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.

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!
How to Know When You Need a New Water Heater Installed
These symptoms indicate your water heater may be done.
These issues are common in Cranston homes, and they often indicate that replacement is the better choice. GEM can help you decide.
Water heaters don’t last forever. Once yours reaches 10 to 12 years, components wear out and efficiency drops. Replacing before failure lets you plan the upgrade instead of reacting to an emergency.
Water or dampness around your water heater signals trouble. Even small leaks indicate tank corrosion that will only worsen. Catching this early and scheduling replacement prevents water damage to your home.
If your household used to have plenty of hot water but now runs out quickly, the tank is losing capacity. Sediment buildup and aging components reduce how much hot water your system can deliver. New water heater installation in Cranston restores the supply you need.
An aging water heater works harder to heat the same amount of water, using more energy in the process. If your bills have increased without other explanation, your water heater may be the reason. A new, efficient system brings those costs down.

We Install All Types of Water Heaters in Cranston
Choosing a new water heater means weighing different technologies, each offering distinct advantages.
GEM helps you select and install the right system for your household. Here’s what we offer for Cranston homes:
Rather than storing heated water, tankless units warm it on demand. Cold water passes through a heating element the moment you open a faucet, delivering endless hot water without the standby energy loss of traditional tanks. These compact systems save space in tight Cranston basements and utility closets while reducing energy consumption. GEM installs tankless water heaters in Cranston for homeowners prioritizing efficiency and unlimited hot water supply.
Tank-style water heaters maintain a reservoir of heated water ready for immediate use. These reliable systems come in various sizes and fuel options, making them suitable for most Cranston households. Installation costs less than other technologies, and the straightforward design means dependable performance for families needing consistent hot water throughout the day.
Hybrid systems combine tank storage with heat pump technology. Instead of generating heat directly, they extract warmth from surrounding air to heat the water, dramatically reducing energy use. Cranston homeowners looking to maximize efficiency and qualify for rebates often choose hybrid water heaters. GEM installs these advanced systems for households seeking long-term savings.

Water Heater Installation FAQs
How does GEM determine what capacity water heater my household needs?
We look at several factors specific to your Cranston home: how many people live there, number of bathrooms, whether you have high-flow showerheads or standard fixtures, and when your peak usage occurs. A household where everyone showers in the morning has different needs than one where usage is spread throughout the day. We also consider your existing infrastructure since upgrading from a 40-gallon to an 80-gallon tank may require electrical or venting modifications.
Does Rhode Island Energy offer incentives for water heater replacement?
They do, for qualifying high-efficiency models. The program offers rebates that can make upgrading to efficient equipment more affordable for Cranston homeowners. GEM helps you navigate the options and choose equipment that qualifies for maximum savings. We’re familiar with the current programs and can guide you through the application process.
I’m not sure what size tank my family needs. How do you figure that out?
GEM’s technicians assess your household’s hot water demands during the consultation. We ask about family size, bathing habits, whether you run the dishwasher and washing machine simultaneously, and what your busiest times are. For Cranston’s bungalows, ranches, and multi-family homes, we often recommend 40 to 50 gallon tanks for families of three to four, but we customize recommendations based on your actual usage patterns rather than applying a one-size-fits-all formula.
What’s the difference between gas and electric water heaters?
Gas water heaters typically heat water faster and cost less to operate if you have natural gas service. Electric models are simpler to install and maintain, and don’t require venting. Heat pump electric models are highly efficient but need adequate space around them. For Cranston’s bungalows, ranches, and multi-family homes, the best choice depends on your existing utilities and installation location. GEM can advise which makes sense for your specific situation.
How long does water heater installation take in Cranston?
Most standard tank replacements are completed in two to four hours. GEM’s technicians arrive with a fully stocked truck, so we have the fittings, connectors, and parts needed to handle typical installations without delays. If your Cranston home requires modifications like updating old galvanized pipes, relocating the unit, or upgrading electrical service, the job may take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe before we start.
