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.

    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.

What Our Customers Are Saying

We had a leak that really wanted to be fixed soon, in a 90-year-old valve. The Heritage tech was there in less that 2 hours, it took less than an hour to fix. He was generous with his time explaining things and did a quick eval of the rest of the old pipes. Price was a bit higher than I had expected, but I don’t know what the going rate for plumber visits these days. But then I was glad to have this resolved so quickly.

The technicians were polite and very knowledgeable. They were very thorough cleaning my dryer vent which was a bit of challenge because the vent pipe goes up through the roof. But they got it done and left the laundry room immaculate. I have had my dryer vent cleaned before but never as well as Heritage Home Service.I will gladly hire them again.

Macen came out on a Sunday morning when we had en emergency with our 6 year old water heater, installed and serviced by another business (which never returned my 2 voicemails for an emergency visit they claim to offer) literally bursting at the seams. While I was able to successfully stop the water flow, Macen arrived within an hour of the call, was able to diagnose and offer an immediate fix for the cold water, and schedule a next day appointment for a new water heater with clear pricing for me and my family to understand. Thanks for coming out and we look forward to working with you in the years to come!

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.
