"Review for Service 1st Pros Heating and Air Conditioning In my hectic and fast-paced life I want to take a few minutes out of my day to share our experience we’ve recently had with Service 1st Pros Heating and Air Conditioning. I want to ensure that I include each of the individuals who demonstrated a level of customer service that was exemplary and professional in every aspect of getting our air conditioner repaired. It is not often in our current economy that we find this kind of customer service from every employee in the business that we interacted with. Our heat pump unit went out on June 30, 2023. When I mean out, that left our home at a steady 86 degrees for eight days. It was unbearable and the Technician who was authorized by our Home Owner’s Warranty company to look at our air conditioning issue stated that the problem was in a freon line going into the external wall and he was not comfortable repairing it. WoW…! My husband searched for and got quotes from several different companies very quickly on line and based upon the number of outstanding reviews, we chose to move forward with Service 1st Pros Heating and Air Conditioning after speaking with the front office personnel, Emma and Lindsay who redirected his call to the appropriate person. Technician Chuck Norris was dispatched to our home on Saturday, July 8, 2023, and verified that the problem was in the freon line and was confident that it could be fixed, but it was later in the day and technicians don’t carry every bit of equipment necessary to fulfill each unique job. He did call into the front office and spoke with Tina to establish a quote. My husband was with him as they spoke in a way that demonstrated her knowledge of these types of jobs, what it required, and how to best get it done quickly. Tina once again demonstrated a sincere concern and commitment to help us get the job done as soon as possible. At the end of the call, my husband had a date of the following Monday, July 10, 2023 for a technician to complete the job. On Monday, Karl Davis arrived promptly as he stated in his text and began the task of repairing the freon line that included welding and fixtures on the external siding. He was very knowledgeable, confident in what he was doing, concerned about the temperature we were living in, but fully committed to getting the job done correctly the first time he did it! After several hours, he came upstairs and looked at the internal air handler and safety switch to ensure that they were all working correctly. Again, this thorough and pro-active approach to repairing our heat pump is not the level of service we experience. Technicians come to fix one thing and don’t look at other indicators of what potential problems could impact the long-term repair of an appliance. We couldn’t be more pleased with our selection of this company as our provider for our air conditioning repair. Every single person we interacted with knew their job well and had an understanding of the bigger picture, thus working together very effectively. We don’t anticipate the need for their service any time soon, but would definitely recommend Service 1st Pros to any of our friends or neighbors!! This company guarantees WOW service and we received that and more!"

Water softener services FAQs

The license requirements for water softener installation depend on your location. Some municipalities require that the installer hold a plumbing license, some require a permit and an inspection, but no license for the installer, and some require a permit and a license for the installer. Regardless of the local laws in your area, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed plumber or installer. These pros will install your system properly and have the experience to size the system appropriately. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your installer’s license status.

The cost to install a water softener system is $1,500 on average, ranging between $200 and $6,000. The labor for water softener work typically costs between $150 and $1,000, so you can add that to your equipment costs to get an accurate total. Your price will depend on many factors, including the following:

  • System capacity 

  • Home size

  • Water hardness levels

  • Type of water softener

  • Presence of electricity in the installation area

  • Local permit costs

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.

It’s possible to install a water softener yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Water softeners require working with copper pipes and electrical wiring, neither are suitable tasks for most DIYers. Plus, working with water and electricity together is dangerous and could pose a risk to your safety. Water softeners also need to be calibrated so that they don’t make your water too soft, as soft water poses just as many risks as hard water. Overall, it’s well worth hiring a local water softener installer to place your water softener system.

Your water softener size is based on your total household water consumption. In most cases, you can assume the average household member will use around 75 gallons per day. Multiply that by the number of people in your home, then multiply by 10 (for the typical grains per gallon). You’ll get a number in grains that should help roughly size your water softener. However, it’s best to hire a professional to install your system and use more exact numbers, like your exact average water consumption per day and starting water hardness.
