Tony was punctual, professional, knowledgeable and personable. He answered questions about any possible issues. My mother used Universe. And highly recommended them. I’m waiting on 2 more quotes before I make a decision. I’m leaning towards your company, part because of Tony, Cost is also a factor.

I had such a great experience working with this company. Keith and Tim are amazing — professional, knowledgeable, and very helpful in explaining how everything worked regarding our radiant heating system. They were always on time, they kept my family informed through every step of the repair process, and they were incredibly kind. They even let my five year old tag along during some of the repair which made him feel very special (and cool 😂). I cannot recommend them enough. This repair was for a very specific service that not many companies specialize in that hasn’t worked in our house for 10+ years. They fixed it within three days! Thank you guys so much for everything 🙏
Great and knowledgeable professional staff . The service for the Hot water tank was well explained to us.

Universe is pretty good, they were here the next day after calling them to repair my AC unit. The guy Steve is very good at what he does, he came out twice to fix the unit outside and each time he knew exactly what it was and fixed it in no time.

Fabulous service! Called when my deep freezer wasn't working right. They were onsite within an hour and fixed my problem. A++++++!! Highly recommend! 11/6/26 – Dean from Universe is an outstanding tech! He diagnosed a problem that was mis diagnosed by the previous tech. Saved me thousands of dollars!
I responded immediately when you previously requested, and said that the service call was excellent and Jason was a pleasure to deal with.

All four, Chris, Sean, Jake and Carl were all professional and personable. They all were on time and cleaned up after they were done. It was a pleasure to have them take care of our electrical nightmare and install the new plumbing. We would use your company if we have any future projects that need to be done.

Water Softener Installation

Installing a water softener is one of the most effective ways to improve your home’s water quality.

Our team helps you choose a system that fits your household’s size and water usage. We handle the installation from start to finish, making sure everything is set up correctly for reliable performance. Once installed, you will start noticing the difference in your water right away.

Salt-based systems use ion exchange to physically remove calcium and magnesium from your water, replacing them with sodium. They are the most effective option for the hard water conditions common across Long Island homes.

Salt-free systems condition your water without the brine tank or regeneration cycle of a traditional softener. They are a good fit for households that want to address scale without managing salt or draining regeneration water.

Dual-tank softeners deliver soft water continuously, even during regeneration. They are especially useful for larger households or homes with around-the-clock water demand where a single-tank system could create a gap.

Compact units fit in tight utility rooms, closets, or basements without sacrificing softening capacity. High-efficiency models use less salt and water per regeneration cycle while delivering the same performance as standard systems.

Water Softener Replacement

If your current system is not keeping up, replacing it can restore the comfort and performance you are missing.

We evaluate your existing setup and recommend an upgrade that better suits your needs. Our team removes the old unit and installs your new system with minimal disruption. With a modern water softener in place, you will enjoy improved efficiency and more consistent results.

A new system more effectively removes minerals, giving you noticeably softer water at every tap.

Modern water softeners are designed to use less salt and water while delivering better performance.

Upgrading your system helps minimize scale, keeping faucets, pipes, and appliances cleaner and working better.

With a newer unit, you can count on steady results without the fluctuations or inefficiencies of an older system.

Water Softener Repair

When your system is not working like it should, it can quickly impact your daily routine.

Our technicians diagnose the issue and provide targeted repairs to get things back on track. We focus on resolving the problem efficiently so you can get back to enjoying the benefits of soft water. With the right repair, your system can continue performing reliably. We can help with:

If you are noticing reduced lather or needing to use more soap, your system may not be softening water effectively.

When you start seeing spots on dishes or buildup on fixtures, it is a sign your softener may not be working properly.

If the salt in your brine tank is not being used, there could be an issue with the system’s regeneration cycle.

Clicking, grinding, or other unexpected sounds can indicate internal components need attention or repair.

A properly maintained unit operates more efficiently, helping reduce excess water and salt usage.

Routine service helps prevent unnecessary wear, allowing your water softener to last longer and perform better over time.

Maintenance allows technicians to catch and address small problems before they turn into larger, more costly repairs.

Water Softener FAQs

How do I know if I have hard water in my home?

Common signs include white or cloudy spots on dishes and glassware, crusty mineral buildup on faucets and showerheads, dry or itchy skin after bathing, and soap that refuses to lather properly. On Long Island, hard water is not a maybe. Long Island, Rockland County & Bergen County water drawn from the local aquifer carries elevated calcium and magnesium content, and most homes across the county and into Suffolk deal with some level of it. A professional water test confirms the exact hardness at your address and helps size the right softener for your household.

How long does a water softener system last?

Most water softeners last around 10 to 15 years with proper maintenance. On Long Island, where hardness levels are higher than in many other parts of the New York metro area, the resin inside a softener works harder and benefits from more frequent professional checks. Annual inspection, salt refills, and occasional valve service extend the practical service life and keep performance consistent.

Do water softeners really make a difference around the house?

Yes, and the difference shows up in more places than homeowners expect. Hard water causes scale buildup inside water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines that reduces their efficiency and shortens their lifespan. It also leaves spots on dishes, dries out skin and hair, and forces you to use more soap and detergent to get the same results. A properly installed softener removes the minerals, which protects your plumbing and appliances, improves laundry and cleaning results, and makes everyday water contact noticeably more comfortable.

Will a water softener affect my plumbing or appliances?

Softened water is gentler on plumbing and appliances than Long Island’s hard water. The scale buildup that hard water leaves inside pipes, water heater tanks, and dishwasher components is exactly what shortens the life of those systems, and removing it at the supply is the fix. Homes with very old lead or galvanized pipes are a case where a plumber’s evaluation of the plumbing condition matters before installing a softener, and we factor that into every consultation.
