We had a leak in the feed tube going into our toilet. It leaked down through the ceiling into our kitchen. I called GEM and they sent technicians right out to fix the problem. The technicians arrived, assessed the problem and gave us a very reasonable quote. The technician also noticed veteran plates on my car and applied a 10% discount! They fixed the problem, noticed that the feed tubes to my sink didn't look good and corrected them as well. Both technicians were very personable and kind. They helped lower our anxiety as well. Great experience! Highly recommend GEM plumbing!

Two great gentlemen (Brandon and Maxwell) came to my house to fix a leaking faucet. They explain all the questions from me and wife. They even give nice advice about reglazing the sink. Due to the distance between the cabinet and the sink, they tried very hard to find the best possible solution for us and install a new faucet. It is a wonderful job!! Highly recommended!!
The GEM service technicians showed up promptly. They were quick and efficient with their service. They had good recommendations and were very cordial. I would call on them again.

I have already posted a 5 star review and want to post another. Four years after becoming a GEM customer, I remain totally satisfied with their service. I could name a lot of names: Nathan Campbell, Tony Rossi, Michael Hassel, Steven Gray and his partner Chase, and others who have all been incredibly responsive and totally dedicated to solving the problem at hand. I think for an organization as large as GEM they have managed to recruit and train a great group of professionals. All that matters to me is quick access to such a good group caring pros.

The service and attention to detail is excellent. They identified the problems with 2 toilets and 2 shower faucets and resolved every issue with the least amount of disruption. They even went the extra mile to identify the cause of a ceiling stain to make sure it wasn't from water. I recommend them highly for quality of work, knowledge and efficiency.

How to Know When You Need a New Air Conditioner Installed

Understanding the signs to install a new AC system before it breaks down can save you from serious frustration and discomfort during the hottest days of the year.

Here’s when we recommend considering a new AC installation.

You have an ideal temperature you’ve set on your thermostat, and your cooling system should be able to reach and maintain it consistently throughout your home. When certain rooms feel warmer than others or your system runs nonstop without keeping up, it’s a clear sign your air conditioner may be losing efficiency.

Over time, this can lead to higher energy bills and reduced comfort, making a new AC installation the best long-term solution for your home.

When your system turns on and begins a new cycle, you may hear your air conditioner turn on and produce a gentle hum; that’s normal and doesn’t signal issues. When you start noticing loud bangs, rattles, or grinding sounds, though, it’s often a sign that something isn’t working as it should.

Unusual noises can point to wear and strain within the system, which may worsen over time. If your AC is getting noisier with each cycle, it’s likely time to consider replacing it with a newer, quieter, and more efficient model.

Energy bills typically climb as system efficiency drops. This can happen over time due to wear and tear or system aging. Your technician should inspect your system and determine the cause and extent of the issue.

New air conditioning systems are designed to operate far more efficiently, using less energy to deliver better cooling performance. Upgrading your AC can significantly lower monthly utility bills while providing more consistent comfort and peace of mind for years to come.

Air conditioners typically have lifespans of around 15-20 years. As they age, they naturally become less effective and efficient. If your air conditioning unit is beyond 20 years of age, having it replaced with a newer model can save you money on both energy and repair costs in the long run.

Modern systems are built with advanced technology that improves cooling performance while using less power. Replacing an outdated unit not only enhances comfort and efficiency but also gives you the reliability and peace of mind that comes with a brand-new, warranty-backed system.

We Install All Types of Air Conditioners in Boston

GEM is here to help your home stay at the right temperature all summer long, no matter what type of system you count on to do so.

Here’s a look at the types of air conditioners we install:

The most common type of cooling system in Boston, central air conditioners are extremely reliable and effective. No matter how high the outdoor temperatures climb, central AC systems deliver consistent, even cooling throughout your entire home. They’re designed to maintain comfort across every room while keeping humidity levels in check.

GEM installs and services high-quality central air systems that are energy-efficient, durable, and tailored to your home’s layout.

Installing a heat pump is an energy-efficient way to keep your home cool during Boston’s hot summer months. Instead of generating cold air, they move heat from inside your home to the outdoors, maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature with less energy use.

The AC technicians at GEM can install modern heat pump systems designed to provide reliable, consistent cooling while keeping energy costs low.

Ductless mini-splits offer flexible, efficient cooling without the need for traditional ductwork. They’re perfect for individual rooms, additions, or homes where installing ducts isn’t practical, delivering precise temperature control wherever you need it.

GEM provides expert ductless mini-split installation and service, helping Boston homeowners enjoy targeted comfort and quiet, efficient cooling throughout the summer.
