Installation Services
Undisclosed Information

Installation Services

Home Depot only offers installation services based on location and certain products. Although you have the option to pick up the product from the store or have the product dropped off at your home, you have to ask whether installation services are available. If installation services are available in your area and with your product, you will have to pay an additional fee for installation.

Undisclosed Information

There is a lot of information that Home Depot doesn't include on their website. They do not provide any information regarding contract length or a cancellation policy. Other industry competitors are very transparent when providing information about contracts. Usually there are month to month contracts or yearly contracts, but Home Depot does not release this information on their website. Additionally, they do not disclose if they have a cancellation or refund policy regarding contracts.

I love being able to order it and go pick it up. I love it that they will ship it to my house if it's not in stock. I use Home Depot for everything. I bought my hot water heater there. My new sinks my new faucets my new dishwasher. Even the handles for my screen room doors.

Home Depot's collections are so vast. There is every style, color, and model possible to choose from and their water softeners are life changing. They're affordable and if you ever have any issues they are more than happy to help you. My family used their service recently and they walked us through everything. They also provided financing options tailored to our needs which was super helpful. They did the installation process and I really appreciate their attention to detail and professionalism. I highly recommend!

Home Depot offers a wide range of water softeners, catering to various household needs. My experience with purchasing a water softener there was positive. The staff was knowledgeable and helped me choose a model that suited my home's water hardness level and usage. Installation options were available, which was convenient. While pricing can be a bit high, the quality and variety of their selection make it a worthwhile investment for those looking to improve their home water quality

Recntely we needed to update and Replace or fix our old water system for the greenhouse that supplies our holistic healer herbs. Since we ad inherited the system with the set up of the site we were lost. I google water softener systems in home depot and was shocked to see they even had a free video guide to help people learn the basics of what was needed, how we could pick out what we would need, and what the differences between the two is.. not only do they have helpful instore staff who gave me the hands on how to install info i needed but they aslo large online array of products to choose from if we didn't find what we wanted in store. Our update ended up costing less than the original one and thats all thanks to the help of home depot.. thanks guys!

I got Home Depot, was able to buy everything I needed at a very cheaper rate. Things purchased are of high quality and was able to return others which I don't doesn't fit my expectations and home measurements. Staff were very supportive to provide technical aid to customers at every needed point, though, the description makes it easier to self identify your shopping unit where specific items and or equipments could be picked. Still the COVID-19 precautions and protocols needed to be followed, wearing of masks is still mandatory while six feet social distant is always being maintained. At the two locations of home depots I patronize frequently, the traffic is not as high as expected due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I will recommend shopping here for anyone interested in shopping for home 🏡 appliances, equipment etc.

I purchased a GE under sink water filtration system from Home Depot because I wanted clean, filtered water when using my sink so I can cook and drink clear, non-contaminated water and the product has been great so far. I had a plumber install the device but it was pretty easy for the person. Once done, you use your kitchen sink like normal with the joy of knowing that your water will be healthy and filtered! Replacing the filter is simple and easy as the device comes with a sensor that alerts you when it is time to replace the filter. Unscrew and detach the filter from the mounted unit and attach the new filter. Simple right? Best purchase I made thus far and would do so again.

There are so many water softener companies out there it's hard to find the right one. We have a well as our primary source of water. The well has minerals that leave rust stains in the toilet basin and around the shower drains. In the spring, during the thaw, the water has a sulfur aroma. We decided when it was time to get a water softener we wanted to make sure they had the replacement filters immediately. We went to Home Depot and they had a few choices. When we got the one we wanted, the company has filters available through their online stores which makes it convenient. The water softener does the trick for better tasting and better smelling water.

Our water softener when out recently and our home warranty gave us a check so we can buy and install it our selves. They have a good selection and are very knowledgeable about the products. They helped us pick out a new Rheem water softener and guided us through the install process. They made it easy for us to install it. Thanks HD!!

I found out about the water softener product by complete accident. I agreed to have a salesman out to my home to show me the benefits of adding a water softener system to my home. Although, I believe it’s a great value, it is honestly out of my price range. My home is that the price for the water softener system will be re-analyzed so that their customers aren’t reluctant to proceed with the install of the product without taking so much thought in how they will be able to afford the water softener system.

Home Depot offers a commendable selection of water softeners, making it a strong choice for those seeking to improve water quality in their homes. The variety of brands and models available provides options for different budgets and needs. While their in-store customer service is generally helpful, I found that their online resources could be more informative. I still had a fairly great experience receiving assistance from them, and they were able to beat other prices when we looked. Overall, Home Depot is a solid destination for water softeners, with just a bit of room for improvement in the information department.

Home depo has suffered as much as any other company during these days of pandemic pandemonium, one thing remains a stumbleing block and that is staff that can assist customers with finding items that are common or other. Its a chronic condition in our modern era of digital craft vs. Craftsmen & Women, that often the customer is assisted by another custumer contractor or craftsman. I myself have witnessed bewildered patrons who are on thier own seeking items staff simply did not know the location of. The company otherwise has a few veteran workers who are usually very busy. They have competive pricing and quality products

The Home Depot is my "go to" store for just about everything I need in my house from the little stuff like light bulbs and garbage bags to the big stuff like my grill, patio furniture (which I just bought and love) and appliances (like my water softner and the sales associate explained how easy it was to do it myself). It's all there in one store! The only thing that I dislike about the Home Depot is letting my husband go there by himself. He gets lost in there for hours! The staff is always friendly and eager to help and the hours are great! My family loves the Home Depot!

Home Depot is the go-to for home improvement, diy's, bathroom furniture and even cleaning supplies. I always find things I didn't even know I needed and the most interesting gadgets/new technology for every day problems. However, I am obligated to give it this rating because of their customer service; it is very get you in and out type of situation and maybe that's what other customers look for but not all.

It's a decent store when it comes to finding product, but the customer service and lack of professional knowledgeable people can be frustrating. At times. I give it four stars for availability and take one away because of their lag of professionals readily accessible function. You think she's trying to do the same thing to you?

Home Depot is a one stop shop for all of your home needs. I come here for my air conditioner, water softener, garden, and anything else that comes up around the house. It's a great place, and usually much cheaper than competitors. They carry water softener supplies at much more competitive rates than other stores.

We like the convenience of having a Home Depot nearby and the selections offered. The salt crystals for our water softener come from there. As well as many garden supplies such as plants, soil, fertilizer, containers etc. We also enjoy that my husband gets a military discount for his time served in the Navy.

We purchased this water filtration system on 2014. It has been a lifesaver in more than one occasion. The only downfall is that the tent that goes under the kitchen sink has needed to be replaced more than twice in eight years. The filter replacements are a little expensive.

I've had hard water at my house for years, since it's so outdated. I didn't think getting a soft water filter would make a difference, but after buying Home Depot's—i am amazed. It was a great price and now my hair and skin and literally glowing, so happy with my softened water.

Water softeners make the hugest difference Home Depot is a place I trust. The softeners make it so that I don’t get red spots when I take showers and my dishes don’t have a salty film on them. Sometimes it can take a while to start working after we forget to put salt in.

We also have the water heater so the two have worked well together.. They sell quality products that they back. The few times I have had an issue with something purchased at Home Depot the item was returned and I received a refund. I also like all the DYI project info they provide.

I used the Rheem 32,000 Grain Water Softener from Home Depot a few years ago when living in Texas. I opted for the installation service from Home Depot itself as the installation seemed tricky. I think Home Depot did a great job with the installation itself. Had no issues with the system for the 2 years we were in that house before we sold it. The system was a full house water softener for a small to medium size house. Had a bunch of smart features and was energy efficient. Overall had a very good experience with the water softener and would use it again.

The customer employees were crucial to my experience at Home Depot. I recently picked up a few things, and if it wasn't for the patient-employee helping me, I wouldn't have been able to find anything I needed because the store is so huge. Although the customer service is good, the return policy on many products I've purchased is very confusing. It needs to be simplified more for me to even understand.
