Robin Aire Service Company offers maintenance, repair, and replacement for residential water heaters in Southeast Michigan. We’re the team to call if you need services for your traditional, gas, electric, or tankless water heater.
Water Heater Installation & Replacement
When it’s time to replace your old water heater, turn to the skilled pros at Robin Aire for new water heater installation.

We’ll ensure you get the right water heater type and size for your needs, then install and test it according to the latest industry best practices.

Gas Water Heater Services
Our licensed and insured technicians can install, maintain, repair, and replace the gas water heater you depend on. We’ll help you select the ideal size, energy efficiency, and performance for your needs and budget.
Gas water heaters are among the most common systems installed within residential properties. Reliable and energy-efficient, gas water heaters deliver expedient heating, consistent hot water delivery, and more. Properly maintained and repaired, most gas water heaters have serviceable life spans ranging from 10 to 15 years.
Electric Water Heater Services
Our expert technicians can install, maintain, replace, or repair a broad range of electric water heaters within your home, condo, or apartment. Electric water heaters are safe, energy-efficient, cost less to purchase and install, and deliver a constant, virtually endless hot water supply to your taps. Frequently referred to as “on-demand” systems, electric water heaters require less energy than gas systems and are an ideal option for eco-conscious consumers.
Properly maintained electric water heaters can provide reliable operation for 10 to 15 years. As with all systems, age and wear and tear can take their toll and will diminish performance and reliability.
When you need top-rated gas or electric water heater services in Michigan, contact Robin Aire Service Company at (800) 361-0888 to schedule an installation, maintenance, or repair appointment.
Water Heater Repair
While proper maintenance will keep your water heater in great shape, it will still need occasional repairs. When your water heater goes out, fails to provide enough hot water, or develops any other problems, you can rely on the Robin Aire team. We often repair issues like noisy water heaters, brown water from the water heater, smelly hot water, water tank leaks, and more.
Even if your problem is more unusual, never fear — we can find the cause and repair your water heater. While we can fix nearly any water heater issue, we’ll make that recommendation if we believe you’ll save money by replacing your unit. However, we’ll never suggest a new unit to make a sale. For us, the customer’s interests rise above all other considerations.

Water Heater Inspection & Maintenance
The average homeowner often overlooks water heater inspection and maintenance. The ideal way to inspect a water heater and to check for rusting and corrosion of the combustion chamber and heat exchanger is to use an infrared inspection camera. Robin Aire uses this infrared image to view corrosion within the water heater that cannot be seen with the human eye.
It’s not recommended that a simple, unaided visual inspection with a flashlight or mirror be used because damaging corrosion can only be seen with an infrared camera. The infrared image is seen on a monitor screen as shades of black and white and can clearly define what heat exchanger areas are corroded. The results our technicians receive from the infrared image enable the homeowner to decide whether to replace the water heater.

Water Heater FAQs
How long will my water heater last?
Storage tank water heaters will typically last 10 to 12 years before replacement is necessary, depending on the frequency of maintenance and the water quality. Some gas models and electric water heaters can last 20 years with exceptional maintenance if the tank does not rust and begins leaking. Tankless water heaters can often last 25 years or longer with proper maintenance.
Are tankless water heaters more efficient?
With conventional water heaters, energy is constantly used to keep the water in the storage tank warm and ready for use. Tankless or on-demand water heaters only heat the water when needed, eliminating those standby losses.
This typically means that you will use significantly less energy, and your utility bills will be lower. However, with the virtually unlimited hot water that a tankless water heater can provide, it can be easy to take longer showers or use more hot water, eliminating the savings.
How often should I service my water heater?
We recommend scheduling water heater maintenance with Robin Aire about once a year. Our experts will provide a complete water heater inspection, checking for problems with the burners, flue, heating elements, thermostat, wiring, and plumbing.
We will also test the pressure relief valve, drain the sediment from storage tank water heaters, or flush the heat exchanger on tankless water heaters. Every three years, we’ll replace the anode rod to prevent tank corrosion, and we also offer optional infrared imaging to spot corrosion early.
When should I replace my water heater?
Once your water heater starts to have problems and is over 10 years old for conventional or 20 years old for tankless models, it may be time to consider a replacement. At that age, tanks may start to rust through, heat exchangers may begin to leak, or parts like the heating elements, thermostat, or gas valve may fail. Our experts at Robin Aire can evaluate your water heater and help you determine whether repair or replacement is the most cost-effective option.
