Water Softener Installation
in Franklin, TN

WHAT WE DO

Professional Water Softener Installation by The Hot Water Heater Pros

Water hardness varies from place to place, but in Middle Tennessee, moderately hard water is very common. Hard water contains a high level of minerals like calcium and magnesium. It’s not dangerous to your health, but it can be tough on your plumbing, appliances, and even your skin and hair, making it dry. At The Hot Water Heater Pros, we offer professional water softener installation to help protect your home.

Our team will assess your water quality, recommend a system that fits all your needs, and handle the entire water softener installation – from setup to testing, so you don’t have to worry about anything at all.

WHY IT MATTERS

Benefits of Installing a Home Water Softening System

Softer skin and hair. Installing a water softener reduces dryness and irritation caused by excess minerals in hard water.
Fewer plumbing problems. It helps prevent mineral buildup that can clog pipes.
Longer-lasting appliances. Dishwashers, water heaters, and laundry machines perform better and last longer with softer water.

Cleaner dishes and laundry. Say goodbye to stiff towels and spots on glasses.
Better tasting water. Installing a water softener can improve the smell and flavor of your tap water.
Lower energy bills. Installation of a water softener reduces scale buildup in your water heater allowing it to run more efficiently.

WHAT WE DO

How to Know If You Need a Water Softener in Your Home

Not sure if you need a water softener? There are a few things that can hint at hard water. If you notice white, chalky buildup on faucets or showerheads, that’s likely mineral residue from hard water. Dishes that come out of the dishwasher cloudy or with spots are another clue.

You might also feel like soap doesn’t lather well or that your skin feels dry and itchy after a shower. Laundry can come out stiff or look faded over time. If your water heater or appliances seem to wear out faster than they should, hard water could be the cause. A simple water test can confirm it – if you’re seeing these signs, it may be time to consider a water softener system installation.

Steve and Cole were excellent! I am pleased with my new hot water heater. They had a tight space to work in and although it made me feel bad for them they didn’t mind. My old water heater was not up to code either and I had no idea. It is always a good idea to have professionals complete a job, you get what you pay for.

The technician that worked on my tankless water was Steve, and he was amazing. Diagnosed the problem quickly and went above and beyond to get my problem fixed in the most cost effective way possible. These guys will definitely be my first call on any water heater issues I have in the future!

We had a very good experience from quotes to installation. They were very responsive and quick to come take a look at our old water heater and placement and walk us though options. Both Cole and Kevin were honest, kind, and thorough when looking at options for normal vs tankless water heaters and if moving them to the garage was a better option. They were in and out quickly when installing and didn’t complain once about carrying a very heavy tank up and down stairs. A new water heater isn’t necessarily the thing you want to spend money on as a homeowner, but they made it easy, reasonable, and pleasant which eased the financial blow:)

Chris and his crew did an amazing job installing our new tankless hot water heater. They were professional, knowledgeable and thorough from beginning to end of the install. They took time to explain the process of the install, from start to finish; and once completed showed me what they did and how everything works. I would definitely recommend them. Thank you so much!

Our hot water heater blew up after 5P on a Friday. We called The Hot Water Heater Pros since they had installed it 3 yrs ago, & it remained under warranty. They found our records, came by to confirm that repair was not possible, & scheduled the replacement installation for Monday. Cole, the technician arrived early for the appointment, efficiently installed the new tank with care & precision. We had to pay $600 for labor, which I disagree with but paid; you’d have to pay more to start fresh with a new vendor. But out of warranty, I’ll hire the company that truly honors the warranty and does not charge labor under warranty. They do exist, so ask about this when replacing a heater that’s not under warranty. Again, the technician was AWESOME!

The Staff at The Hot Water Heater Pros , are just that “PRO’s”.
Everyone is so prompt and professional . I emailed them about 8am and they were here by 930 to fix my Water heater issues. Folks , you cannot beat that kind of service anywhere , especially in the kind of weather we were having with icy streets and snow.

These guys are AMAZING! We lost our tankless water heater in the ice storm. They came out at 7 PM and put a new one in for us. They did an amazing job, gave us a great price, and got us going quick. Both of their installers were top-notch PROs and super nice guys. They care about their work and their customers and it shows. I literally could not recommend this company more.

The Hot Water Heater Pros came out for a couple of jobs. They replaced my water heater and came out a couple of days later to replace the pressure regulator and some corroded. Their communication and timeliness was great, and they did a thorough job. I also appreciate their up front pricing.

You guys are the BEST! Your techs were insightful, friendly, and walked me through the best ways to care for my tankless hot water heater. In today’s world it’s very hard to find home improvement companies that are honest and trustworthy. I feel like I found a true gem in The Hot Water Heater Pros. I will be signing up for your yearly service.

I reached out to them on a Saturday when other places wouldn’t answer the phone. My water heater is only 2 years old, and the flame kept going out. Over the phone they walked me through trying to find issues that might be the reason, and it turns out the painters working on my house had covered the vent with a plastic bag. it was pushing the water heater flame out. Problem was fixed in minutes once I removed the bag. Very nice and honest people. I will be switching to them as my normal go to plumber for all other house issues.

My technician was on time and quick to determine that a plumber who did some work this past week shutoff the power to our water tank. Service charge was fair and advised to check water in 2 hours and if there were any problems to get back in touch. No phony analysis of needing repairs or a new instant hot water tank. Will definitely call them again for any future problems

I called Sunday when our water heater stopped working. Steve was very friendly and the technician came first thing Monday morning and completed the repair quickly and efficiently. Thank you for such quick service, excellent work, and being so responsive and quick, especially on the weekend. They even identified some prior install issues from the previous installation company and we had this work done as well. Thank you!

On Oct. 22nd we discovered our 16 year old water heater was leaking. We researched local companies, compared pricing, and after speaking with a representative of a gas company we selected “Hot Water Pro’s”, as hot water tanks is their core competency. I spoke with Chis at “Hot Water Pro’s” on Oct 22nd @ 1pm and on Oct. 23rd @ 11:45 am our professional grade hot water tank was installed. We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience.

Steve came out and quickly gave me an honest assessment of my heater, laid out all available options for me within my budget, and I had a new system up and running within 2 days of my initial call. The professionalism, and the honesty/transparency with which Steve worked, was some of the best I have experienced in this industry. Very much recommend using these guys if you are reading these reviews trying to decide which company to go with. You won’t regret it.

I called late on a weeknight after my hot water heater failed. My call was answered right away. They were able to give me a quote over the phone based on the size and type of water heater I had and I was scheduled for the next morning for install. They arrived on time and finished within a couple hours. Very thankful for their quick and responsive service

This is the best water heater experience I have ever had! After being quoted an exorbitant amount by another company to replace my water heater, I was recommended The Water Heater Pros and they came in with a much better price, much better customer service and not trying to sell me on stuff I didn’t need! They were in and out in less than a hour and I cannot recommend them highly enough!

We have had nothing but good experiences with The Hot Water Pros of Franklin. They did a tankless water heater replacement for us while we were out of town and everything went smoothly. There were a few things that needed attention afterward, and they promptly showed up to fix them. A few months later, we had a recurring issue and they came in an hour after I called them to fix it. Highly recommend.

Chris returned my call promptly, answered my questions and scheduled a visit quickly for first thing the next morning. He arrived promptly on time. Given the age of my existing hot water heater (+15yo) replacement required. He was very patient to walk me through the replacement options and answer my questions to help me choose the best fit solution. Replacement was reasonably priced and available immediately to be installed. In fact, I advised Chris that I had an appointment out of the home later this morning and he began the uninstall of old unit right away, while a colleague dropped off the new unit, to help best accommodate my schedule! New unit installed, Chris walked me through the warranty information and various parts of new unit and his installation. Work area left clean and tidy – all done quickly and I was on time for my appointment as well! Very good experience from start to finish! (Even handyman here doing repair work on the deck was impressed! 😁) Thanks for making what could have been a very stressful situation, as painless as possible.

Outstanding service and quality of installation.
Initially there was a minor installation issue with the first tank they installed. I called and spoke with Eric who manages the installs. He took a look at a photo of the install and immediately said they would fix it (not even a hint of pushback). The next day a service tech came out and installed a completely new 50 gallon tank. The next time I have to replace a hot water heater I’m definitely calling the Hot Water Heater Pros, they’ve earned my trust.

Whew!
As usual, our 8 year old unit failed just before the holiday weekend. After reading numerous reviews, I chose this company. The owner was so patient with my questions over the holiday and I completely respected that his team had the weekend off. Very class act in this day and age.
But, as of 11am Monday morning, we have a beautifully installed heatpump water heater. Hoping for some electricity savings! Thanks to Steve and Cole!! Thank you so much!!

The install was quick. The price was competitive. I did have a small issue with a noise after running water. The guys had to come out a few times to resolve the issue (due to me not being able to reproduce it while they were here), but they did fix the issue once they could hear what I was hearing. They were always prompt, kind, and took the time to explain everything to me. I HIGHLY recommend this company!

These guys are literal life savers. We were getting the run around from other big name plumbers and had been out of hot water for 3 days. My husband talked to Chris at The Hot Water Heater Pros and he ordered the part we needed, got it next day and installed the day he got the part. Thank you guys so much you took a ton of stress off of my shoulders. I will be using them in the future and recommend them to anyone with hot water heater issues.

These guys provide great service .When I discovered one day that our water heater was no longer heating water I knew we needed to replace our system and I wanted a top quality tankless system.
After I did a lot of research I was able to connect with The Hot Water Heater Pros. I called them mid-day and they were able to schedule an appointment to come out that afternoon. They confirmed the problems with my old system. Then they reviewed with me several different systems . I made my choice accepted the quote they provided and they were back to install my new unit the very next morning. The system works great !!
I highly recommend THE HOT WATER HEATER PROS

Our water heater went out on a Friday afternoon. After calling several companies, The Hot Water Heater Pros was the only one that could be out early Monday to replace it. They gave me a quote over the phone and it ended up being the final price. Extremely transparent on pricing.

The small crew arrived on time and quickly assessed that the standard heater they had brought would not fit properly. After a quick phone call, they walked me through a few alternatives that will work. After making a decision, one member left to get another heater while the other removed the dead one.

The guys were very courteous, did a great job, and left the area cleaner than they found it. They walked me through what to expect and told me to call if I had any issues.

I will be recommending these guys to anyone that has a need!

I have worked with these guys for our house and our rental property and they are fantastic. Two nights ago our tenant called at 8:45 pm to say that the water heater was leaking badly. I left a voicemail for the water heater pros at 8:50 PM. At 6:45 AM the next morning I had a text and an appointment and the whole thing was resolved by 11 AM. They also installed a tankless heater at our primary residence with the same degree of responsiveness and quality. Spectacular service. Highly recommend.

I had water running from my broken water heater and once these guys found out that I had water running they figured out a way to get to me same day. I really appreciated this, not only because the water was running but the next day I would be in bed for a night shift and it would be hard to sleep with water heater installation just below my bedroom, or at least I figured. These guys were neat and clean about their work, fast, installed what I think is a good brand of water heater after some research, and were quite reasonably priced. We had to pay with two different debit cards and they figured out a way to make it work. Everything about my experience was great. Highly recommend these guys.

Without a doubt the best service company to work with! I’ve been a hime owner for 40years and knew the price I got from another company was way out of line. I found The Water Heater Pros through a Google search and they quoted me over the phone and next day installed it!! Excellent price and service!! They were kind gentlemen and respectful of my home.
Highly recommend !!

Very impressed with every aspect of this company. I requested some information and the owner, Eric, responded immediately. And after I sent him a photo of my existing water heater, he gave me a firm quote and scheduled me for a few days later.
The installation was schedule for 11:00am and the crew were here within a couple of minutes of the schedule. The job was done quickly, with the upmost professionalism, and cleaned up before they left (with the old water heater). All in all, I could not be more satisfied with The Hot Water Heater Pros!

Wow! It is so rare to be impressed with a service provider these days but The Hot Water Heater Pros really delivered! Thank you so much for your excellent communication, stellar customer service, ease of scheduling, and fantastic work. They handled a warranty issue for us and quickly and efficiently replaced our water heater in the quickest and most affordable way possible. I highly recommend them.

From the initial phone support to the service call, everyone I worked with was knowledgeable and attentive, and were very open about the process, pricing and my options.

A different company had previously just looked at my water heater and quoted a high price for replacement, while this crew took the time to diagnose the actual condition, and then give me a set of well-explained options. They also educated me on how to maintain the system to avoid potential issues going forward. To me, this built a lot of trust, and speaks volumes to their integrity.

My follow-up questions were also handled very graciously, and I appreciate how helpful and personable the entire experience was.

Thanks Hot Water Heater Pros!

Great experience with Steve and Chuck from The Water Heater Pros! Called this morning at 7:15am to deal with a water heater leak I discovered last night. They were to my house before 8am and immediately diagnosed the problem. My inner tank was leaking and needed to be replaced. They ran to Nashville and back to get a replacement and had everything installed and back up and running by 11:15am. Amazing!! They were both very personable and were helpful in explaining what needed to be done and what they were doing along the way. Also gave me some things to look out for going forward. 100% would recommend!

FAQs About Water Softener Installation

How much does water softener installation cost?

The cost of water softener installation can vary based on factors such as the type of system, brand, and complexity of the installation. On average, water softener installation can range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars. For a water softener with installation, the total cost typically includes both the unit and professional installation service. For commercial water softener installation, the price may be higher due to the larger scale and additional system requirements.

Can I install a water softener myself?

While it is possible to install a water softener yourself, it is recommended to hire a professional water softener installation company. Proper installation ensures that the system works efficiently, avoids plumbing issues, and can extend the life of your water softener system. Additionally, incorrect installation can lead to costly repairs or water quality issues down the line.

Do you have to be a plumber to install a water softener?

You don’t necessarily have to be a plumber to install a water softener, but some plumbing knowledge is helpful. Installing a water softener requires connecting the system to your home’s plumbing, which can be complicated if you’re not familiar with water systems. Hiring a professional water softener installation service ensures the job is done correctly and safely.

How long does the installation of a water softener take?

The installation of a water softener typically takes between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the system and your home’s plumbing. Water softener systems installation may take longer if additional plumbing work is required. For a more seamless experience, it’s best to hire an experienced water softener installation company. The time it takes can be influenced by the following factors:

• The type of water softener system being installed.
• The complexity of connecting the system to existing plumbing.
• The need for additional plumbing or electrical work.
• The experience and efficiency of the installation team.

What should I consider before installing a water softener?

Before installing a water softener, you should consider the size of your household, the hardness of your water, and the type of water softener system that best suits your needs. Additionally, think about the space available for installation and whether you want to handle the installation yourself or hire a professional for water softener and installation services. For commercial applications, it’s important to consult experts in commercial water softener installation.

Where to install water softener?

The best place to install a water softener is near the main water supply line, before the water reaches your water heater, plumbing fixtures, and household appliances. This allows the system to treat the water as it enters your home and helps protect your pipes, water heater, dishwasher, washing machine, faucets, and other fixtures from hard water buildup.

Common water softener installation locations include a garage, basement, utility room, crawl space, or an area close to the water heater. The location should have access to the main water line, a nearby drain, an electrical outlet, and enough space for maintenance and salt refills.

A professional plumber can inspect your home’s plumbing layout and determine where to install a water softener for the best whole-home water treatment performance.
