FAQs

  • Water Softener Services in New Hampshire

    When Would a Home Need a Water Softener System?

    A water softener should not be confused with a water filtration system. While a whole home filtration system is an excellent option when dealing with harmful contaminants, water softeners do just what they sound like. A water softener conditions and strips hard minerals from your water. If your water quality results show high PPM (parts per million) levels of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc, you likely have hard water.

  • Benefits of a Water Softener System

    Most public water sources in New Hampshire are not hard enough to be detrimental to your health, but water softener or conditioning systems will decrease common issues caused by hard water such as scaling, staining, and decreased efficiency in appliances such as a washing machine. Depending on whether you source your water from a private well, they can also remove trace metals such as lead, iron, or copper.

  • Types of Water Softener Systems

    Traditional water softeners use mediums such as salt to strip hard minerals from your water, but there are several options now available on the market depending on your specific needs. Here are some examples of what Heritage can provide for you:

    • Ion-Exchange Water Softeners
    • Salt-Free Water Softeners
    • Dual-Tank Water Softeners
    • Magnetic Water Softeners
  • New Hampshire Water Softener System Services

    Water quality and hardness can vary drastically across the Northeast. The best way to know what kind of water you’re dealing with is to have it tested. Whether you’re on public or private water, hardness is typically not treated for.

    That’s why the experts at Heritage offer a complete line of services for your water softener needs such as professional water quality evaluation. If your evaluation determines that you have hard water, our well and water quality team will provide you with a customized solution for your a water softener installation, and let you decide how to proceed. If you already own a softener that may not be working as well as it used to, we also offer water softener repair and maintenance services.

  • What Type of Maintenance Do Water Softener Systems Require?

    Checking salt levels, cleaning the brine tank, and managing salt “bridges” are all common tasks that can be performed by the homeowner. However, if you are uncomfortable working with your system or it hasn’t been working the way it used to, we recommend calling a professional. Less common but serious issues such as iron fouling can occur and cause major problems for your home’s water quality if not dealt with quickly.

    It’s also important to note that just like any mechanical equipment, components that make up your system will experience wear and tear from daily use and should be replaced before an issue occurs. Routine maintenance at least once a year from a licensed provider will prevent this from happening.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Jimmy was on time, explained everything clearly, advised me about best practices with the system, what to look out for, explained how my system was looking, and got it done well. Refreshingly awesome to have someone enter your home who only wants to do good work, treat people well, and be treated the same. I hope Gelinas is doing well by this guy, the combi-boiler guru.

Our kitchen sink began to leak all under the cabinet last night. We got it cleaned up enough to be okay through the night, but as soon as morning came around, we knew we would need a plumber ASAP. So, we looked up plumbers in our area on Angi. Heritage was the first listing that came up. They answered the phone on the first ring, and before we knew it, Noah was at our house. We were amazed at how quickly we were able to get an appointment. He was knowledgeable, very polite and friendly, and he worked quickly and efficiently. He was everything we could hope for. Our new kitchen faucet is beautiful, nothing leaks in the cabinet underneath, and he even fixed our bathroom toilet lickety-split, too. Even better, we were able to schedule Heritage to come tomorrow to look at an outdoor outlet that we’re having trouble with. We are so pleased with everything. We would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of a plumber or the other services Heritage provides. Thank you, Noah, and thank you, Heritage!

Technician George Fiske instructed us on all the things we needed to know about maintenance and functioning of the new to us gas furnace (which is located in the attic). We just moved into this condo and needed this guidance….he also did the same with our central AC, hot water heater and even our Nest thermostat! Very very helpful and George was terrific. Will call Heritage for the plumbing issues we need to address also!

Our water heater began leaking: a less than ideal situation on the best of days. I reached out via Lowes website to get an estimate for replacing the system and ensuring what caused the issue before won’t happen again. Heritage Home Service (contracted with Lowes) reached out the same day to set up an appointment for today. Kevin arrived and assessed what was needed, clearly communicated what would be added and completed, offered fair pricing for the work needed, and even provided information for reasonable payment options. Shortly after, Ryan (our technician) was able to collect the supplies needed and complete the replacement quickly and easily!! It was a last minute request and the effort to fulfill this project is very appreciated!! Thank you Heritage!!

We had our furnace shut down & an old A/C Condenser that needed replacement. Heritage/ Papalia Home Services came out the next day once our decision was made. Carl who met with us for our quote was not only informative but followed through by personally bringing out a changed piece of equipment we needed to complete the job. He was also always at the end of the phone for any questions we had. All the necessary technicians were professional and very nice to deal with. A special shout out to Ben & Matt. A big job well done!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if my New Hampshire home needs a water softener?

    Signs of hard water include white scale buildup on faucets and showerheads, spots on dishes and glassware after washing, dry skin and hair, stiff or dingy laundry, and reduced water flow from mineral buildup in pipes. Many New Hampshire homes, especially those on well water, have elevated levels of calcium and magnesium that a water softener can address.

  • What are the benefits of installing a water softener?

    A water softener extends the life of your plumbing, water heater, and appliances by preventing mineral scale buildup. It also improves the effectiveness of soap and detergent, leaves skin and hair feeling softer, reduces spotting on fixtures and dishes, and can lower energy costs by keeping your water heater free of scale.

  • What types of water softener systems does Heritage install?

    Heritage installs a range of water softener systems including salt-based ion exchange softeners, salt-free water conditioners, and dual-tank systems for high-demand households. Our team will test your water hardness level and recommend the system that best fits your home’s water quality and usage.

  • How often does a water softener need maintenance?

    Most water softeners require periodic salt replenishment and occasional cleaning of the brine tank and resin bed. Heritage recommends having your water softener inspected annually to ensure it is regenerating properly and operating efficiently. Our plumbers can handle all routine maintenance to keep your system running smoothly.

  • Can a water softener be installed alongside a water filtration system?

    Yes. Many New Hampshire homeowners benefit from combining a water softener with a water filtration system. The softener removes hardness minerals while the filtration system addresses other contaminants such as iron, sediment, or chlorine. Heritage can design a combined water treatment solution tailored to your home’s specific water quality.
