City or Well: Eliminate Contaminants
Clean water is essential for our health, but both city and well water can present unique challenges. City water often contains chemicals like chlorine and fluoride, which can affect the taste, odor, and overall water quality. Additionally, aging infrastructure may contribute to particulates or contaminants in the water. On the other hand, well water may face issues with sediments, high mineral content, unpleasant odors, or chemicals that have leached into the groundwater.

What’s in My Water?
Municipal Water: Safe, But Not Perfect
Your municipal water comes from a local source like a river, lake, or well, and it’s treated before reaching your home. The treatment process usually includes adding chlorine to disinfect the water and fluoride to promote dental health. While these measures make the water generally safe to drink, there are still risks. Issues like contamination from deteriorating pipes, errors in treatment, or floodwaters seeping into the system can affect water quality. To ensure safety, municipalities are required to provide an annual water quality report.

Well Water: More Responsibility on You
If you’re using a private well, the quality of your water is your responsibility. Contaminants like bacteria, metals, chemicals, or particles can affect well water, making it unsafe. The water might even smell or appear cloudy. It’s important to have your well water tested at least once a year to identify potential issues. Based on the results, you can install water treatment systems to remove harmful substances, such as filtration systems for heavy metals or UV light to kill bacteria.
Does Your Water Contain Forever Chemicals? (PFAS)
One of the most concerning contaminants in both municipal and well water supplies are per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as “forever chemicals.” These synthetic chemicals don’t break down easily in the environment and can accumulate in the human body over time. Long-term exposure to high levels of certain PFAS may lead to various health problems, including liver issues, increased cholesterol, and even certain cancers. These chemicals are particularly dangerous because they can travel through soil and water, contaminating drinking sources. In April of 2024, The EPA set a safe standard for PFAs at 4 parts per trillion (ppt). You can find the level of PFAs in your water here: https://tinyurl.com/44teu264

Systems designed to remove contaminants like PFAS, heavy metals, and bacteria can help ensure your water is safe. Green Home Heating & Cooling can assist with testing and provide solutions based on the results, helping you choose the best water filtration system for your needs.
Tailored Water Treatment Solutions
Water treatment solutions are crucial for ensuring the safety and quality of the water in your home. At Green Home Heating & Cooling, we understand that no single filtration system is a catch-all solution for every type of contamination. That’s why we offer a range of systems designed to meet the specific needs of your home, whether you’re on well water or city water. Here’s an overview of our water treatment offerings:
Whole-House vs. Point-of-Use Filtration
- Whole-House Systems treat all the water in your home, ideal for addressing contaminants in your bathing or cleaning water as well.
Read more below. - Point-of-Use Systems focus on specific areas, such as the kitchen or bathroom, to ensure the water you drink and use for food preparation is clean and safe.

Whole-House Water Filtration
If you want to improve the quality of all the water throughout your home, a whole-house filtration system is the way to go. This system filters out contaminants such as chlorine, sediment, and hard minerals, ensuring that every faucet, shower, and appliance gets cleaner, healthier water. For homes with specific needs, like heavy sediment or mineral buildup, we can tailor the system to ensure maximum filtration.
Point-of-Use Filtration for Drinking Water
For drinking and bathing water, point-of-use systems like under-sink carbon filters or reverse osmosis systems are highly effective. These systems are installed directly at your kitchen faucet (or other key points like your refrigerator’s water dispenser) to treat just the water you drink or use for cooking. They are designed to remove harmful contaminants such as:
- Arsenic
- Lead
- Nitrates
- Chlorine
- Other harmful particles and pollutants
Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection
If bacteria or viruses are a concern in your water, a UV disinfection system can be a perfect addition. This system uses UV light to kill or deactivate harmful microorganisms, making the water safe to drink and use without introducing chemicals.
Regular Maintenance and Repairs
Like all household systems, water treatment systems need regular maintenance to keep running efficiently. We offer comprehensive services, including:
- Filter replacement
- System inspections
- Preventative maintenance
