Customers say: Quality work

"I had just purchased a house with water supplied from a well. The iron content and hardness of the water is very high. I run aquariums so I had performed my own water tests. They came out, analyzed the water, and confirmed my own tests. They installed an iron filter, water softener, carbon filter, and (my own supplied) UV system. They were quick to perform the job and were very thorough. The installation looks great, and the water is clear and doesn't leave a residue anymore. They looked at the water lines they removed and they were filled with iron residue. I'm confident I made the right choice."

"Everything went great! We tried to see if we can fix the problem but we were unsuccessful. So we got on Angie’s list and we hired Mr. Rooter Plumbing. The technician came in, found the problem and fixed it right away. We will most definitely hire Mr. Rooter Plumbing for any of our plumbing needs. Thank you so much Mr. Rooter Plumbing Service for helping and fixing our hot water tank problem."

"From my initial contact with Logan, to the professional salesman, Aaron Faughn, who came to my house and took his time making sure I completely understood everything, Logan was out to impress with their product, their team, and their family run company! A very respectful, polite and knowledgeable young man, Garrett Webb, installed most of the work and did a amazing job in a very tight space. Logan made my nail biting decision to replace my furnace, air conditioner and hot water heater( all at the same time!!) a painless process. Being in Customer Service most of my life, I can appreciate great customer service when I am on the receiving end of it. Friendly, thorough, professional, respectful, and careful to respect my home, I was impressed every step of the way! Knowing Logan will still be in business when I go to sell my house 10 years from now played a big part in my decision too."
Logan A/C & Heat Services offered value, competitive pricing, top of the line Trane equipment, nice financing options that other companies did not offer. Dan was my sales rep that offered the above services. Bobby was the installer & was professional & did a great job. Install was scheduled on a Monday after I committed on a Friday; so very quick! Trane 20XV & Trane XC95m.

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

It depends on the type of surface. For instance, if you’re trying to get rid of hard water deposits on glass, you can spray vinegar onto the surface and wipe it off with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. However, if the deposits are on granite or natural stone, it’s better to use baking soda and water rather than vinegar or other acidic cleaners.

Installing a water softener could help reduce calcium buildup in your pool if your pool has high calcium hardness as a result of hard drinking water in your home. Pool softeners work by exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, so if you use softened water to top off your pool, it may help keep calcium hardness from rising over time. However, it won’t lower the calcium hardness of the water already in your pool and isn’t a practical way to control pool calcium levels. The average water softener installation cost is between $200 and $6,000.

The primary difference between a water softener and a water filter lies in what they remove from the water. A water softener is designed to remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. In contrast, a water filter has a broader effect, removing various contaminants above a certain size, which can include bacteria and other impurities.

To decide which you need, consider your goal. If you want to eliminate hard minerals, choose a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, a filter is the better option. Filters are also generally less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply, you may need to install both for comprehensive treatment.

While it depends on how complicated the unit and installation is, it takes two to four hours to install a water softener unit, on average. It might take longer if pipes need to be replaced. You should make sure the installation area is clear of any objects that might get in the way before you begin.

Whether you need a permit or license for a water softener installation depends on your location, as requirements vary significantly. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, some mandate a permit and an inspection, and others require both. In some areas, no special permit or license is needed at all.

To determine the rules in your area, you can contact your local building department or consult a local water softener installer or plumber. Often, only certified professionals are authorized to pull the necessary permits, and they will typically handle the entire permitting process 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 Angi’s state licensing tool to check an installer’s license status.
