Here’s Why You Should Replace Your Water Heater

The warning signs you’re seeing often mean replacement makes more sense than another repair.

A water heater showing its age is usually wasting energy. Current models are built to heat water using less fuel or electricity, which means lower monthly bills once you make the switch.

The temperature swings and inconsistent output you’ve been experiencing go away with a new system. You’ll have steady, dependable access to hot water whenever you need it.

If you’ve already called for repairs, or you’re dreading the next service call, replacement breaks that cycle. A new unit is built to perform reliably for years without the recurring issues you’ve been dealing with.

Upgrading to a modern, efficient water heater not only improves comfort and savings but also boosts your home’s overall value. Potential buyers appreciate systems that aren’t showing warning signs.

Don’t Trust Your Home & Family to Just Anyone.

Why Lincoln Residents Choose GEM for Water Heater Replacements

When you’re trying to figure out what’s wrong with your water heater, you want honest answers from people who know what they’re looking at.

You don’t want to be sold a replacement you don’t need, but you also don’t want to keep repairing a system that’s going to fail anyway. At GEM, we believe your comfort and peace of mind come first, and we give you the information you need to make the right decision.

Our plumbers know Lincoln’s seven villages and the different types of homes in each, from Manville to Lime Rock. When you need someone to diagnose a problem and give you a straight answer, that local knowledge matters.

GEM has been serving Lincoln and the Blackstone Valley since 1949. That experience means we’ve diagnosed thousands of water heater problems and know the difference between a repair situation and a replacement situation.

If we find related issues during your evaluation, we can address them. GEM offers plumbing, HVAC, and electrical services, so you don’t need to call multiple contractors.

If the diagnosis points to replacement, we can often complete the job the same day. Our large team and fully stocked trucks allow us to move quickly when that’s what makes sense.

Whether the answer is repair or replacement, we tell you the cost before we start. No pressure, no surprises, just clear information to help you decide.

If replacement makes sense, rebates can offset part of the cost. GEM helps you identify incentives through Rhode Island Energy and offers financing to spread payments out.

When replacement is the right choice, we install equipment from manufacturers with proven track records. No off-brand units that will give you problems down the road.

Leak in kitchen. Technician was quick and professional. I’ve used gem in the past and have always had a good experience.

Nate came out first thing in the morning to help with my clogged sewer main. He was very professional and kind. He explained everything with no difficulty and offered multiple cost-tiered options. Mainly whether we would utilize a camera in the process of snaking the main. I appreciated being offered the option. We went with the camera process. So we could fully diagnose the issue, and determine if this would be a recurring problem.
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.

Incredible company.
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.

I was able to schedule an appointment for the next day. The technician was great. Chris went over everything that needed to be done and explained it clearly. Very professional. He was also able to offer a discount and waived the fee for the service call. When I reviewed the bill that night, there was an error and the fee hadn’t been waived. When I called Gem the next day, they saw the error and immediately corrected it. Said the refund would be put on my credit card. Very happy with the service.

I am very happy with my well water pump service. David Chapman and his associate were professional, friendly and respectful. David showed me how to change my filter for which I am truly grateful.
It was super easy booking online The next day the dispatcher, (unfortunately I don’t know her name) called to offer an earlier appointment. She was very polite and kind.
My whole transaction was smooth and pleasant from start to finish!

Water Heater Replacement FAQs

How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement?

It depends on the age and condition of your system. If your water heater is under 8 years old with a minor issue, repair often makes sense. If it’s over 10 years old, showing multiple symptoms, or has needed repeated repairs, replacement is usually the better investment. GEM provides honest assessments to help you decide.

What do the warning signs I’m seeing actually mean?

Rumbling or popping noises usually indicate sediment buildup. Rust in the water suggests corrosion inside the tank. Inconsistent temperatures can point to failing heating elements or a system that’s losing capacity. GEM’s technicians can diagnose exactly what’s happening with your system.

Can I wait to replace my water heater?

You can, but a water heater showing warning signs can fail at any time. Replacing proactively lets you choose the timing, compare options, and avoid an emergency situation. GEM can help you weigh the risks.

What rebates are available if I do need to replace?

Rhode Island Energy offers rebates on qualifying high-efficiency water heaters, including heat pump models. GEM helps Lincoln homeowners identify which models qualify and assists with the rebate process.
