Thinking about investing in a water softener for your home? The first thing you may be wondering is how much it will cost you. And if you’re looking online, the answers you see may vary drastically, from as little as $500 to as much as $5000 or more. So how much can you realistically expect to pay for a water softener in your home, and why does the cost vary so dramatically? It comes down to many different factors.

Factors that Affect the Cost of a Water Softener

How can one water softener cost $500 and another have you looking at $5000 or more? Here are some of the top factors that influence the price:

  • Size – The size of the water softener will impact the price, with a larger water softener costing more than its smaller counterparts. While you may feel that going with a smaller option will be most cost-effective, it’s more important to choose the water softener that’s the right size for your household to ensure it can operate effectively in your home.
  • Brand – As with most products, there is a wide range of water softening systems currently on the market. A renowned brand with top ratings will cost more than a water softener from an unknown or generic brand. However, you often get what you pay for. For example, at Florida Energy Water & Air, we offer water softeners from the trusted brand RainSoft® because their products are assembled in the U.S. and backed by more than 60 years of research and development. You can be confident that a RainSoft water softener will provide years of reliable and effective performance in your home.
  • Model – Size and brand aren’t the only two options to consider when picking out a water softening system. There are also more models available than ever before. If you want a Wi-Fi-enabled water softener that you can manage from your smartphone, you guessed it – it’s going to cost more than a standard model.
  • Installation – Water softener installation is something that a handy individual may be able to manage on their own. However, most homeowners will likely want to turn to the professionals to ensure it’s done correctly. For the homeowners who choose to install the water softener themselves, the cost will only include the price of the water softener product itself. And of course, if you’re hiring a professional company to handle the water softener installation, you’ll be paying for both the product and the labor.

From what I saw in the beginning and the end, there was a huge difference. It was a job well done. It worth my time and money. And everyone should give it a try.

Kholber P.

Excellent company, thorough, responsive, and all around amazing!! I'm so happy with my new A/C unit, attic turbine, and solar hot water heater. It has already saved me money on my electric bill.

This company worked very hard to remove my very old water heater. They did an excellent job installing my new one. Very professional, and kind. Willing to answer my questions also. Thank you.

Tony, the technician/plumber from Florida Energy Water & Air, was most pleasant, knowledgeable, professional. He arrived on completed the replacement of very old water heater including nearly 100% disappearance of the "knocking noise" in less than an hour, and cleaned up the work area very nicely at the end. I highly recommend his and FEWA to anyone needing these kind of services. Thanks Tony!

My experience with the team at Florida Energy Water & Air has been very positive throughout the whole process. I purchased the water treatment and air purification systems for my new home. Jack, the sales representative, did a very impressive job making the 2-hour demo fun, engaging, and interesting. I had no idea how much time had passed until it was over because he did such a great job keeping my attention. The installation was performed by Robenson a few hours later that same day! He was very professional and did a great job with the installation. I wasn’t a big fan of drilling a hole through my garage to run the water pipe, but he made the hole as small as possible and it looks like the house was built that way. He and his partner did a great job cleaning up after themselves. Finally, John was very friendly, professional, informative, and helpful during the post-installation quality inspection. Overall, it has been a very positive experience.
