Electric Water Heater Repair, Installation & More

As Rhode Island and Massachusetts continue to prioritize environmental consciousness, electric water heaters have gained traction among homeowners in areas like Warwick, Providence, and Brookline. These energy-efficient appliances align with the region’s growing commitment to greener living. However, maintaining and servicing these systems requires a local plumber with in-depth knowledge of the area’s unique water conditions.

GEM Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical has been a trusted name since 1949. We’re dedicated to providing the highest quality electric water heater services across the region, from installation to maintenance and repairs.


How Does An Electric Water Heater Work?

Electric water heaters heat water using submerged electric elements. When the hot water tap is turned on, cold water flows in and is heated by these elements before being delivered through the plumbing. They handle diverse water hardness levels across Rhode Island and Massachusetts well, making them ideal for residents throughout the region.

Types of Electric Water Heaters

There are several types of electric water heaters available, each catering to different needs and household sizes:

  • Electric tankless water heaters: Also known as on-demand water heaters, these systems provide hot water only when needed, ensuring energy savings and consistent water temperature. They eliminate the need for a bulky storage tank.
  • Heat pump water heaters: These systems use heat from the surrounding air to warm the water, offering energy-efficient operation and significant cost savings over time.
  • Storage tank electric water heaters: This traditional model features a tank that stores and heats water, powered entirely by electricity, making it a straightforward and reliable option for many homes.
