When I finally scheduled the appointment Tom was professional and thorough in his assessment. Another company told me I needed to replace parts on my water filter system that would take months to order. Tom, said they just needed set properly and it will work. The best part was a flat fee for the service call and parts if needed. I was so happy I can't thank you enough. Honesty should be rewarded!"

"Very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the procedure. Very fast install. Can already see huge difference in my water."
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.
