Serving the Greater Kansas City area, every job, big or small is important to us as we focus on customer care and reliability. Midwest Heating Cooling & Plumbing is a family owned and operated business, taking pride in our reputation of quality and dependability from repeat business, client recommendations and of course new clients. It has been our pleasure to provide heating and cooling services to both home and business owners for fifty years. Free estimates on replacements. Nate certified service technicians. Additional ph#: 816-943-8400.
"Midwest replaced my 23 year old Lennox home HVAC system with a new, top of the line, high efficiency, Lennox system for a reasonable price. I was impressed with the fast, free, custom tailored, detailed estimate, the ability to have the new system installed within just a couple of days, and the speed and quality of the installation team. The estimator (Tom) arrived just two hours after I called, was very personable, very knowledgeable, and helped me select the right components at the right price (with guidance about unit costs, efficiencies, energy savings, rebates and tax credits) to match my criteria. I liked that he had many years of experience, and he went above and beyond to make sure my new system (which replaced a broken system) was installed before an upcoming cold blast. I received two other estimates, and they did not go near as well, with a generic good, better, and best high priced estimate (without input from me) from one company, and another company selling only units from lower quality manufacturers. The installation team started at 8:30 am, and went right to work. They also had many years of experience, and were ready for my walk-thru at 3:00 pm. They did a great job in a short time. Nice! Overall, I can highly recommend Midwest for home HVAC system installations."

Locally owned and operated. Licensed and insured, 20 yrs of references.
"I should have listened to other reviews. Seems they are really great with some people, but others leave feeling ripped off. I was in the latter group. Paid $4,000 for "plans" that are incomplete and worthless. We told them our budget was $35,000 for a remodel job. They said they could do it for that, but then only produced floor plans (without engineering, plumbing, or material cost) and refused to get started until we approved just the floor plans. After clicking approval for the floor plans, they gave an overall estimate for $73,000. They refused to ever give a cost itemized. When we asked for them to fix the plans, they refused saying we agreed to the plans. So basically they charged us a ton of money to draw up plans for a $35,000 budget, wouldn't give us complete plans, and then said it would be twice that much to do what they drew up. I'd call that a clear case of bait and switch. I can't say they will treat you like they treated us, but if our experience is what they do even a 10th of the time, you've got to ask yourself if you'd risk paying for something that is worthless only for them to tell you that it would cost you twice as much as you can afford."

Water softeners consist of three main components: a mineral tank, a brine tank, and a control valve. In some smaller units, the mineral tank and brine tank are combined into one cabinet.
Professionals install whole-home systems at the point of entry of the main water line. Smaller units are installed under sinks or near a washer—these units only soften the water for that fixture, not the entire home.
Mineral Tank: Hard water passes into the mineral tank through resin beads, and an ion exchange occurs. Magnesium and calcium ions are exchanged for sodium or potassium ions from the brine tank.
Brine Tank: The brine tank contains sodium or potassium to recharge the resin.
Control Valve: The control valve determines when to clean the resin beads.
Choosing between a salt-based or potassium-based water softener depends on your priorities. Salt-based systems effectively remove hard-water minerals, regenerate efficiently, and are cost-effective. However, they may not be ideal for individuals on low-sodium diets. Potassium-based systems neutralize minerals without removing them and regenerate more frequently. They are more expensive but offer a healthier and more environmentally friendly option. If sodium levels are a concern and cost isn't a major factor, a potassium system may be the better choice.
To calculate your water softener's capacity, determine your grains per gallon (GPG) number by:
Multiplying the number of people in your home by 90. The average number of gallons used per person for washing, drinking, and cooking ranges from 80 to 100 gallons per day.
Multiplying that result by the hardness of your water. The average grains per gallon in the United States is 10 but can range from 0 to 17. You can find your GPG number by purchasing an at-home water testing kit.
Installing a water softener takes between two to four hours on average. The exact duration depends on the complexity of the unit and whether additional plumbing or electrical work is required. If modifications to existing pipes are necessary, installation may take longer. Preparing the installation area by clearing any obstructions can help streamline the process.
Water softeners can last up to 25 years with proper maintenance and care. The lifespan depends on the type and quality of the unit you choose. Single-tank electric water softeners may last around 12 years, while higher-quality models tend to last longer. Regular maintenance, such as routine inspections and timely replacement of salts or potassium, helps extend the life of your system. Most water softeners require minimal repairs over their lifespan.
