Nice people, quick to respond and knowledgeable. Highly recommend them for emergencies. William T. was great, thank so much
First maintenance on our Generac. All went very smoothly!! Arrived within timeframe provided and even informed on actual arrival that day!
Very polite gentleman who went right to work, provided an update once maintenance was completed and explained basic process performed.
David S, our GEM technician was on time, respectful of our home and provided us with a thorough explanation of our GEM service contract and the scope of work completed and recommended. I would highly recommend him again!
Alec and Scott made quick work of what turned out to be a simple solution. Very efficient, pleasant and explained the issue and recommendation clearly.
Both service calls to my house were with Nick, and I can't say enough good things about him. He's professional, courteous, communicative, and thorough. My only hiccup with Gem has been conflicting information from the office, but even with hiccups the staff have been professional and friendly. Thank you, Gem! You're the best, Nick!
great guy! vaery talented and professional
Joseph (Junior) from GEM Plumbing & Heating came out to do a check on our HVAC system for this season. He was very thorough, knowledgeable, and honest. Our system is in great shape after 16 years. Thank you Joe!!! We were on a contract plan, which was very reasonable, so we paid nothing at the time of service.
Our tech was Joseph (junior), Incredible experience came out the same day.Billed me for the service. Exceptional diagnostics, developed a number of options to fix the problem. We called four other places.First three never showed one showed and walked away, without figuring anything out. Our A/C has been out for 6 wks waiting for people to not show up. YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST CALL GEM FIRST
GEM responded very quickly. I was out of state when my tenant called stating the A/c system wasn't working. I called GEM to see if they would be willing to help me. I didn't have an account with them but they were more than willing to assist me with my broken A/C system.
Nick the technician was very knowledgeable and worked with me while I was out of state and with my tenants. He articulated very well, explaining all the issues, what the repair process would involve and the cost. There were no surprises. My tenants informed me that Nick was terrific !
Nick got the system up and running. Overall, it was a very positive experience and I would highly recommend GEM to anyone.
Great service. Timely response and got the job done. It’s on the pricey side but that’s expected given their quick response time. Joe was particularly good and have had him out twice on our property. Thanks!
From beginning to end the experience was amazing. It started with my man Walter who calmly with humor explained the process and my guys Ben and his partner who took cared of me and my family. They were professional and very knowledgeable about the process. Their patience when not finding my well was welcome. Awesome job
Thank you
The people are nice, punctual, pleasant.
And best of all great prices. I'm very happy with the service.
I was very impressed with Dory . He was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful.
Awesome service and friendly guys.
My name is Fred Brundage West Dennis MA
I had one of Gem Heating and Plumbing plumbers Christopher Rogan repair two broken gas line on an emergency basis. Chris was very professional, courteous and willing to make sure that the inspector was available once the job was completed. I was on a tight schedule to open the house. Gem Heating and Plumbing is a company that can be relied on.
Joan was very helpful – but his arrival was very delayed and communication was not great
They came over right away, diagnosed the problem and fixed it. Fast courteous service.
Chris from GEM arrived as scheduled and resolved a no hot water issue. I even got a GPS map for his truck to our location, and notified when he would arrive. No other company after several calls ( including one we have used for over 7 years would be able to help us for 10 days. With three women in the house that would not work.
Chris diagnosed and fixed our furnace which controls the hot water.
I will be using GEM in future for sure!
Excellent response, installation and knowledgeable services. Technicians were polite, prompt, professional, and kept us informed throughout the job. Would gladly use them for all future HVAC work and service.
Excellent knowledge followed by superior customer service
Jim was great! Pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. He took the time to give me a few options and explained pros and cons. I am very thankful for his input and careful work! He replaced and upgraded faucets outside and new hoses to my washing machine!

Nick was great! He was presented with an unfixable AC problem. I was so impressed that he found this little piece of broken plastic tha caused such a water leak. He was very helpful in explaining options and estimate cost. He also climbed high up on a ladder inside and out to clean my filters. I’m so thankful.

Why Do Homeowners Schedule AC Maintenance?

Every homeowner wants their air conditioner to be there for them when the Boston summers hit in full force.

Cooling systems that are dealing with hidden issues, though, won’t be able to perform the way they should—and that often leads to breakdowns at the worst possible time. Here’s why Boston homeowners schedule regular air conditioning maintenance:

When your air conditioner is clean and properly maintained, it doesn’t have to work as hard to cool your home. Regular tune-ups ensure all moving parts are lubricated, airflow is optimized, and refrigerant levels are balanced for peak performance. This not only helps your system cool your home faster but also reduces energy consumption. The result is a smoother, more consistent cooling experience that you can feel in every room.

An efficient AC system translates directly into lower monthly energy costs. When filters are clogged or components are worn, your air conditioner must run longer to achieve the same temperature—using more electricity in the process. AC maintenance in Boston keeps everything operating at top efficiency, reducing wasted energy and cutting down on unnecessary costs. Over time, these savings can add up significantly, making routine care an investment that pays for itself.

Like any major appliance, your air conditioner will last longer when it’s properly maintained. Regular inspections and cleaning help prevent small issues—such as worn belts or dirty coils—from becoming major breakdowns. By addressing these problems early, you minimize strain on your system’s key components and extend its useful life. With GEM’s professional air conditioning maintenance in Boston, you can delay the need for a costly replacement and enjoy reliable comfort for years to come.

Your AC system doesn’t just cool your home—it also circulates the air you breathe every day. Dust, dirt, and allergens can build up in filters, ducts, and coils, reducing air quality and potentially triggering allergies or respiratory issues. Routine maintenance removes these contaminants and ensures your filters and coils are clean and functioning properly. With cleaner air flowing through your Boston home, you and your family can breathe easier all summer long.

Unexpected breakdowns can be both stressful and expensive, especially during peak summer heat. Regular maintenance gives technicians the opportunity to spot early warning signs—like worn parts or weak electrical connections—before they cause serious damage. Fixing these minor issues early prevents bigger, costlier problems down the line. By keeping your system in top shape year-round, GEM’s Boston AC maintenance helps you avoid surprise repairs and the discomfort of sudden cooling loss.
