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.
The team was:
Alec Reyes
Marcus Mendoza
Roger Ribeiro
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
Watch for these telltale signs of water heater trouble.
Medford residents should watch for these indicators. GEM provides honest recommendations based on what we find during inspection.
Most water heaters last 8 to 12 years. If yours is approaching or past the 10-year mark, efficiency has likely dropped and the risk of failure increases. Replacing now avoids unexpected breakdowns and the inconvenience that comes with them.
Discolored hot water or visible rust on the tank exterior signals corrosion inside. While sometimes caused by aging pipes, rust in hot water that clears up after running usually points to the water heater itself. This problem only gets worse.
If your water heater used to recover quickly between uses but now takes hours, age and sediment are catching up. When flushing no longer helps, the system is losing capacity. Replacement restores reliable hot water.
For gas water heaters, a pilot light that keeps going out indicates a failing thermocouple or other component. While sometimes repairable, recurring pilot problems in older units often point toward replacement being the better investment.

We Install All Types of Water Heaters in Medford
The right water heater depends on your household size, hot water habits, and available space. GEM helps you find the perfect match.
Here’s a look at the types of water heaters we install in Medford:
Tank water heater installation in Medford is the tried-and-true choice for most households. These units store 40-80 gallons of heated water, ready whenever you need it. Tank models work with gas or electric power, install affordably, and deliver dependable performance for families running showers, laundry, and dishes throughout the day. For consistent hot water without surprises, a properly sized tank water heater gets the job done.
Tankless water heater installation in Medford appeals to homeowners who want endless hot water and energy savings. These compact units heat water on demand as it passes through, so you never run out mid-shower. Tankless systems mount on walls, freeing up floor space in tight basements or utility closets. GEM installs tankless water heaters in Medford homes looking for efficiency and long-term value.
Whether tank or tankless, today’s high-efficiency water heaters cut energy use without sacrificing performance. GEM installs ENERGY STAR certified models that qualify for rebates and lower your monthly utility bills. We’ll help you weigh upfront costs against long-term savings to find the smartest choice for your Medford home.

Water Heater Installation FAQs
Is a tankless water heater right for my Medford home?
Tankless can be a great choice if you want unlimited hot water and have adequate gas supply or electrical capacity. They’re compact, which works well in Medford’s Victorians, multi-families, and newer condos where utility space may be limited. However, they cost more upfront and require specific installation conditions. GEM can assess whether tankless makes sense for your home’s infrastructure and your family’s hot water needs.
Does Mass Save 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 Medford 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.
Should I get a gas or electric water heater for my Medford home?
That often depends on what’s already in your home. If you have natural gas service and existing gas lines to your water heater location, a gas unit typically offers faster recovery times and lower operating costs. If you’re electric-only, an electric water heater or heat pump model avoids the expense of running new gas lines. GEM evaluates your Medford home’s infrastructure and helps you choose the option that makes practical and financial sense.
What happens to my old water heater when you install the new one?
We take it with us. GEM handles complete removal and disposal as part of every water heater installation in Medford. Our technicians disconnect the old unit, drain any remaining water, remove it from your home, and ensure proper disposal. You don’t need to worry about getting rid of a heavy, bulky appliance yourself.
How quickly can GEM install a new water heater at my Medford home?
Most installations are completed in a single visit, typically two to four hours for a straightforward tank replacement. Our technicians serving Medford arrive prepared with equipment and parts to handle the job efficiently. We know you need hot water, so we work without unnecessary delays while still doing the job right.
