"They were great. They were very prompt when I called them, they responded within a very timely manner, efficient, and professional. I have a little concern about the leak around the floor where the water heater had leaked and I told them about that and he got a plywood to put down over the floor for the water heater to rest on so that it won't go directly on the floor and it would give the floor time to dry and air out and he came out of his way to do it."

"We discovered a water leak on Friday lunchtime. Company was unable to get anyone out to us until Monday afternoon. We understood that it was weekend. Unfortunately by that time the water leak had disappeared and we were having trouble locating again. Hoping and praying it was a very big fluke and we will never see it again! Technician was professional and tried to figure things out but it just wasn’t there 3 days later."

"The representative from Modern Plumbing took pictures, explained possible sources and how to figure out the source from use. Once the source was found, described the repair and had it done in 20 minutes with a minimum of fuss. Very impressed with the detailed explanation throughout this issue. FYI, this was done via my Home Warranty, so the cost is not indicative of the actual charges."

"I've been a Realtor for 18 years. I've never had a better experience with an HVAC company than I've had with Alpine.  We decided on Friday afternoon that I needed a new furnace and duct work, and the job was done by Tuesday afternoon, the day before Christmas!!   My experience with everyone, from the person who diagnosed my problem, to the person who discussed financing with me, to the technicians who installed the system, could not have been any better.
The technicians showed up on time, were extremely knowledgeable and professional, explained everything they did for me, and left the site cleaner than how they found it.  They were very impressive, had great attitudes, and made me feel very confident that the new system will serve me well, and will save me a lot of money in energy bills.
As a Realtor, I take my testimonials very seriously.  I can honestly say that my dealings with Alpine from start to finish were absolutely perfect, and I wouldn't change anything about how it went. I've emailed a testimonial to Alpine, and told them they can have anyone who is thinking of using them, to call me for a reference.  I will refer all of my clients and colleagues to Alpine.  I could not be happier with the job they did for me.

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Yes. To get soft water, you can install a water softening system, which will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium or potassium ions. Water softeners cost anywhere from $200 to $6,000, depending on the size and complexity of the system. You can either install a water softener for the whole house or just at your shower heads. If you’re sensitive to sodium or potassium, you can install a salt-free water conditioner.

Softened water prevents scale deposits, reducing appliance wear, leading to energy savings and longer-lasting household fixtures.

Whether you need a license or permit for water softener installation depends on your location. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, while others may only require a permit and an inspection. In some cases, both a permit and a licensed installer are necessary, and some areas have no requirements at all. Often, only certified plumbers and electricians are allowed to pull the necessary permits. To find out the specific regulations in your area, you can contact your local building department. Alternatively, a local water softener installer or plumber will be familiar with the requirements and can typically pull the permits for you. Regardless of local laws, it is always recommended to hire a licensed professional to ensure the system is sized and installed correctly. You can use tools like Angi’s state licensing tool to verify an installer's license status.

The most effective way to fix hard water in your shower is by installing a whole-home water softening system. This system treats water as it enters your home, removing the minerals that cause hardness before they can reach your shower or any other fixtures. While this is the most comprehensive solution, other methods are often temporary fixes. For a more affordable and shower-specific option, you can install a water-softening showerhead or a shower filter. However, these filters are generally less effective and may not remove all the contaminants that lead to limescale and hard water stains. By implementing a water softening solution, you can expect a reduction in mineral deposits and enjoy the benefits of cleaner-feeling hair and skin.

The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.

Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.
