"One of the worst experiences I have ever had in my life with a company. They came to install a reverse osmosis system to our House that was to be leased in the following 2 weeks. They left, and after a few hours when we returned to the property. The reverse osmosis system was leaking immensely. It completely flooded our kitchen about quarter of an inch of water. Our kitchen had been recently re-done (finished about 4-5 months prior) and it costed over 25,000 Dollars just on the cabinets and counters. The system flooded at least 4 cabinets. And it went under the cabinets and into the walls. There was already visible damage of warping and expanding from the wood. We kindly requested them to come and fix their problem and pay us for the damaged. This is when they brought in an incredibly rude employee called Randal Booth. He was very rude to me and my wife, he wouldn't let us speak or explain, he tried to diminish the damage, and tried to blame us. My father has been in construction for over 40 years, he works with builders that build custom homes or luxury homes. So he has experience with pricing. We brought a very very very modest quote of repairing the kitching (removing everything, drying the walls, and installing new cabinets, and then re-installing everything else) This meant we had to properly remove the Granit as well as remove all the sink and plumbing and some electrical (because of the oven and gas cook top) on top of we would have needed to remove at least a foot of backsplash plank. Then remove 4 cabinets, and install 4 new cabinets, granite counter again, sink and all plumbing, cooktop and oven, and then backsplash plank, paint and caulk and finish everything. My dad's quote was around 7,500 USD to do everything (including buying new cabinets from American Woodmark, which were the same brand we had recently installed). The quote was modest because he was going to give me a friends and family discount and ask favors to his electricians and plumbers and painter work friends. Randal proceeded to rejected the quote and asked to bring his own licensed contractor. Which we allowed him to do. My father was present when the contractor came in. First of all, the contractor tried to diminish the quality of the cabinets saying that they were cheaply homemade cabinets painted on site. Which was a complete lie. They were purchased at Home depot Bandera and were American Woodmark. I have the receipts (which were sent to Randel but he ignored them) Then the contractor proceeded to say that he would get done the project in a couple of hours, and he said he would just remove the current cabinets without removing anything else and installing them. This would completely risk our kitchen for even more damage. Randel then proceeded to give us a settlement offer of 1900.00 dollars of so. I was not pleased with the offer and I told him just the cabinets alone costed about 450 each and we got them at a sale event in Home depot and with some extra discount percentage because of the credit card. So I told Randel Booth that instead of taking his settlement offer, I would prefer his contractor to come and do the work for the 1900. Then he started stalling and not answering. He asked for proof of the cabinet costs and I sent it, and more stalling happened. Then after like 4 MONTHS of waiting, I contacted The Marketing Manager on Linkedin and made her aware of the situation. Randel emailed me saying he wanted another contractor to come in and get a quote. Which I told him no, he had his opportunity and I didn't want to bother the tenants. All in all its been 6 months we have 4 warped cabinets and Alamo water softeners has fixed this issue. We now will start talking to a lawyer to assess the situation."

As the largest air conditioning company serving San Antonio and the surrounding areas, Beyer Mechanical understands the HVAC needs of South Texas residents and businesses. Whether you’re looking to install a new system, maintain your current system, or repair your AC unit, we are here to help. Our certified technicians will respect your time and home, while performing a series of inspection checks and services. Schedule an appointment online, or simply call us at (210) 656-9027 today! Financing available. Cost is determined by the job.

"Do not use this company for service or installation of your HVAC system. In San Antonio, use ANY OTHER company, there are plenty of much better options out there. Beyer Boys is a complete rip off! Simple repairs = astronomical costs!, company and technicians only interested in raking in $, and promoting annual service plan. Technician disingenuous. Customer service very slow to respond in answering questions about billing. This job was for a simple solenoid failure on the AC unit with a total cost of over $900! The basic 50mf/ 440v solenoid replacement cost $318. Also replaced were the hard start saver $317. and a “2 pole electric connector” at $291. Later after we finally got the itemized receipt (which required several calls to the company before any receipt was emailed), I looked up the cost of these parts. (to buy OEM parts for this unit, they would be less than $30, $135, and $15 respectively). I don't think the technician took enough time to explain the issue with the HVAC unit that needed repair. I think that he replaced more components than were needed to solve the problem. I also felt he was more interested in trying to sell me an annual maintenance plan than addressing the service issue at hand. He kept trying to sell me the annual maintenance plan. After he was working on the unit I asked him if the solenoid replacement alone would have fixed the unit and he said yes, but then also encouraged me to have the maintenance plan. He hinted again that we should have the annual maintenance plan, in saying that the coolant level was low “so the system might not cool as well as expected” That is actually not an issue at all with our HVAC. After the bill of $916.80 was paid for this very basic problem, which took less than one hour for the technician to fix, we never received a bill in the email. I had to call the company to request a bill. They finally emailed the bill, but it was not itemized at all, it just listed the items repaired and the total charge. I called again and requested that they please send me an itemized bill, including the parts cost and labor costs. This time I received an email with the costs as I stated above, but again no separation of parts and labor costs. I called again and asked to get the full b breakdown, but still have not heard back from them. The technicians behavior, the exorbitant charge, the failure to promptly send a receipt, and then once a receipt was received, the additional phone calls to get an itemized receipt, and also to request a breakdown parts vs. labor all makes this feel like a RIP OFF SCAM. If the exorbitantly high cost was the result of some sort of emergency labor fee or something like that I would understand that, BUT BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF TRANSPARANCY, I am left with the impression that this is a serious rip off, and deception in business practice. The behavior of the technician also made the service call feel deceptive, because of the focus on promoting the annual service plan. PICK ANOTHER HVAC SEFVICE COMPANY, there are plenty of options out there."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

You can decide whether you need a water softener or water filter based on how your bathing or laundry experience is. If you notice issues like limescale buildup, dry skin, or stains on dishes—all telltale signs of hard water—you'd likely benefit from a water softener. However, if your main concern is over chemicals or bacteria in your tap water filter, and not just comfort, a filter is a better option.

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.

Hard water doesn’t hurt, but it might feel more abrasive, especially if you have sensitive skin. It’s also about how your skin feels after bathing. You might feel as though you have a sticky film over your body because you do—it’s all that soapy residue left behind because the hard water can’t rinse it off completely.

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.

The best way to soften hard water in the shower is with a water softening system. These whole-home softeners help remove minerals from the water as it enters your home. If you’re looking for a more affordable, shower-specific solution, install a water-softening showerhead to filter water as it’s coming out. With a water softening solution in place, you may find a reduction in mineral deposits as well as cleaner-feeling hair and skin.
