"Long Holiday Weekend and my hot water heater quit. We had just moved in too. That should have been caught in inspection. Oh well. By chance we had HVAC repair scheduled and they offered to look at the water heater, but My Guy already squeezed us into his schedule. I'm so glad he did. His price came in lower than the HVAC service person's quote. My Guy provided options for repair vs replacement. Knowledge is power, and I feel we were given all the information up front. We opted to replace. He showed us how to operate the water heater and told us the schedule for maintenance to get the longest use of our new water heater. I highly recommend My Guy. We'll have him back again when we replace the sink and dishwasher."
"6 stars across the board. Helped me immediately, looked at every option to remedy my gas hot water heater. ? Impressed and relieved to take a hot shower tonight. Thank you especially to Bobby and Marcus for being so kind and knowledgeable."
"Jake Nordmeyer with Northern Water and Power is awesome! He is the most experienced well and pump service company I know. I would highly recommend to all my friends and family! His attention to detail and willingness to help customers quickly and after hours was much appreciated!"
My son-in-law installed a new faucet I had purchased a couple years ago, but never installed. He did a great job but when he turned it on the water just trickled out. He was unable to determine the problem so I called Noble Plumbing. I found his listing on Angie's List.
He was able to find that the hose running through the faucet was plugged with something, clear it, and put it back together. It works great now. He even found a leaking supply line and replaced it.
I asked him if he had time for another small job, fixing the loose faucet on my jetted tub. The only access was through an access under my sink. It was a very tight squeeze and around plumbing lines, but he was able to get it tightened and working fine.
He is great to work with and very professional at his job. He did great work.
"I had a water softening system installed. They were thorough in their evaluation and pricing and the installation went quickly and smoothly. We're very pleased with the work, workmanship and product."
"The tech showed up as promised and had provided me with a notification that he was on his way. He spent considerable time trying to locate the problem with the water pipes. Ultimately he determined that there wasn't a significant problem, but did recommend a permanent solution to the issue. He provided me with an estimate to take care of the pipe issue and additional estimates for two other projects that need to be done in the house. I was very happy with the entire process."
"From start to finish Plumbline Pro is amazing. He walked me through all the parts needed. But never felt once I was being upsold or lied to. He's right to the point no nonsense. I hope I don't ever need to call him but I know that he is reliable and will be there if I need help at any time."
A good hardness level for drinking water can vary based on personal preferences, but an ideal level is 3.5 to 7 GPG. This means your water isn’t soft or hard. However, some people prefer the “fresh” taste from the minerals in hard water, while others like the smoother, “slippery” texture of soft water.
The average cost to install a water softener, including the system and labor, is approximately $1,500. However, the total price can range widely from $600 to $6,000. For some complete systems, the cost may be between $800 and $2,500. Labor for the installation typically costs between $150 and $1,000.
The final price is influenced by several factors, including:
System type, capacity, and complexity
Home size and household water demands
Water hardness levels
Accessibility of the installation site and the extent of plumbing work required
Whether new electrical work is needed
The professional hired and any local permit costs
Water softeners have many benefits. The most important one is converting previously hard water—water with too many minerals—to more usable, easier water. When we say easier water, we mean water that’s easier to digest, less harsh on skin and clothes, and builds up less in the water system. Softer water may lead to lower energy costs and will extend the lifespan of all appliances that use water.
Because it’s been through the water cycle, evaporating and becoming slightly acidic thanks to dissolved carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, rainwater tends to be naturally soft compared to groundwater, which has just been in contact with limestone. However, the natural hardness level of water always depends on where you are and other factors.
Yes, you can have both a water softener and a water filter. In fact, some manufacturers sell dual water softening and filtration systems that treat hard water and provide clean drinking water. If you’re unsure about what you need or want to discuss your options, reach out to a local water softener installation company.
