1936 Ann Arbor Hutzel Showroom

OUR History IS ANN ARBOR'S HISTORY

Your Longest Serving Neighbor​


We started serving Ann Arbor when horses were cars and outhouses were way in vogue. Our history is almost as long as the town of Ann Arbor’s. Throughout all the decades, the reason for our company, the mission behind it, never changed: we worked to serve our neighbors. First with hardware and paint, and then, when gas and electricity came to town, plumbing.

Michigan’s Oldest

Plumbing Company

 

Always There for Ann Arbor.

 

On May 1, 1857, August Frederick Hutzel established Hutzel and Company. Soon thereafter, Hutzel started selling and installing the latest technologies in plumbing: claw-foot bathtubs, enameled lavatories and water closets.

 

As the town switched from heating with coal to natural gas, Hutzel not only installed steam and hot water heating systems but started to equip the city with hot water and gas-forced air heating systems.

 

Today, as we continue to always be there for Ann Arbor, we service and install the latest, high-efficiency systems from hot water boilers to mini-ductless split systems.

 

Our factory-trained, union staff provides round-the-clock service for homebuyers and businesses. We are committed to serving our neighbors, as we’ve done for over 150 years, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Always continuing with their education they handle any plumbing challenge, from installing, maintaining or repairing water heaters to doing the same for garbage disposals, sump pumps, fixtures, not to mention, we install, test and maintain backflow systems.
