What Our Customers Are Saying
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
We found roots growing in an old, 2-foot, cast-iron section of my main drainage pipe.
He used a blade attachment and cleared the obstruction to the best of his ability. Then left me with a quote to have the 2-foot section of cast iron replaced with PVC—which is only a small section that penetrated the foundation of my home.
I was very happy with the service, and most importantly the transparent approach which allowed me to make informed decisions.
Nate’s customer service skills were out of this world. I advise GEM Plumbing to invest in this young man.
I had two whole house central AC units replaced (19 yrs old) and their team and other parts of the company (Plumbling, electrical, etc.) worked together to do an unbelieable installation in very hot conditions. My hats off to your company and we are so impressed that I contracted GEM to install a whole house 25kw generator.

My whole transaction was smooth and pleasant from start to finish!

Water Heater Replacement FAQs
Is a tankless water heater worth the investment for Providence homeowners?
Tankless water heaters offer several advantages, including endless hot water on demand, longer lifespan, and reduced energy consumption. While they have higher upfront costs than traditional tank models, many Providence homeowners find the long-term energy savings and space efficiency worthwhile. GEM’s licensed plumbers can help you determine if tankless is right for your household.
What efficiency ratings should I look for?
Look for water heaters with a high Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) rating, which indicates how efficiently the unit converts energy into hot water. Higher UEF ratings mean lower operating costs. For Providence homeowners seeking maximum efficiency, heat pump water heaters and tankless models typically offer the best ratings.
Can you install a water heater in an older Providence home with limited space?
Absolutely. GEM’s technicians are experienced with the space constraints common in Providence’s historic and older homes. Tankless water heaters are particularly well-suited for tight spaces since they mount on walls and don’t require floor space. We’ll assess your available area and recommend options that fit.
How often should I maintain my new water heater?
Annual maintenance is recommended to keep your water heater running efficiently and extend its lifespan. Routine service typically includes flushing the tank to remove sediment, inspecting the anode rod, and checking all connections. GEM’s Home Comfort Club Membership makes scheduling regular maintenance simple and affordable.
