GEM plumbing recently installed a ductless minisplit system in my home. The installers did an excellent job. They were extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and patient. They communicated with me every step of the way and took the time to answer all of my questions. The system is working beautifully. If you are looking for a contractor to install a ductless minisplit system, I highly recommend GEM plumbing.
I do wish it hadn’t been so expensive, but I will say I really did feel like my technician understood what he was doing. He was knowledgeable and professional. He explained things well and I’d be happy to work with him again.
William (Bill) and Antony arrived promptly and serviced my boiler system – everything is up and running smoothly (and the hot water is back).!
Dory was friendly, respectful, and went above and beyond!

Both service calls to my house were with Nick, and I can't say enough good things about him. He's professional, courteous, communicative, and thorough.

great guy! vaery talented and professional
Joseph (Junior) from GEM Plumbing & Heating came out to do a check on our HVAC system for this season. He was very thorough, knowledgeable, and honest. Our system is in great shape after 16 years. Thank you Joe!!! We were on a contract plan, which was very reasonable, so we paid nothing at the time of service.
Our tech was Joseph (junior), Incredible experience came out the same day.Billed me for the service. Exceptional diagnostics, developed a number of options to fix the problem. We called four other places.First three never showed one showed and walked away, without figuring anything out. Our A/C has been out for 6 wks waiting for people to not show up. YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST CALL GEM FIRST
GEM responded very quickly. I was out of state when my tenant called stating the A/c system wasn't working. I called GEM to see if they would be willing to help me. I didn't have an account with them but they were more than willing to assist me with my broken A/C system.
Nick the technician was very knowledgeable and worked with me while I was out of state and with my tenants. He articulated very well, explaining all the issues, what the repair process would involve and the cost. There were no surprises. My tenants informed me that Nick was terrific !
Nick got the system up and running. Overall, it was a very positive experience and I would highly recommend GEM to anyone.
Great service. Timely response and got the job done. It’s on the pricey side but that’s expected given their quick response time. Joe was particularly good and have had him out twice on our property. Thanks!
From beginning to end the experience was amazing. It started with my man Walter who calmly with humor explained the process and my guys Ben and his partner who took cared of me and my family. They were professional and very knowledgeable about the process. Their patience when not finding my well was welcome. Awesome job
Thank you
The people are nice, punctual, pleasant.
And best of all great prices. I'm very happy with the service.
I was very impressed with Dory . He was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful.

How Do I Know If It’s Time for a New Furnace?

Not every furnace problem means you need a replacement.

Sometimes a repair gets you through a few more seasons. But when your system is old, inefficient, or breaking down repeatedly, replacement makes more financial sense than pouring money into furnace repairs.

Most furnaces last around two decades with regular maintenance. If yours is approaching or past that age, efficiency drops and repairs become more frequent. Upgrading now can save you money and prevent a mid-winter breakdown.

An aging furnace has to work harder to keep your home warm, driving up energy use. A new high-efficiency model—installed by GEM’s NATE-certified team—can help lower your monthly costs while keeping your comfort consistent.

If you’re calling for service multiple times a year, those repair costs add up quickly. Installing a new furnace gives you reliable performance, warranty protection, and long-term peace of mind.

If some rooms feel chilly while others are warm, your furnace may not be distributing air properly. This can indicate worn components, an undersized system, or failing ductwork—all signs it’s time for an upgrade.

Rattling, banging, or grinding sounds—or persistent burning smells—can signal serious internal issues. GEM’s technicians can inspect your system to confirm whether a repair or replacement is the safest option.

Types of Furnaces We Install

Every home has unique heating needs, and GEM offers the expertise and product range to match.

Whether you’re looking for power, efficiency, or sustainability, our team will help you find the furnace that fits your home, your budget, and your comfort goals.

Here’s a look at the types of furnaces we install:

Gas furnaces are one of the most popular and efficient heating solutions for New England homes. They deliver consistent warmth, quick heat, and lower long-term operating costs compared to other fuel types. GEM installs high-efficiency gas furnaces with advanced features like variable-speed blowers and modulating burners for optimal comfort and energy savings. We also offer comprehensive oil-to-gas conversion services.

For homes without natural gas access, oil furnaces provide powerful, reliable heat even on the coldest days. GEM’s technicians are experienced in both traditional and high-efficiency oil systems and can help you upgrade to a cleaner, more efficient unit that meets today’s energy standards.

Electric furnaces are a clean, safe, and dependable option for homes that prefer or require all-electric systems. They’re simple to maintain and offer steady performance, especially when paired with efficient insulation and modern thermostats. GEM’s experts can guide you through system selection and installation to ensure your home stays cozy without wasted energy.

Looking to make your home more sustainable? GEM offers solar-assisted heating options that harness renewable energy to supplement your furnace’s power. By integrating solar technology, homeowners can reduce their carbon footprint and utility bills while maintaining reliable comfort through the winter.

GEM is here for all your heating needs in New England including residential and commercial HVAC services. We also work on:

  • Horizontal Furnaces: For smaller spaces, horizontal furnaces are installed on their side, perfect for attics, crawl spaces, or tight basements.
  • Downflow Furnaces: Suitable for attics or other high placements, downflow models pull in air from above, distributing it downwards.
  • Horizontal Furnaces: For smaller spaces, horizontal furnaces are installed on their side, perfect for attics, crawl spaces, or tight basements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if it’s time to replace my furnace?

Most furnaces last around 15–20 years. If you’re noticing higher energy bills, uneven heating, frequent repairs, or strange noises, it may be time to replace your system. A GEM technician can help you determine the best next step during a professional inspection. For a quick way to estimate if it’s better to repair or replace your furnace, use the $5,000 rule. Multiply the cost of the furnace repairs by the age of your system. If that number is more than $5,000, then replacement is likely the smarter long-term option.

What size furnace do I need for my home?

The right furnace depends on your home’s size, layout, insulation, and heating needs. GEM’s HVAC specialists perform a full load calculation to recommend the ideal system for maximum comfort and efficiency.

How long does a furnace installation take?

In most cases, a furnace installation can be completed in one day. GEM’s licensed team arrives on time, handles the entire process safely, and makes sure your new system is fully tested before we leave.

What brands or types of furnaces does GEM install?

GEM installs a wide range of energy-efficient gas, oil, and electric furnaces from trusted manufacturers—including Carrier, a brand we’re proud to represent as a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer.

Will a new furnace help lower my energy bills?

Yes! Newer furnaces operate far more efficiently than older models. Upgrading can reduce your energy use, lower monthly bills, and improve your home’s comfort—especially when installed and tuned by GEM’s NATE-certified technicians.

Can GEM remove my old furnace?

Yes! We safely remove and dispose of your old unit as part of your installation service, so you don’t have to worry about cleanup or disposal.

How do I maintain my new furnace after installation?

Regular maintenance is key to keeping your furnace running efficiently. GEM offers seasonal tune-ups and our Home Comfort Club Membership, which includes annual inspections, priority scheduling, and exclusive discounts on repairs and services.
