The GEM plumbers were fantastic. They hooked up a new spigot and a back flow preventer for the drip irrigation system I will have installed soon. They explained everything, they were fast and respected my home during the job. I highly recommend GEM for your next plumbing repair or upgrade.
Today Nicole from GEM extended the pipe and added a female adapter for the irrigation system. She was speedy and fantastic!
Josh was very pleasant, helpful and efficient. He worked on adding a valve to our boiler. Not sure how to answer other questions.
Called GEM this morning when I discovered that our water heater decided to stop working some time in the night. Ari in the office was extremely nice and was able to schedule a technician to come out same day. John was great, super helpful, and knowledgeable. He explained the system we have and what was going on. He was great with answering my questions and I really appreciated his taking the time to go over the various components of the water heater as well as answering my questions about their membership maintenance program. I look forward to working with GEM moving forward.
Professional installers from start to finish.
Douglas V. was prompt, provided great service and quality work. Douglas is professional and knowledgeable in his field. Highly recommend for HVAC repairs and maintenance needs.
Very nice technicians polite and did a great job tune up on my generator thank you
Aaron came for a 2nd successful visit. This time to figure out the cause of low/no water pressure in some of our H&C setups for 5 bathroom sinks. He left with 3 sinks H&C flowing freely & demonstrated the need for 2 new faucet installations so Hot H2O could be restored to the remaining sinks. Much appreciated as others had immediately started talking about replacing pipes without investigating less complicated solutions. As before, Aaron was a professional pleasure to have in our home & pricing will be the only holdup for us to continue with the faucet installations. Due to him, I have high hopes for the GEM electrician arriving next week & the HVAC maintenance later this month.
Courteous friendly service people, give complete information about work needed.
Those guys were awesome. They were very respectful and professional.

How to Know It’s Time to Upgrade Your Under-Cabinet Lighting

Dim, uneven, or outdated lighting can make everyday tasks harder than they should be.

Under-cabinet lighting that doesn’t provide enough illumination can slow you down and create frustration in your kitchen or workspace. Look for these signs that it might be time for an upgrade:

Shadows across prep areas make tasks like chopping, reading labels, or measuring ingredients difficult. Properly placed under-cabinet lighting eliminates these dark spots.

Older bulbs and fixtures can be dim, consume more energy, or require frequent replacement. Modern LEDs are brighter, longer-lasting, and more efficient.

Exposed wires or messy installations distract from your kitchen’s design. GEM keeps wiring neat, hidden, and code-compliant.

If one section is bright while another is barely lit, your workspace isn’t functioning as it should. Balanced, uniform lighting is key to a comfortable environment.
