Paul V from Carmine’s, arrived promptly and was very professional, knowledgeable, patient and has a great demeanor. He changed the control board of my HAVAC unit, and gave me great suggestions of the usage of it. Paul is very sincere and you can see his dedication to his work. I would definitely recommend Carmines and Paul V for any of your HAVAC needs.
Friendly, explained what was being done and what to watch out for.
Great job by David
Victor is the best. He fixed our clogged pipes and came out right away
Great service ! They were on time, respectful and took care of business quickly and efficiently
Lost our well water tank, great job with replacement. While here had them replace kitchen faucet and garbage disposal also. Will use GEM from now on!
Eric and Steve are great. Got the job done fast. Cleaned up. Terrific work.
We had 2 very old direct vent gas wall heaters replaced. Evan and Steve are the best. They explained everything and did a awesome job for never putting in these Rianni heaters . Kept me informed and answered all my questions and eased my concerns . Couldn't of asked for two better guys. The electrician and his assistant were outstanding with the fact the house was
built in 1925 with older wiring . Chen and his assistant installed 2 dedicated circuit for both heaters to run on and it works out great as now my air conditioner will run on the dedicated circuit this summer. Would recommend all of them for future heating needs .
We had the bathroom one downsized to a smaller unit with no issue what so ever even with them having to remove the bigger one they had put in they were happy to accommodate the issue
They are sweet, knowledgeable and quick. Thank you guys for an excellent job done, I appreciate it.
The gem guys could not have been any nicer. We had to leave and trusted them in our home alone.
Very professional and thorough. Serviced not only my mini-split but my air conditioner and checked my furnace and changed it's filter. Very happy.
The folks at Carmine's/GEM always do a great job👍 Anthony Pena did a great job checking the gas dryer connection and valve. Made sure everything was working properly and that there were no leaks.
Joan Martinez came to my house on an emergency call when my furnace/boiler broke down at 1 am. He diagnosed the issues and unfortunately I needed a new system. GEM installed the new system over the next two days. Everyone on the crew was excellent. I signed up for GEM’s maintenance program because if I had previously it would have prolonged the life of my furnace/boiler. Today Joan Martinez returned to do routine maintenance on my mini splits. He was very thorough and made sure the units are ready for the summer season. I highly recommend and trust Joan Martinez for any job.
Brody you were terrific! So knowledgeable. Appreciate that he showed what might be needed in the future. Thanks Gem Plumbing for sending him. Thanks for coming out Steve and servicing air conditioning and cleaning splits replacing filters as well as making sure it all works. I appreciate the prompt and friendly service. Sincerely I've
Anthony did a great job. He was very professional, friendly, and explained to us what he found and what was needed. Excellent service! Thank you!
Services were very good. Technician was very polite, respectful and knowledgeable. I was very pleased.
Thoughtful and shared every step.
David was friendly and knowledgeable.
Very good experience. Quality work, and professional.
David was very thorough and patient. He was determined to get us a resolution and even ensured he taught us on best practices and troubleshooting techniques.
Although, we had to drop a lot of money today. We are very appreciative of David Santiago and Colin D. David explained everything that was wrong with our system. Even tried to find a way to fix the disaster. Even though we both knew, it wasn't worth it. That's where Colin come in and broke the heart breaking news but helped us find options and worked with us. With that we are VERY thankful for you both! GEM has a life long customer. Thanks guys.
Alex did a great job and most importantly, gained the confidence of my wife. Not an insignificant accomplishment in the middle of major repairs that required shutting off water and not flushing toilets, etc. Thanks Alex!

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.
