We had one condenser stop. They came, found an electric problem, sent the electricians in their group, ordered the required electrical panel and we are back up and running.
These people REALLY know what they are doing!!
Corey Mayo took care of it this morning- he was polite, informative, and efficient.
I was very pleased with GEM plumbing. They came when they said they would and explained everything. I would highly recommend them.
Gem has always been my lifesaver and yesterday they came through again. When GEM came yesterday for the annual boiler cleaning they discovered that my boiler was leaking carbon monoxide gas. It had not been leaking the year before so carbon monoxide leaking from your burner. It’s like a tire that’s going flat in the air is coming out. It only gets worse. They gave me an estimate on replacing it, I did some research and they said that they couldn’t install it the next day. The price was in line with everything I had researched and the Bernar rated very high on Trustpilot as did the warranty. Having worked with GEM before, I trust them and I made the deal. Today two men arrived two more came then the Electrician.They got the old burner out they got the new burner installed. They cleaned up the basement and I now have heat and no carbon monoxide.Thanks for being there again GEM.
John arrived within the time window, was courteous and professional. He explained what he was doing throughout the service call.

Very professional and was sure to explain everything that was done and the condition of the system

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.
