Softened water just trades sodium or calcium chlorides for other ions in your hard water(like iron). I would expect your boiling point of this softened water to remain relativelly the same or close enough that you won't see a difference on your stovetop.





However, you will probably use more water and take longer showers as with the softened water can be difficult to wash the suds off.Does hard water heat easier than soft water ? Will I burn more oil to make domestic hot water ?
Yes, it will take more energy to heat it. It is called a colligative property. Any time you dissolve a substance in water, you extend the liquid phase of water...meaning it stays a liquid at higher and lower temperatures where pure water would have begun boiling or freezing. This is why you put salt on the sidewalks in winter and salt in a pot of water to cook pasta (it cooks the food faster because the water has more energy when it does reach its boiling point)
