Installing a new water heater can be challenging—especially if you’ve never done it before and want to ensure it’s done correctly. Our plumbers will come directly to your home, install your water heater, and make sure it’s working properly.
According to the Department of Energy, water heating can account for up to 20% of your home’s energy use. Choosing the right heater can help reduce your energy consumption and monthly bill while also providing you with the hot water you need when you need it.
But which water heater is right for you? Should you go tankless or conventional? Gas or electric?
Here are a few factors to keep in mind when thinking about the right water heater:
Fuel type. The fuel type or energy source you use for water heating will not only affect the water heater’s annual operation costs but also its size and energy efficiency. Both tankless and conventional water heaters can usually use gas or electric energy. However, if you go with gas, you’ll need to make sure you have a gas line where your heater is.
Energy efficiency. To maximize your energy and cost savings, you want to know how energy efficient a water heater is before you purchase it. In general, tankless water heaters are often more energy efficient than conventional water heaters. But even if you want a conventional water heater, there are ways to improve energy efficiency.
Costs. Before you purchase a water heater, it’s also a good idea to estimate its annual operating costs and compare those costs with other less or more energy-efficient models.
Size. If you’re considering a conventional water heater, you need a properly sized water heater to provide your household with enough hot water and to maximize efficiency. The size and capacity of your water heater will have a great impact on how well it’s able to supply hot water throughout your house or workplace. The more demand for hot water you have, the more capacity you’ll need to keep your hot water demands satisfied.
Space availability. In addition, space availability is something to keep in mind. Conventional water heaters take up more space than tankless water heaters. Tankless water heaters can often be placed out of sight (but still within accessible reach) on the wall of your garage or basement.
At the end of the day, choosing the right water heater comes down to your specific wants and needs. And if you’re not sure which is right for you, our expert technicians will be more than happy to walk through the pros and cons of different types of water heaters with you.
I had a pipe leak on a Sunday. Robinson's was very polite on the phone, sent someone out in a timely manner and fixed it very quickly. Super service. I highly recommend using them.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review Diane! We fix leaking pipes whenever they happen, even on a weekend. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
Micheal and Justin installed a new water heater for me yesterday and did an outstanding job. They were polite, professional, and very knowledgeable. I had questions before and after the installation and they took the time to answer all of them and also addressed a few concerns I had. They were really great to work with! I have been using Robinson’s for several years and continue to be impressed with the customer service and the quality of the work performed. So I would highly recommend them.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the fantastic review!
Robinson’s Plumbing Service had been highly recommended to me and they did not disappoint. Nigel was great; he fixed the shower leak quickly. Their prices were fair and made clear prior to the work.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the kind review and for trusting our team to take care of you plumbing needs. Have a wonderful day!
I had a very slow leak in the crawlspace that was not an emergency (yet). I was still able to get an appointment first thing the next morning. Derick called ahead and was right on time. He was very friendly and professional, jumped under the house and assessed the situation within minutes. Then he gave me a detailed description of what he was going to do, the cost involved, and answered all of my questions and concerns. Derrck fixed the problem, showed me the repair and the bad section of pipe her replaced, answered some more questions about future concerns I had, and was on his way in just over an hour after arrival. I will definitely be calling Robinson's Plumbing Services next time I need plumbing work that I can't handle myself!
The job was done in a professional manner was very pleased with the outcome keep up the good work
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review Sheila! Professional service, professional results, and happy customers are a great combination. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
Woke to garage filled with water and water heater was the culprit. Other places didn't have appointments for 3 days, these guys got to us in 3 hours and had it fixed before noon. Very happy with the service and when it's time to upgrade, I'll be calling again, thanks Tim!
I needed an after hours appointment and got one the same day I called. Michael came out and diagnosed, repaired and cleaned up the areas perfectly. He also quoted another non-emergency job and explained it thoroughly. I will use this company again for plumbing needs - they were great!
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review Rountree Properties! We handle commercial plumbing for Property Managers, grocery stores, restaurants, and all other commercial properties. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
Very good experience. I had no hot water. I agreed to recommendation of heater replacement. Also cleaned out bathroom sink pipe. Very hayy with Michael's efficiency.
The day after thanksgiving, we had a large leak in the kitchen waste pipe that goes down through the garage, right next to the electrical panel. In short, an emergency. We didn't know the exact source of the leak or the difficulty of a remedy. We called Robinson's and about two hours Nigel showed up to help. Again, the day after Thanksgiving. The leak turned out to be a break in the pipe in a remarkably inaccessible spot as it passed through the subfloor of the kitchen. Had we waited through the weekend the consequences could have been severe. Nigel found the exact location of the break, fabricated a fix with a series of couplings that had to be assembled in place due to the turns and location, and had us good to go within the course if about 2.5 hours. What started out as a holiday disaster ended as a minor inconvenience. I can't recommend him enough.
No one wants a water leak when you have company but when it happens - Robinson Plumbing can help! I had someone at the house within a few hours and the issue was identified and resolved quickly and efficiently! And the “after hours” prices are so reasonable!
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review EM! We handle all plumbing jobs with care no matter if they are something small like a running toilet or a larger repair like a water heater or an underground water line. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
Courteous and knowledgeable technicians looking to solve the problem with my hot water heater with the simplest and least expensive solution. Addressed all issues and answered all questions. Will use Robison Plumbing again without reservation.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review Stanley! Your recommendation means the most. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
Great response after hours, great communication, great job and impressive that fiber optic camera was used to verify drain clear all the way to street.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review Cris! A camera system is the only way to verify the condition of drain pipes so we recommend a camera inspection after most drain calls. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
Robinson's was very respopnsive when I had an emergency water line break outside of my building. They did a great job and got my water back on in a timely manor.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review!
Reece did a great job, pleasant to deal with and worked non stop until the job was complete. Hard working individual that represents your company well.
