Why Bundle Water Heater Replacement With a Water Softener

  Why Bundle Water Heater Replacement With a Water Softener Replacing a water heater is a major home project—so when contractors offer (or homeowners consider) bundling the work with a water softener installation, there’s usually a reason beyond convenience.
