Hard water is a real pain in the pipes. Scale buildup in your pipes, spotty dishes, itchy skin, and worn-out appliances are all signs that your water could use some softening. At Godby Heating Plumbing Electrical, we help homeowners across Indianapolis, Carmel, Zionsville, Avon, and surrounding areas take control of their water quality—without the guesswork.
If you’re tired of scrubbing soap scum or replacing appliances sooner than you’d like, it’s time to consider a water softener.
Why Water Softeners Matter
Hard water slowly builds up scale inside pipes, water heaters, and appliances, reducing efficiency and causing premature breakdowns. Dry skin, dull laundry, and cloudy glassware are all signs your home could benefit from a water softener or that your existing one needs service.
We help you get the right-sized system for your home and install it correctly the first time.

FAQ: Water Softeners in Central Indiana
What’s the difference between hard and soft water?+
Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium. Soft water has these minerals removed, which reduces buildup and improves cleaning.
Do I need to replace salt in my softener? +
Yes, most systems require regular salt refills. We can let you know what salt is best for your system.
How long do water softeners last?+
With regular maintenance, a quality system can last 10–15 years.
Will a softener affect my drinking water? +
Softened water is safe to drink, but some people prefer filtered drinking water. Ask us about reverse osmosis systems for under-sink filtration.
Can you install a softener if I have well water? +
Yes. In fact, you may need both a softener and a filtration system depending on your water test results.
