FAQs
-
Do You Have Hard Water in Your Home?
Your water supply likely contains a measure of minerals like calcium, magnesium, and more. In small quantities, minerals are fine and can actually improve your water. However, depending on where you live and your water supply, too many minerals can cause hard water.
Signs of hard water include:
- Soap scum buildup in showers and sinks
- Dull lifeless hair and dry skin
- Spotty, filmy dishes after washing
- Reduced efficiency of appliances
If these issues sound all too familiar, you are likely dealing with hard water. Our water softener systems will alleviate these nuisances. We’re here to ensure that your water is as pure and pristine as the Pine Tree State.

Maine’s diverse ecosystem produces diverse water conditions. We can run a comprehensive test on your water quality to determine the specific minerals and hardness we’ll need to address. Once we understand your situation, you’ll enjoy the following benefits:
Healthier Skin and Hair: Soft water is gentler on your body. If you deal with dry skin, soft water can help! You’ll also enjoy softer, more lustrous hair with soft water.
Prolonged Appliance Life: Soft water prevents scale buildup in pipes and appliances. You’ll see increased lifespan and efficiency from anything that uses or comes in contact with your home’s water.
Tastier Food and Drink: Soft water is usually considered superior for cooking and drinking. Without the high mineral content, you’ll enjoy some new flavors afresh.

When my AC quit suddenly, Heritage came in a timely fashion and did an excellent job. The four gentlemen who helped me were professional and knowledgeable. Joe diagnosed the problem and was very thorough in explaining the cost of repair versus replacement. Bobby, Harrison and the electrician Liam did the replacement and were wonderful to work with. They explained the process carefully, answered all my questions and completed the job efficiently and quickly. I would certainly call the company again for any HVAC, plumbing or electrical needs. Thanks Heritage!

First time using Heritage, as two other plumbers I’ve used in the past gave me long lead times. Heritage answered my call personally, and scheduled me same day-amazing considering it was a Saturday! I had a leaking outdoor spigot, and given the drought, waiting a week to fix it was out of the question. The technician sent out, James Shallow, could not have been more professional, knowledgeable and personable. He showed up on time, did the job seamlessly and without issue. He spent time educating us as to how to avoid this problem in the future, and it was a genuinely pleasant experience. I will most definitely use & recommend Heritage again (request Jimmy).

Alex came to fix a water main leak at my home which was pre-manufactured in the late eighties. He found and fixed the leak quickly. After the job was complete I spoke with him about the cause because this is the third time in a year with a leak. He spent the time with me explaining the material used for piping in my place and checked the water pressure. The pressure was on the high end and we both concluded between pressure spikes and old plastic pipes. I asked for an estimate to replace all the pipes. He was able to give me an estimate on the spot and found financing with very reasonable terms. Two days later Heritage Home Services was here with two trucks and completely changed out the piping in a day. In short. This place answers the phone. Gets technician on the job quickly. Great knowledge. Cleaned thoroughly before leaving.

We called several plumbers and I got “we are too busy” and “it’s too small of a job”. Not with heritage though! They were able to get us on the schedule in a timely manner and helped us with our plumbing issue. Thank you Zach! Zach was quick and professional! Will definitely use again!

I’ve dealt with Heritage for many years because of their dependability. They are not the cheapest, for sure, but if you need a plumbing or HVAC system installed or serviced/repaired, there’s none better. I needed repairs to be done on slim duct covers that were damaged after having siding installed on my home. I called Heritage because they were the company that installed the original mini-split system in my house several years earlier. John Lindonen and another technician (unfortunately, I don’t remember his name) showed up as committed and did the repair work. They were very thorough, explaining every issue to me and answered all of my questions. They were polite, and extremely knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys to my family or friends.

The AI interactive was ok but screwed up my ph# so never got a call. However, Camile arrived and spent time discussing my points and activities performed, helped me tremendously and ultimately didn’t need service. He was professional, informative, and transparent so Heritage, please acknowledge his great service!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do I know if my Maine home has hard water?
Signs of hard water include white scale buildup on faucets and showerheads, spots on dishes after washing, dry skin and hair, stiff laundry, and reduced water flow from mineral deposits in pipes. Heritage can test your water hardness and recommend the right softener system.
-
What are the benefits of a water softener?
A water softener extends the life of plumbing, water heaters, and appliances by preventing scale buildup. It also improves soap effectiveness, leaves skin and hair softer, reduces fixture spotting, and can lower energy costs by keeping your water heater free of mineral deposits.
-
What types of water softeners does Heritage install in Maine?
Heritage installs salt-based ion exchange softeners, salt-free water conditioners, and dual-tank systems for high-demand households. Our team tests your water and recommends the system that best fits your home’s water quality and usage patterns.
-
How often does a water softener need maintenance?
Water softeners require periodic salt replenishment and occasional brine tank cleaning. Heritage recommends annual professional inspections to ensure the system regenerates properly and operates efficiently.
-
Can a water softener work with a water filtration system?
Yes. Many Maine homeowners combine a water softener with a filtration system. The softener removes hardness minerals while the filter addresses other contaminants such as iron, sediment, or chlorine. Heritage can design a combined treatment solution for your specific water quality.
