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

Benefits of Installing a New Sump Pump

Not sure if you need to install a sump pump?

Doing so can provide you with the peace of mind you deserve by helping protect your home from unexpected water damage.

A sump pump actively removes excess water before it can accumulate and flood your basement. This added layer of protection is especially important during heavy rain, snowmelt, or periods of high groundwater common in MA and RI.

Standing water can damage floors, walls, furniture, and stored belongings in a matter of hours. Installing a sump pump helps minimize repair costs and protects your investment by stopping water problems early.

Excess moisture around your foundation can lead to cracks, shifting, and long-term structural issues. A sump pump helps redirect water away from your home, supporting the stability and longevity of your foundation.

Damp basements can lead to mold, mildew, and unpleasant odors that affect the air throughout your home. By keeping moisture under control, a sump pump helps create a healthier living environment for your family.

Do I Need a New Sump Pump?

Installing a sump pump is a big decision. They’re crucial systems, and you want yours to last as long as possible.

At GEM, we know it can be frustrating to deal with sump pump issues. Knowing the best time to replace yours, though, can save you from dealing with a complete system failure during the rainy spring months. Here are some signs to consider installing a new sump pump:

Even well-maintained sump pumps have a limited lifespan. If your system is aging, replacing it proactively can help prevent unexpected failures when heavy rain hits.

A sump pump that never seems to rest may be struggling to keep up with groundwater demands. This often points to worn components or a system that’s no longer sized properly for your home.

Grinding, rattling, or loud humming sounds can indicate internal damage or failing parts. These warning signs shouldn’t be ignored, as they can lead to sudden breakdowns.
