TOGETHER WITH

Advantage Plumbing Heating & Air

Good morning, Dayton!

Here’s Your Daily Dose of Dayton
Did you know…You can celebrate your birthday at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton with crafts, kitten cuddles, and pup cups for all your furry friends?

The inside track on local happenings:

  • Dive into creamy Butter Chicken, spicy Rasta Pasta, and unique orange wines this weekend.

  • Local musicians can now apply for a spotlight on the legendary Fraze Pavilion stage.

  • Join the 12-hour Raiderthon dance marathon to support kids at Dayton Children’s Hospital.

The hottest day of the year is the worst time to find out your AC isn't ready for it.

Most breakdowns don't happen randomly. A worn capacitor, low refrigerant, a dirty coil -- small problems that went undetected through winter and finally gave out under the pressure of a July heat wave. A failed compressor costs $1,500 to $2,500 to replace. An emergency call runs double the normal rate.

A $79 spring tune-up from Advantage Plumbing Heating & Air catches those problems now, before they become a midsummer emergency.

When Elliot's AC broke right after he bought his house, Advantage came out, found the issue, fixed it, and didn't charge him for the visit. That's who these people are.

4.8 stars. 918 Dayton reviews. They show up, they're honest, and they fix it right the first time.

Book your $79 AC tune-up before April 30th.

Dancing for a Cause Close to Home

Get ready to move because Wright State University students are gearing up for Raiderthon, an incredible 12-hour dance marathon happening this Saturday, March 28. This high-energy event, led by the student-run organization Miracle Makers, raises vital funds for Dayton Children’s Hospital, our region’s only facility dedicated to pediatric care. Since its inception in 2013, these dedicated students have raised over $600,000 to provide life-saving equipment and support for local families. Throughout the day, "Miracle Stories" are shared by families who have received care at Dayton Children’s, reminding everyone why this community effort is so meaningful. It’s a beautiful display of Dayton’s community spirit, proving that when we come together, we can dance our way toward a brighter future for our kids.
