"My experience with this company was not so great. We called them on a Thursday afternoon to come out and look at our furnace which was dripping water. I was thrilled when they said they could come out that same day. The tech arrived and diagnosed our issue very quickly, but the part had to be ordered so they would have to come back the next day to install it. The part was called a collector box and it basically is a large rectangular piece of plastic housing with a gasket that collects condensate. It was leaking from both bottom corners. He quoted us $800 to replace it. I thought that price was kind of steep, but whatever, sure go ahead and get our heat working. The part arrived the next day and the same tech from the previous day arrived shortly after to install. This is where things start to go downhill. After he gets it all buttoned up, he announces that the new collector box didn't come with an exterior gasket. He claimed he couldn't remove the old gasket from the old collector box because it was too deteriorated. The manufacturer doesn't sell the gasket separately, but he'd be willing to replace our perfectly functioning motor (which comes with a new gasket which is what we really needed) for the low low price of $1900 additional dollars. Better yet, he suggested we replace our whole furnace for somewhere in the neighborhood of $6000. He even offered us financing with a monthly payment plan! So an $800 repair has suddenly ballooned into $6000. Something didn't seem right so I did a quick Google search, found the schematic for our furnace, located the part number for the gasket and ordered it online. THE PART COST $6.00!! We advised the tech that we were not prepared to spend such a large sum of money and to please put the old collector box back on our furnace and leave. As it turns out, it was NOT the collector box that needed replacing. The box itself was in great condition. It was the INTERIOR gasket that had worn out and was leaking water. The EXTERIOR gasket that goes between the motor and the collector box did not even need replacing. However for 6 whole dollars plus shipping, we received both gaskets for our unit and our 8 year old furnace is working great now with no leaks. Also the motor that they quoted us $1900 to replace unnecessarily, only cost $125 on the same website brand new with the gasket. I understand there are labor costs involved with any repair, but Christ! And here's the kicker, it's been more than a week since this whole fiasco took place and they haven't refunded our money as of yet. Matter of fact, there was a new charge from them that appeared on our credit card statement today. May have to fight it through the credit card company, who knows. Our basement has constant video surveillance so this was all captured on video. Needless to say, we will not ever call this company again to repair anything and could not in good conscience recommend their service to anyone. Proceed at your own risk."

"EXCELLENT! The pipe clogged on a SUNDAY AFTERNOON, of course. Water was leaking into our basement! I started looking for someone with 24 hour service, and no one could come out. Then I got a call from IL Sewer and Drain. Joe said he could be out in about an hour, it was already after 4:30 pm. He came out, and was able to unclog our pipe! But upon inspection, the pipe needed to be replaced. He was able to schedule it for the next morning! The work took a few hours, but was all finished and cleaned up!

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.
