I installed the water softener and whole house water filter in my current house. We are moving to TV soon, and based on my research here NOVA is the way to go. The price includes installation and is very reasonable mark up over buying quality parts and DIY. For example, I purchased and installed a water softener like the one he installs and paid $700. He charges $999 and includes installation. $300 to not have to deal with that tank, cutting into the house water line, complying with the drain code requirements etc, is reasonable. The whole house filter can be found for around $300 or so, he charges $550 or so, again worth the difference to me.
Don't forget there are continuing costs with these. salt for the water softener (about $4 to $8 per month) and about $100 per year to replace the whole house cartridges. (Again you can save some money by purchasing lower quality parts - but, you get what you pay for.)
