Advantage is a local Dayton-area plumbing company. Our crews work throughout the Miami Valley, including homes near the University of Dayton corridor and the surrounding neighborhoods.
We are licensed in Ohio under plumbing license 51044 and BBB accredited. Our team has been installing water heaters in the Dayton area since 2020.
Water heater installation starts with sizing. The technician inspects your current setup, evaluates the unit size, the condition of the water connections, the gas line, and the flue. If your old heater is 40 gallons and your household has grown, the technician may recommend stepping up to a 50-gallon unit. Sizing the tank to actual usage prevents running out of hot water during peak morning hours.
Most Dayton homes have gas water heaters, with a smaller share running on electric. Each fuel type has install considerations. Gas units need a sized gas line, a working flue, and combustion air.
Electric units need an appropriate electrical circuit and breaker. Switching fuel types is possible but adds cost and complexity. Our technician walks through the install scope before recommending a unit.
Advantage installs commercial-grade A.O. Smith water heaters, made in Nashville, Tennessee.The full installation includes removing the old unit, setting the new tank, connecting the water lines, gas line or electrical service, installing a new T&P relief valve, configuring the venting properly, and pressure-testing the system before the unit is filled and fired up.
Several details on the install affect long-term performance. The shutoff valve at the cold water inlet is replaced if the existing valve is stiff or leaking. A drain pan with a routed drain line is installed under the unit to protect the floor and surrounding finishes. The expansion tank is replaced if the existing one is past its service life. These items are not optional add-ons. They are part of getting the install right.
A typical water heater install in a Dayton home takes a few hours. The technician hauls away the old unit and leaves the area cleaner than they found it. The install carries a 1-year minimum labor warranty along with a 6-year manufacturer warranty on the tank itself. Labor warranty extends to 6 years when the home includes a water softener, PRV, and expansion tank.
A properly installed and maintained water heater lasts 10 to 12 years on average. Dayton has hard water in many areas, which can shorten the tank life if maintenance is skipped. Adding a water softener at the time of installation extends the life of the tank meaningfully and qualifies the home for the 6-year extended labor warranty.

Sizing depends on household size and peak usage. A four-person home with morning showers and laundry running often needs at least a 50-gallon unit. The technician walks through your usage during the estimate and recommends the right capacity for your home.
