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
Know when to stop repairing and start replacing.
If you notice these signs in your Smithfield home, call GEM. We’ll help you understand whether repair or replacement is best.
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 Smithfield 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 Smithfield
Water heater technology offers several options, each designed for different household situations.
GEM helps Smithfield homeowners evaluate these choices and installs the system that fits best. Here’s what’s available:
Tankless systems heat water instantly when needed rather than maintaining a stored supply. Cold water flows through the unit and emerges hot on demand, providing unlimited supply without standby energy waste. Their compact footprint works well in varied housing situations. GEM installs tankless water heaters in Smithfield for homeowners wanting efficiency and continuous hot water.
Conventional tanks keep a reservoir of heated water ready for immediate use. These reliable systems offer proven performance, reasonable installation costs, and multiple size options. Most Smithfield households find traditional tanks deliver the dependable service they need.
Hybrid technology extracts warmth from ambient air to heat water, achieving efficiency levels far exceeding conventional heaters. A tank maintains ready hot water while dramatically reducing energy consumption. Smithfield homeowners seeking maximum efficiency and rebate opportunities often choose hybrid models. GEM installs these advanced systems throughout town.

Water Heater Installation FAQs
What are the pros and cons of tankless water heaters?
Tankless units provide unlimited hot water on demand and typically last longer than tank heaters, often 20 years with proper maintenance. They’re compact and efficient. The downsides: higher upfront cost, potentially expensive installation if your home needs electrical upgrades or gas line modifications, and flow rate limitations that may not suit large households using multiple fixtures simultaneously. GEM can help Smithfield homeowners decide if tankless is the right fit.
Can GEM handle water heater emergencies in Smithfield?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Smithfield and the Northern Rhode Island area. If your water heater fails unexpectedly, leaks, or poses a safety concern, call us immediately. Our technicians can respond quickly to assess the situation and get your hot water restored as soon as possible.
Can I install a water heater myself?
We don’t recommend it. Water heater installation involves gas connections, electrical work, plumbing, and venting that require proper training to do safely. Mistakes can create fire hazards, carbon monoxide risks, or water damage. DIY installation also typically voids manufacturer warranties and may not meet Smithfield building codes. Professional installation ensures safety and code compliance.
What size water heater do I need for my Smithfield home?
The right size depends on your household’s actual hot water usage, not just your home’s square footage. A family of four in Smithfield typically needs a 40 to 50 gallon tank, while a couple might be fine with 30 gallons. GEM’s technicians consider peak usage times, like when everyone’s getting ready in the morning, and recommend a size that meets your demand without wasting energy heating water you won’t use. We’ll size your system based on how your family actually lives.
How long does water heater installation take in Smithfield?
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 Smithfield 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.
