"We had a whole house water system installed in October'25. The installers were very professional and the quality was top notch. Having a well with hard water, this system was a must, and we couldn't be happier with the results."

"Bennie Bittle was in the area, when he stopped by my home. His source for electric water heaters was near by, as well. He, and his assistant son, were professional and good communicators. They took out my old electric water heater, and replaced it with a new one, on the very morning that I listed with Angi."

"It is a privilege to give William Parrish Plumbing my highest recommendation. Our project included drain/flush of a tank-less hot water system and repair of a cracked toilet valve. The work was performed by Pedro who was personable, knowledgeable, and a true craftsman at his trade. He presented several work options so I could pick the service best meeting my needs. Pedro was efficient and extremely clean. You can't go wrong with these guys."

"We got a water softener installed when we moved in 2 years ago and they showed up when promised and did a great job installing it and explaining the machine to us. During a winter freeze we had a piece break and they quickly came out to replace it for free under the warranty. Great work and great customer service."

"WOW! I am so impressed with the installation and quality so far from this product. I chose them because of the Kinetico reputation for water softeners and because I immediately liked Brandon in sales. The installation with Mark was no less excellent. They sent me a former Marine for install! I could not ask for any better than that. I have had issues with high Iron, Calcium, and Magnesium for 15 at this house in Hillsborough, NC. I am hoping this new system with help with a bladder condition I developed 7 years ago, Interstitial Cystitis - no one knows what causes it but some suspect bad well water. Keeping my fingers crossed, but at any rate I LOVE having clean and non-hard water now. I am beyond pleased with this company. Brandon and Mark are awesome, professional, patient, kind, and thorough, and I suspect others there are too. I truly enjoyed their company and they are quality guys. THANK YOU."

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.
