Frequently asked questions

There’s often a simpler solution to your comfort problem. Maybe you can find the answer you’re looking for in our FAQ below!

• What is water treatment?

  Water treatment systems or chemicals are designed to eliminate negative traits in potable water. Most homeowners use either a whole-home filter system and water softeners. EIther option is great for filtering out toxins or debris capable of impacting taste, color and even cleanliness.

• Is a whole-house water filter system worth the cost?

  When homeowners live somewhere with more minerals in the water supply, a whole-house water filtration system can be the perfect solution. Installing a water treatment system will be particularly helpful for those living near construction, mining or agriculture industries.

• Should I get a home water treatment system?

  You may want to consider a water treatment system if you’re constantly struggling with soap scum, spotty dishes or bad taste. If you’re not sure, feel free to schedule a free water test from our Experts.

• How does a home water treatment system work?

  Many home filtration products rely on a variety of designs to capture pollutants and sediment. This can mean mechanical filtration, which means sediment and other particles are physically stopped by the treatment system. Mechanical filtration may be used in tandem with a reverse osmosis membrane, another clever design perfect for eliminating organic chemicals and microorganisms. Certain kinds of treatment products even use ultraviolet light for its sanitizing properties.

• How do water softeners work?

  Water softeners utilize a tank filled with special beads of resin to attract and trap the minerals that harden your water, such as calcium and magnesium. Hard water enters the tank, where minerals are gradually absorbed by the beads. The now-softened water is then available for use. These beads won’t always work as efficiently as they did at the beginning, so a salt solution is pumped into the tank. Thanks to the natural process of sodium ion exchange, the sodium molecules displace the minerals from the beads before they are drained from your water supply entirely.

• What’s the best method for treating water at home?

  The ideal water treatment system depends on where you live and your daily water usage. Those with delicate health might do best with a whole-home filtration system, while people frustrated with hard water may prioritize a softener system. The Expert plumbers at Enercare A1 Chesney can help you determine which product(s) would be perfect for your plumbing.

• What is a Diagnostic Fee?

  A diagnostic fee, also known as a service call fee, is a common charge used by HVAC companies once someone is called out to your home to diagnose the root cause of what’s affecting your HVAC system. The service call charge covers the technician’s time, experience and any gas or other travel expenses associated with assessing the problem. It’s in essence a service fee for the technician’s professional evaluation to pinpoint the cause of the malfunction.
   
  It’s like a visit to the doctor’s office. They must do some preliminary tests or an examination to learn more about what’s wrong before proposing treatment. Just the same, your HVAC professional needs to examine your HVAC equipment to decide on the needed repairs or maintenance.
