Cheap quotes hide one and add it as "site conditions" on install day. ## 2026 Equipment Tiers - **Entry cabinet (32k):** $700–$1,100. Undersized for most PV homes. - **Mid-tier two-tank, metered (48k):** $1,400–$2,200. Right call for most 3–4 bath homes. - **Premium twin-tank / Kinetico (64k+):** $2,800–$4,500. Continuous soft water, salt-efficient. ## Install Labor Standard installs run $450–$900 when there's a usable loop and nearby drain. Older PV homes often need a loop added — add $300–$700. Outdoor pads (HOA-restricted) add screening costs. ## Hidden Line Items to Ask About - Bypass valve and shutoffs - Drain air gap to code (IPC 802.1.1) - Haul-away of old unit and leftover salt - First bag of salt and startup regeneration - Written 1-year labor warranty ## Total Project Range Most Paradise Valley homes in 2026: **$1,900–$3,400 installed** for a properly sized mid-tier system. Premium twin-tank projects: **$3,800–$5,500 installed**. ## ROI At PV hardness levels, a softener typically extends water heater life 3–5 years and cuts soap, detergent, and rinse-aid measurably. Payback in fixture and energy savings usually lands at 4–6 years. ## Get a Written Quote Dominick Plumbing provides itemized written quotes — no install-day surprises. Arizona ROC #350819.
