"This was disappointing. We’ve been a customer since living in the area for 30+ years. So naturally I called them when there was a problem with my mother’s AC, as she now lives nearby. The AC unit was buzzing but the fan was not running. Unfortunately I could not be there for the repair, but all went well and the AC was back up and running. Then I saw mom’s bill. The repair cost was $495 for a ”Voltage Enhancement System Rejuvenation”. Something I’d never heard of and, according to a little research, doesn’t seem to exist. So I took a look at the unit and saw they replaced the capacitor, a $75 part, and cleaned the fan vents. I could have understood maybe $300, but according to Todd, who I called today, it's a “flat rate charge…and we have overhead…but we didn’t charge for the diagnostic”. He insisted the charge was fair and wouldn’t consider adjusting it. Now he understands that they just lost two customers, one a previously happy, longtime customer."

"After having the gas company come out and confirm that the furnace was slowly leaking gas from around the gas valve, we called Charest Heating & Cooling around 9:30pm on a Saturday night. They were very prompt in their response time to our house and their emergency after hours fee was reasonable and very competitive. The technician Josh was very polite and professional. He quickly confirmed that the gas valve needed to be replaced and provided me a quote for the job, not just an hourly fee like many other companies would have charged. It took a some time and travel for Josh to get the right valve for the job which was completely understandable that late on a weekend night. Once the part was in hand, the job was completed quickly. Josh remained very friendly and professional the entire time despite the late hour by the time the job was finished. We were very impressed with the availability, promptness and professionalism and we will definitely use again."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Soft water is better for your hair. The minerals in hard water can impact hair in a number of ways. It can cause the hair to dry out and become brittle, and it can require you to use more shampoo to get a good lather. The hard water may leave a film on the hair and scalp from mineral buildup, which may also cause some irritation.

Most of the U.S. has hard water, especially across portions of the West and Midwest. The areas with the hardest water include parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Illinois, North and South Dakota, Ohio, and New York. You’ll find soft water in parts of New England, the Southeast, the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii.

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.

No, a water descaler won't descale pipes. The charged water running through the pipes may very slowly dissolve mineral deposits and hold them inside the water, but it's a very gradual process. If your pipes do need descaling, it's much better to get a local plumber to descale your pipes.

Water softeners have many benefits. The most important one is converting previously hard water—water with too many minerals—to more usable, easier water. When we say easier water, we mean water that’s easier to digest, less harsh on skin and clothes, and builds up less in the water system. Softer water may lead to lower energy costs and will extend the lifespan of all appliances that use water.
