I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE SERVICE. I NEED TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY TO SEE IF THE FIX WORKED OR NOT. I APPRECIATE HIM TAKING THE TIME TO PRESENT SEVERAL OPTIONS FOR REPAIR. HE WAS VERY QUICK IN HIS WORK, YET DIDN'T SEEM TO MIND WHEN I ASKED QUESTIONS.
Description of Work: THE GENTLEMAN CAME OUT, PREPARED, AND LOOKED AT THE WATER SOFTENER. WE DISCUSSED CAUSES FOR IT TO MALFUNCTION AS WELL AS POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS. I WAS EDUCATED ON HOW SOFTENERS WORK AND HOW LONG THEY MIGHT LAST. HE PRESENTED SEVERAL OPTIONS FOR REPAIR, I CHOSE ONE AND HE MADE THE CHANGES.

WE WERE EXPECTING TO HAVE TO REPLACE OUR WATER SOFTENER. ELGIN FIXED IT TO WHERE IT IS WORKING BETTER NOW THAN IT EVER HAD BEFORE, AND DID IT FREE-OF-CHARGE. WHEN WE DO NEED A NEW WATER SOFTENER, THEY WILL BE THE COMPANY WE CALL.
Description of Work: OUR WATER SOFTENER HAD BEEN SLOWLY PRODUCING WORSE AND WORSE WATER. IT WAS STILL USING BRINE, BUT THE WATER BEING PRODUCED WAS VERY RUSTY. THE REP. FROM ELGIN CAME OUT AND FIXED THE PROBLEM RIGHT AWAY. SEEMS SOMEHOW A VALVE HAD GOTTEN TURNED THE WRONG WAY. THEY MADE A QUICK ANALYSIS, FIXED THE PROBLEM, CHECKED THE SYSTEM OVER AND MADE SOME ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS. THEY DID ALL THAT, WITHOUT CHARGING US ANYTHING. WE COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH THE QUALITY OF THE WORK OR THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

THEY'RE OK IF YOU DON'T MIND HAVING THEM DELIVER YOUR SALT AND DO THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE FOR YOU THAT ANY HOMEOWNER THEY SEEM TO BE GEARED TOWARD SALES OF SALT AND OTHER SERVICES RATHER THAN SALES OF RELIABLE, SELF-SERVICE UNITS. CAN EASILY DO THEMSELVES. THE UNIT THEY INSTALLED IS NOT DESIGNED FOR EASY HOMEOWNER MAINTENANCE. IN FACT, JUST THE OPPOSITE. IT APPEARS TO BE DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE THE HOMEOWNER TO SIGN A CONTRACT WITH ELGIN FOR SERVICE.
Description of Work: REPLACED FAILED WATER SOFTENER, BUT DIDN'T DISCLOSE ALL THE PERTINENT INFO BEFORE ARRIVING WITH THE NEW UNIT.

THIS COMPANY EVALUATED MY OLD WATER SOFTENER THAT HAD STOPPED WORKING, AND PROVIDED EXCELLENT ADVICE AS TO HOW TO BEST REPLACE IT. THEY WORKED WITH ME, AND WE WERE ABLE TO AGREE THAT USING A RECONDITIONED SOFTENER WOULD BETTER MEET MY NEEDS THAN A NEW ONE. DOUG WAS VERY HELPFUL DURING THE INSTALLATION, HELPED ME WITH A PLUMBING JOB I WAS WORKING ON AT THE TIME, ADVISED ME REGARDING THE CORRECT SALT TO USE AND HOW TO TREAT THE SYSTEM PERIODICALLY TO REMOVE RUST, AND THE BEST LOCATION FOR A DRINKING WATER SYSTEM.
Description of Work: THE COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE REMOVED MY OLD WATER SOFTENER, TOOK AWAY ANOTHER OLD SOFTENER THAT HAD BEEN LEFT IN MY CRAWLSPACE, AND INSTALLED A RECONDITIONED WATER SOFTENER. HE REROUTED PLUMBING AS NEEDED, AND HELPED ME WITH A SINK REPAIR JOB I WAS DOING AT THE TIME.

I FELT LIKE I COULD TRUST THIS COMPANY TO GIVE ME ACCURATE INFORMATION. I WOULD HIRE THE COMPANY AGAIN AND RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE.
Description of Work: WE DECIDED THAT WE WANTED TO HAVE A WATER SOFTENER INSTALLED IN OUR 40 YEAR OLD HOUSE. IT HAD NEVER HAD ONE. WE HAVE HOT WATER HEAT SO THERE ARE PIPES THAT RUN ALL THROUGH THE CRAWL SPACE MAKING THINGS MORE COMPLICATED. WE VISITED THE STORE FIRST TO SEE IF IT WOULD EVEN FIT IN OUR GARAGE. JIM HULL SHOWED US THE POSSIBLITIES FOR OUR SITUATION WITH NO PRESSURE TO BUY. JIM CREAMER CALLED BEFORE COMING FOR THE EXTIMATE AS SCHEDULED, SPENT TIME UNDER THE HOUSE SEEING WHAT ALL IT WOULD ENTAIL. HE CAME AS SCHEDULED THE NEXT WEEK AND WITH A HELPER AND INSTALLED THE WATER SOFTENER WITHIN THE 3 TO 4 HOUR TIME ESTIMATE. THEY WERE PROMPT, COURTEOUS, NEAT, AND EFFICIENT.

HE CHECKED OUR CRAWL SPACE CAREFULLY AND PROVIDED US TWO OPTIONS FOR THE WORK REQUIRED. AN INSTALLER CAME AS SCHEDULED AND COMPLETED THE WORK IN A COURTEOUS AND BUSINESSLIKE MANNER. THE SYSTEM IS WORKING PROPERLY. WE WERE VERY SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE. A THANK YOU LETTER WAS RECEIVED FROM THE OWNER THE NEXT DAY.
