Great service ! They were on time, respectful and took care of business quickly and efficiently
Lost our well water tank, great job with replacement. While here had them replace kitchen faucet and garbage disposal also. Will use GEM from now on!
Eric and Steve are great. Got the job done fast. Cleaned up. Terrific work.
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.
The gem guys could not have been any nicer. We had to leave and trusted them in our home alone.
Very professional and thorough. Serviced not only my mini-split but my air conditioner and checked my furnace and changed it's filter. Very happy.
The folks at Carmine's/GEM always do a great job๐Ÿ‘ Anthony Pena did a great job checking the gas dryer connection and valve. Made sure everything was working properly and that there were no leaks.
Joan Martinez came to my house on an emergency call when my furnace/boiler broke down at 1 am. He diagnosed the issues and unfortunately I needed a new system. GEM installed the new system over the next two days. Everyone on the crew was excellent. I signed up for GEMโ€™s maintenance program because if I had previously it would have prolonged the life of my furnace/boiler. Today Joan Martinez returned to do routine maintenance on my mini splits. He was very thorough and made sure the units are ready for the summer season. I highly recommend and trust Joan Martinez for any job.
Brody you were terrific! So knowledgeable. Appreciate that he showed what might be needed in the future. Thanks Gem Plumbing for sending him. Thanks for coming out Steve and servicing air conditioning and cleaning splits replacing filters as well as making sure it all works. I appreciate the prompt and friendly service. Sincerely I've

David was very thorough and patient. He was determined to get us a resolution and even ensured he taught us on best practices and troubleshooting techniques.
Although, we had to drop a lot of money today. We are very appreciative of David Santiago and Colin D. David explained everything that was wrong with our system. Even tried to find a way to fix the disaster. Even though we both knew, it wasn't worth it. That's where Colin come in and broke the heart breaking news but helped us find options and worked with us. With that we are VERY thankful for you both! GEM has a life long customer. Thanks guys.
Alex did a great job and most importantly, gained the confidence of my wife. Not an insignificant accomplishment in the middle of major repairs that required shutting off water and not flushing toilets, etc. Thanks Alex!


How to Know When You Need a New Water Heater Installed

Some water heater issues can be fixed with a simple repair, but others mean it’s time for a full replacement.

Here’s how to tell when your Pawtucket home needs a new water heater.

Most water heaters last 8 to 12 years. If yours is in that range or older, efficiency has likely declined and a breakdown could happen any day. Replacing proactively means you choose when it happens, not your water heater.

Rusty or discolored hot water often means corrosion inside the tank. While a failing anode rod can sometimes be replaced, rust in an older system usually signals the tank itself is deteriorating. New water heater installation in Pawtucket restores clean, clear hot water.

If your water heater used to bounce back quickly but now takes hours to reheat, sediment buildup or failing components are reducing capacity. When flushing no longer helps, water heater replacement in Pawtucket is the fix.

Strange sounds during heating cycles usually indicate sediment has hardened at the bottom of the tank. This forces the system to work harder and can eventually cause cracks. When flushing doesn’t quiet the noise, replacement makes more sense than waiting for failure.

We Install All Types of Water Heaters in Pawtucket

Modern water heaters come in several varieties, each designed for specific household needs.

GEM guides Pawtucket homeowners through the options and installs whichever system fits best. Here’s what we offer:

These systems heat water instantly when you need it rather than maintaining a heated reservoir. Cold water flows through a heating element on demand, providing unlimited hot water without energy wasted on standby heating. The compact form factor works well in Pawtucket’s smaller homes where utility space is limited. GEM installs tankless water heaters in Pawtucket for households wanting efficiency and continuous supply.

Conventional tank systems keep a supply of heated water ready for immediate use. Their simple, proven design offers reliability at reasonable installation costs. Available in various capacities and fuel types, tank heaters suit most Pawtucket households seeking dependable daily performance.

Hybrid technology captures heat from surrounding air to warm water rather than generating heat directly. This approach achieves impressive efficiency while maintaining a tank of ready hot water. Pawtucket homeowners pursuing maximum energy savings and rebate opportunities often choose hybrid systems. GEM installs these throughout the city.

Water Heater Installation FAQs

How quickly can GEM install a new water heater?

Most installations are completed the same day, typically within two to four hours. Tankless systems or installations requiring modifications may take longer. GEM provides estimates before work begins.

What type of water heater is best for my home?

The right choice depends on your household size, hot water usage, and space constraints. Tank water heaters suit most families and cost less upfront. Tankless provides endless hot water but has a higher initial price. GEM helps you decide.

How do I know when repair isn’t enough?

Age is the key factor. Water heaters under 8 years old with isolated problems can often be repaired. Systems over 10 years old or showing multiple issues are usually better replaced.

Are there rebates for new water heaters?

Rhode Island Energy offers rebates on qualifying high-efficiency equipment. GEM identifies eligible models and helps with the rebate application.

Will GEM take away my old water heater?

Yes. Removal and disposal are included with every installation.
