At Dalton Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electric and Fireplaces, Inc., "Your comfort is our promise" is more than just a slogan. We have been servicing the surrounding Cedar Falls, IA area since 1959 and have always had the latest equipment to provide quality plumbing, heating, air conditioning, air quality, and fireplace services to our local customers. We have 12 master technicians that are ready to serve you and provide top assistance. Call us today to schedule an appointment.

"Honestly, I really wish I could give a better review. Most of the people we have worked with at Dalton have been very polite and they always come out to work on our systems. They installed our grandmothers system so we decided to go with them as well. Unfortunately we paid for a new heat pump system (A/C/Furnace Combo) and since it's been installed they've had to come out 5 or 6 times now. the first four times were because settings were improperly configured on the circuit board of the furnace unit. Each time they came out they had different techs with them saying different things. First the furnace wasn't adequately cooling the house and the noise coming from it was really obnoxious. So we had issues with cooling, now we go to test the furnace to make sure we have heat for the cold nights that are coming and we have no heat. The breaker outside had to be replaced, the unit won't pull gas. It's just been a mess. One of the technicians straight up gaslit us insisting that the sound our furnace was making was "normal as far as I can tell" and tried refusing to come service it, saying he wanted to get a factory representative, but then when he showed up he agreed it was too loud, did a little research and fixed the problem (without the factory rep). Like come on guys. We spent like almost 15 grand with you and this is how we get treated? We just want our stuff to work. Customer service is not what this review is based on, we have a 15 thousand dollar piece of metal that doesn't function properly and, unfortunately, that is a bigger deal to me than a rude technician. It has been months since this was installed, it needs to be remedied I'm getting sick of this. Update: they replaced the furnace completely. As of tonight it is still not functioning as advertised. Don’t buy a heat pump system here, it’s not worth the trouble. I also really like how the owner responds to all these nice reviews but hasn't had anything to say about the horrible experience we've had. Real cool."

"These guys can't change a wax ring on a toilet. Literally. They eventually got mine replaced at 6pm on a Friday and they were ready to give up at 5 but their boss told them to stay until done. After they got it ( it took 5 guys, 2 of them just slumbering around ), they charged me $300 for a wax ring . I've got nothing to gain by leaving this review, mainly I wanted to leave one in order to warn people to stay away from this company."

Residential and business water treatment systems. Water softeners, UV lights. We will analyze your water for contaminants such as chlorine, low pH, iron, bacteria, and devise a system to suit your needs. Treat your water from the source, as it enters your home, so whether you are drinking it, cooking with it or bathing in it, your water is pure.

"The process was quick and easy. I just provided a water sample. It was determined that I had high levels of chlorine in our drinking water. I was able to solve my water problems with only one filter. Why did I wait years to have this done? Now I can be confident that our water is safe. Highly recommended."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

A tankless water heater should be at least 10 feet away from a water softener, although the pros you hire for water softener installation can help you determine the correct distance. These two units need to have some distance between them to prevent hot water from the tankless water heater from flowing backward into the water softener when it runs a regeneration cycle.

Most of the U.S. has hard water, especially across portions of the West and Midwest. The areas with the hardest water include parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Illinois, North and South Dakota, Ohio, and New York. You’ll find soft water in parts of New England, the Southeast, the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii.

Hard water isn’t necessarily bad for you. In some ways, it’s good for you. If you’re deficient in magnesium or calcium, hard water can give you a mineral boost that you wouldn’t get with soft water. However, this is where the benefits of hard water pretty much stop. Hard water can cause many minor inconveniences and lead to costly, premature replacements of your water-using appliances.

A lower-end water softener would cost around $900, not including installation. Each home has different requirements, water hardness, and number of inhabitants, so there’s a huge range in pricing—$600 to over $6,000. The average water softener repair bill is around $500, meaning it’s a much better option to repair any issues and only replace your softener if absolutely necessary. 

Most experts agree there’s not much difference health-wise between hard water versus soft water. That said, hard water is more likely to cause skin dryness and issues that go along with it, like an itchy or flaky scalp. Hard water can also decrease the life span of your household appliances and make it more difficult for soap to do its job.
