Expanding Service Excellence and Operational Capabilities in the Region

Meadville, PA – November 25, 2025 – Vantage is proud to announce the acquisition of Deeter’s, a leading provider of plumbing, heating, and cooling solutions. This partnership marks a significant step forward as Vantage strengthens its operational base, expands its service offerings, and continues the tradition of excellence that Deeter customers rely upon.

As part of the integration, Vantage is conducting a comprehensive review of current service offerings and processes and leveraging advanced software platforms to further streamline operations and increase online accessibility. The objective is to encourage best practices and empower staff to focus their time and energy on customer needs.

“This partnership is rooted in shared values and a mutual dedication to the communities we serve,” said Adam Nelson, CEO of Vantage Healthcare Network. “Deeter Plumbing & Heating has long been a trusted provider in the region, and we’re proud to welcome them into the Vantage family.”

“It’s about making comfort more accessible, efficient, and even more cost-effective,” said Adam. “Annual proactive agreements can ensure your equipment stays operational before the seasons change, partnerships with leading manufacturers will provide financing options for replacements, and landing local resources near our current Vantage locations will ensure faster response times to all service needs.”

During this transition, Deeter’s will maintain operations at its Cochranton location through January, with a gradual consolidation of inventory and operations into Vantage’s facilities in Meadville. This move allows for greater operational efficiency and the opportunity to serve an even broader area, all while preserving the high standards of service that customers expect. When asked why, Adam explained, “Vantage serves a healthcare community that relies on power, temperature, humidity control, and water purity throughout. Additionally, operating and emergency rooms, clinics, and care facilities are 24x7 operations, so having a trusted mechanical services partner trained in each facility’s equipment is critical. To me, the Vantage – Deeter combination makes sense for our healthcare clients and for the residents in the neighborhoods we serve.” 

For Deeter Plumbing & Heating, the partnership represents an opportunity to build on its 63-year legacy of personalized service while gaining access to broader support systems and collaborative opportunities.

“We’re excited to join Vantage and continue serving our customers with the same level of care and compassion they’ve come to expect,” said a representative from Deeter’s Plumbing & Heating. “This partnership allows us to grow while staying true to our roots.”

Field technicians and staff will continue their daily routines without interruption and Vantage will open new accounts with the trusted suppliers Deeter teams are accustomed to, ensuring uninterrupted access to necessary parts and materials.  Electric services will be added in the future, managed services and preventive agreements will be offered, and the customer experience will be taken online with scheduling, communication, billing and payment, and service history to provide a more comprehensive total comfort program. 

The company is excited to welcome Deeter’s into the Vantage family and looks forward to building on a shared commitment to exceptional service and community engagement.
