Here’s Why You Should Replace Your Water Heater

Water heaters wear out eventually. Acting before total failure keeps you in charge of the timing.

Older units waste energy by default. New water heaters heat the same volume of water while using less fuel or electricity. Savings show up on your bills immediately.

Temperature swings and mid-shower cold spells end with a new system. You get reliable hot water whenever you need it.

Aging equipment breaks more frequently. Replacement stops the cycle of service visits and parts bills.

Buyers pay attention to mechanical systems. A new water heater signals a maintained property and removes a concern from their checklist.

We had 2 very old direct vent gas wall heaters replaced. Evan and Steve are the best. They explained everything and did a awesome job for never putting in these Rianni heaters . Kept me informed and answered all my questions and eased my concerns . Couldn't of asked for two better guys. The electrician and his assistant were outstanding with the fact the house was
built in 1925 with older wiring . Chen and his assistant installed 2 dedicated circuit for both heaters to run on and it works out great as now my air conditioner will run on the dedicated circuit this summer. Would recommend all of them for future heating needs .
We had the bathroom one downsized to a smaller unit with no issue what so ever even with them having to remove the bigger one they had put in they were happy to accommodate the issue
They are sweet, knowledgeable and quick. Thank you guys for an excellent job done, I appreciate it.

Water Heater Replacement FAQs

Should I choose a tank or tankless water heater for my Shrewsbury home?

It depends on household usage and available space. Tank water heaters cost less upfront and work well for most families. Tankless units have higher initial costs but deliver endless hot water and typically last longer. GEM’s plumbers can assess your situation and recommend the best fit.

What rebates are available for Shrewsbury homeowners?

Mass Save provides rebates on qualifying high-efficiency water heaters, including heat pump models. GEM helps identify which equipment qualifies and assists with the rebate application.

How long does water heater replacement take?

Most jobs finish in two to four hours. Electrical or venting modifications extend the timeline. GEM provides time estimates before starting.

Does GEM remove my old water heater?

Yes. Removal and disposal are included with every replacement.
