Our NATE-certified technicians arrive prepared, diagnose accurately, and repair correctly the first time. Same-day appointments, 24/7 emergency response, honest pricing.

Just completed AC tune up with Nick R. Courteous and knowledgeable service. Thorough and friendly. Arrived on time and explained his intent. Highly recommend!
Richard F. was the first Gem employee I met. My original appointment was to have the air conditioner yearly service (central air). After opening the side panel Richard showed me the black mold and rust inside the unit. NO ONE had ever opened the side panel during a yearly service appointment. There were years of built up black mold. I will NEVER use the companies I have used in the past. Richard presented 2 options. He was not pushy. He simply presented the information to me and answered all of my questions. Richard is respectful both professionally and personally. We scheduled the appointment for the following day (removal of the old unit and condenser and installation of the new.

The following day Richie and John arrived at 7:45AM. Leo then arrived. They worked from the time they arrived (7:45AM-5:00PM) until they completed the job. They are respectful both professionally and personally. They thoroughly explained all the work they did and gave me information that I did not know previously. Again, we get the a/c serviced yearly and no one had ever explained anything. They cleaned up after completing the work. I mean immaculately.
He came over on Easter Sunday and helped us with a big problem that could not wait. He explained everything in detail. He stayed until the problem was resolved. Really nice guy.

FAQ

Do you provide same-day AC repair in Bristol?

Yes. GEM offers same-day air conditioning repair throughout Bristol, from the historic district along Hope Street to waterfront properties on Poppasquash Point.

Can you work on AC in Bristol’s historic homes?

Absolutely. Many Bristol properties date to the 18th and 19th centuries with retrofitted cooling systems. Our technicians understand preservation considerations and work within the constraints of historic construction.

What energy incentives are available to Bristol homeowners?

As a Rhode Island Energy partner, GEM helps Bristol residents access rebates for energy-efficient cooling equipment. We’ll explain available programs and help you maximize savings.

Why does my Bristol waterfront home stay humid?

Harbor proximity to Narragansett Bay creates higher ambient humidity than inland locations. If your home feels clammy despite running AC, you may have undersized equipment, low refrigerant, or condensate drainage problems. Our technicians diagnose the specific cause.

How often should Bristol homeowners schedule AC maintenance?

Annual maintenance is essential for Bristol homes. Coastal exposure accelerates equipment wear from salt air, and historic construction adds complexity that benefits from regular professional attention.
