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.
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.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review Chuck! Whether someone's toilet needs to be repaired or replaced, we will explain the options and the homeowner makes the decision. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
Highly recommend this company. We had a toilet repair to be made and were able to get a plumber (Jamie) to come out an hour later to fix it within 15 minutes. Very professional and efficient company and plumbers.
The technician Derick came early and calledto see if it was ok . He was very nice and knowledgeable . It was an extensive job and he knew what he was doing . He explained what he was doing as he went along . I would recommend this company .
I will report back on the install of the product. Leaving a review for Tim and his helper (sorry I do not remember the name) they were both very informative and asked what my true goal is and offered more options to me than other places. Didn't try to upsell me, just wanted to suggest actual options I had available. Also Sheila and Lisa at the main office were very helpful.
Michael was quite professional, friendly and took great care. Thanks.Update today...has a pipe leak. Called and Reese was here right on time. Explained everything, and got it done quickly. Reese's was great! Thanks again!

We had the main water line break in our basement closet In the morning. Derick from Robinson plumbing was at our house that afternoon, completing the repair, and running tests to ensure all was fixed. Derick was helpful and open to explaining the likely cause and repair strategy. Great experience during our home emergency. Thank you.
Fast, friendly and professional. They are my go-to for all plumbing needs! 5 Stars

Work was done well and quickly, with minimal disturbance to my yard. There was some dirt in the line, but they cleaned that out within 24 hours.

We have a lot of experience in replacing water lines underground and with our processes getting some dirt in the line during a replacement is rare, but when it happens we will make it right.

I had 2 new bathroom faucets installed today and Reece did a great job! He has been out before to install new toilets and to fix a leak in the crawlspace. He is always polite, professional, answers my questions, and addresses any concerns I have. I have been using Robinson’s for some time and continue to be impressed with the customer service and the quality of the work performed. So I would highly recommend them.

I am so pleased with Derick of Robinson’s Plumbing! He and his associate always show up on time and clean up so well after they’re done working, always leaving things better than they found them. I hired them for a project in Midlothian, VA to plumb a new kitchen island and move a lot of existing plumbing to accommodate the renovations. I also have to add - they completed the rough-in the DAY after my quote appointment, and had the county inspector out the following day. Seriously cannot say enough good things 💯🙌❤️
