"While they were very nice, the prices were extremely high!! I had to decline most of the work because it was unaffordable. Even the work I did approve probably should have been quoted at half the price. If money is no object for you then the service is great, but if you are on a budget you should consider a different company."

Residential and business water treatment systems. Water softeners, UV lights. We will analyze your water for contaminants such as chlorine, low pH, iron, bacteria, and devise a system to suit your needs. Treat your water from the source, as it enters your home, so whether you are drinking it, cooking with it or bathing in it, your water is pure.

"The process was quick and easy. I just provided a water sample. It was determined that I had high levels of chlorine in our drinking water. I was able to solve my water problems with only one filter. Why did I wait years to have this done? Now I can be confident that our water is safe. Highly recommended."

Western New York Plumbing Co. was started in 1960. The business was quickly expanded when they were awarded 1970’s apartment projects like Slate Bottom Creek and Garden Village Apartments and as a New Home building boom started in Cheektowaga, Lancaster and Amherst. The company focus shifted to Single Family New Construction where our reputation for quality and innovation evolved. Today, Western New York Plumbing Co Owners Dan Greene & Barrett Greene continue their father’s dream and share the passion for quality product and exceptional service.

"I contacted WNY Plumbing to get an estimate to do plumbing so that I could have a washing machine and laundry sink in my basement. There was no set up for this. The plumber did all the plumbing work including installation of a pump. When they originally gave me the estimate they said the job might take a little less time and if it did the price would be reduced. The plumber was very efficient and organized. This meant my job was done in less time and I paid less than originally estimated. I appreciated the honesty and good work. I would recommend them to others and would use them again."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

To get utilities set up on a property, you first have to contact the local department of planning to determine whether your property is able to connect to public utilities. From there, you can work with a structural engineer and/or a building contractor to design the layout of utility lines on the property. The pros will need this information as they begin securing building permits before they can start adding lines.

If your property isn’t able to connect to public utilities, you’ll need to consider working with pros to develop a comfortable off-grid home that will meet your needs.

It’s not a good idea to oversize your water softener. Doing so will mean the tank doesn’t get full, which can lead to channeling. This leads to a large portion of the resin beads not being utilized and the beads at the bottom of the tank being overused. Over time, this will reduce the efficiency of your system, not to mention that the upfront cost of an oversized softener is unnecessarily high. If you have a timed regeneration cycle rather than a demand-based one, you’ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.

A lower-end water softener would cost around $900, not including installation. Each home has different requirements, water hardness, and number of inhabitants, so there’s a huge range in pricing—$600 to over $6,000. The average water softener repair bill is around $500, meaning it’s a much better option to repair any issues and only replace your softener if absolutely necessary. 

Routine maintenance involves recharging the resin bed with salt or potassium, cleaning components, and periodic inspection.

Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn’t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time.
