Trusted HVAC, Plumbing & Drain Service in Rio Rancho
Hard water is a fact of life in the Rio Rancho area, and it is expensive in ways that are easy to miss: scale inside the water heater, spotted glassware, stiff laundry, soap that will not lather, and fixtures that wear out early. A properly sized softener addresses all of it at once.
B. Carlson has installed and serviced water treatment for Albuquerque-area homes since 1971. We test your water first, size the system to your household rather than to a box on a shelf, and install it to code with licensed plumbers. We also service the softener you already have.

Rio Rancho sees high-desert swings — hot, dry summers, a humid monsoon in July and August, and cold winter nights that keep furnaces cycling, which is hard on furnaces, air conditioners, evaporative coolers, and water heaters. We tune, repair, and replace them before a winter cold snap or a high-desert heat wave turns a small problem into an emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is water really that hard in Rio Rancho?
Yes — the Albuquerque area has notably hard water, which is why scale buildup in water heaters and fixtures is such a common find in Rio Rancho homes.
What size water softener do I need?
It depends on your water hardness and how much water your household actually uses. We test and size it for you rather than guessing from square footage.
Do you service softeners you did not install?
Yes. Our Rio Rancho plumbers service, repair, and re-media existing softeners from any manufacturer.
Will a softener help my water heater last longer?
It generally does. Scale is one of the main reasons water heaters fail early in hard-water areas, so reducing it protects the tank, the elements, and your fixtures.
