These young men arrived early and prepared for the day! They were knowledgeable, hard working and left zero hint of having worked after they left.

I've been using Gem exclusively beginning this year after the sale of the company we used for 10+ years that were no longer able to honor our 24hour service guarantee due to their understaffed workforce. This service came at a hefty yearly retainer and they still had no availability to perform emergency service. Im never going back and will continue to call Gem!
Alexander did an awesome job if I could I would give him 10 stars

9/6/2025—-GEM does our HVAC service.
We had one condenser stop. They came, found an electric problem, sent the electricians in their group, ordered the required electrical panel and we are back up and running.
These people REALLY know what they are doing!!
Corey Mayo took care of it this morning- he was polite, informative, and efficient.
I was very pleased with GEM plumbing. They came when they said they would and explained everything. I would highly recommend them.
Gem has always been my lifesaver and yesterday they came through again. When GEM came yesterday for the annual boiler cleaning they discovered that my boiler was leaking carbon monoxide gas. It had not been leaking the year before so carbon monoxide leaking from your burner. It’s like a tire that’s going flat in the air is coming out. It only gets worse. They gave me an estimate on replacing it, I did some research and they said that they couldn’t install it the next day. The price was in line with everything I had researched and the Bernar rated very high on Trustpilot as did the warranty. Having worked with GEM before, I trust them and I made the deal. Today two men arrived two more came then the Electrician.They got the old burner out they got the new burner installed. They cleaned up the basement and I now have heat and no carbon monoxide.Thanks for being there again GEM.
John arrived within the time window, was courteous and professional. He explained what he was doing throughout the service call.
Great service as usual. Techs were very pleasant, knowledgeable and considerate. The explained everything so I could understand it.
Very professional and was sure to explain everything that was done and the condition of the system
David was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. GEM is lucky to have him. Just wished GEM helped out with some of the cost seeing how it was just installed seven years ago but I was very please with the service David provided.
Technician Joseph Sr, was on time, knowledgeable, neat and personable. Excellent service.
Great service for the annual ac check up!

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.
