The service was good.Aiden was very good. It’s just they said they were on there way 2hrs and30 min they finally arrived. Waited all afternoon
The 2 service men were on time, assessed the problem, diagnosed the issue, came up with a plan and offered several solutions for fixing our mini split. They took pictures, tried clearing out mice debris , attempted to get the outside machine to work ( apex 2 hours) Alas a no go, so we decided to scrap it and go with baseboard heater for the room over the garage. Up front information and pricing , no nonsense. Affable techs and so far great service.

I was thoroughly impressed with the superb HVAC maintenance service I received from David Santiago and trainee, Kevin today! Before David and Kevin arrived I was very disappointed with having had my original service date rescheduled to what I thought were spurious reasons? In fact David and Kevin arrived after the designated rescheduled date and time today. GEM's communication was excellent throughout and their people seemed genuine and concerned. When David and Kevin arrived it turned the whole situation around. They could not have been more professional and knowledgable! I am now firmly committed to GEM and their Home Comfort maintenance program.

We just had our heating system replaced. We went from forced hot water system to a central heating and air conditioning system done by GEM plumbing and heating company We had Omar and Michael work in our home for 5 days they installed all the ductwork, the furnace and the condenser. These guys were very professional, kind, clean and informative throughout the whole install every day they explaind what they did and what is the expectation for the next day. Today was the last day they walked me through the whole system, how to change the filter how to operate the new thermostat and what to look for when things are not working properly. I say thank you to the whole team from planing to done, all went great to expectations

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Furnace

Your furnace works hard to keep your home comfortable—but like any system, it won’t last forever.

As furnaces age, they become less efficient, resulting in higher energy bills and reduced heating performance. If you notice your heating costs are steadily climbing, it could be a sign that your old furnace is struggling to keep up with your heating needs.

Are you constantly calling for furnace repairs? If your heating system breaks down more often than it used to, the cost of repairs can quickly add up. Investing in a new furnace can be a smarter financial choice in the long run.

Even if your furnace can be fixed, you might end up with hefty repair bills. When these expenses happen regularly, replacing the system with a newer, more reliable model is often more economical.

If your furnace keeps turning off and on, it’s short-cycling. Short-cycling is when your furnace comes on, runs for a minute or two, and then shuts off without properly heating the house.

Despite regular maintenance, if you notice issues with indoor air quality, such as excess dust, inconsistent heating, or uneven airflow, your old furnace may be to blame. Upgrading to a modern, high-efficiency unit can improve air circulation and filtration for a healthier environment.

If some rooms in your home are consistently colder than others, or if you’re constantly adjusting the thermostat to maintain comfort, your old furnace might not be distributing heat evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when it’s time to replace my furnace?

If your furnace is over 15–20 years old, needs frequent repairs, or struggles to heat your home evenly, it’s likely time for a replacement. GEM’s HVAC experts can inspect your system and help you decide whether repair or replacement is the best option for your comfort and budget.

How long does a furnace replacement take?

In most cases, a furnace replacement can be completed in one day. GEM’s licensed technicians handle every detail—from removing your old unit to testing your new system—so your home is warm again as quickly as possible.

What type of furnace is best for my home?

The right furnace depends on your home’s size, insulation, and heating needs. GEM installs gas, oil, and electric furnaces, as well as high-efficiency systems from trusted brands like Carrier. We’ll help you choose the model that offers the best balance of comfort, efficiency, and affordability.

Will a new furnace lower my energy bills?

Yes. Modern furnaces are significantly more efficient than older models—many operate at 95% efficiency or higher. That means more heat for less fuel, helping you save money every month on your utility bills.

Does GEM offer financing or rebates for furnace replacements?

Absolutely. GEM helps homeowners take advantage of financing options and energy rebates through programs like Mass Save and National Grid. Our team will walk you through all available savings opportunities during your estimate.
