"Overall the company is great, very friendly and quick service. I would have liked more of a sales pitch and more details around what exactly I was buying.
I originally wanted to simply move the exhaust pipe that was traveling through a section I was remodeling. After consulting a few plumbers, one of which gave me an estimate of $1400 to move the pipe, I went with Dan's because of their prompt service. They estimated $1650 to completely replace the water heater and route the pipe out the side of the house (forced air). This was fantastic news for my remodeling project, as I needed all the space I could get.
The plumber stopped over on a Wednesday, and I received the estimate on that Friday. I gave them a call on Monday, and was able to schedule the service for Tuesday! Yes the next day!
Just a few things they could improve on. First, I was never told even the brand of water heater I was going to get, when I called and asked how long the warranty was the secretary answered with a and quot;generally with our water heaters it's about 6 yearsand quot;. Not a real solid answer that I was looking for. I usually like to research the products I'm buying, especially ones that will be lingering in my house for several years.
Secondly, the estimate was very generic. It did state that the $1650 covered installing the hot water heater and wiring up an outlet for it. I removed the exhaust pipe and shut down the old water heater for them before they arrived, and they didn't actually have to install an outlet. But I was still charged exactly what the estimate was. It seemed a bit shady to estimate for all this extra work, find out you have to do less and still charge the max amount.
I will go to them again when I need a quick and mostly inexpensive bit of work done. I wouldn't go to them again for the water heater unless they improve their sales pitch. At least give me a few options, and some documentation on the types of water heaters they provide. They probably could have sucked more cash out of me if they gave me a few options (I would have probably bought the most expensive and feature crazy water heater available).

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

If your water softener repair is fairly straightforward, like a simple filter replacement, then you can probably do it yourself with little risk. However, anything beyond a simple fix should be addressed by someone with extensive plumbing expertise to avoid costly water softener problems, like leaks. 

That said, even simple problems can be complicated to diagnose, particularly if your water softener is attached to a whole-house treatment system. So, unless you feel absolutely certain that the problem is an easy fix that you can take on yourself, it's probably best to hire a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.

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.

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

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