Great service. Technician very courteous and knowledgeable
The best! They found some discounts for me and were more reasonable than other companies. They cleaned everything up were efficient and really nice. I’m so happy with my new boiler.
On Oct. 16 the heat in the house still wouldn’t work so GEM came out to find the problem. Harrison arrived at 9:00 and spent all day working on a solution. He kept me informed on what was happening all along the way. It turns out that it was several problems all related and by the end of the day another part had to be found. The next day Harrison and Erin were there bright and early and with the new part. Even with the new parts things were still not working right, so they contacted the tech team at Bryant headquarters and they were stumped. But Harrison and Erin solved the problem and now we have heat. They were terrific, very hard working, knowledgeable and professional and friendly. I’m very pleased.

Water Heater Replacement FAQs

What water heater options work best for Newport’s historic homes?

Many Newport homes feature older construction with limited mechanical space. Tankless water heaters are ideal for tight installations since they mount on walls and eliminate the need for a large storage tank. For homes with adequate space, traditional tank models remain a reliable and cost-effective choice. GEM’s plumbers assess your specific situation and recommend the best fit.

How does coastal living affect water heater lifespan?

Salt air and humidity common to Newport can accelerate corrosion on water heater components. Regular maintenance, including anode rod inspections and tank flushing, helps extend system life. GEM technicians understand these coastal conditions and can advise on protective measures specific to waterfront and near-shore properties.

Does GEM offer same-day water heater replacement in Newport?

Yes. GEM understands that losing hot water disrupts your entire household. Our team size and stocked trucks allow us to provide same-day replacement service across Newport whenever possible. Call us when you notice a problem, and we’ll work to restore your hot water quickly.

What rebates are available for Newport homeowners?
