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

The service was good.Aiden was very good. It’s just they said they were on there way 2hrs and30 min they finally arrived. Waited all afternoon
The 2 service men were on time, assessed the problem, diagnosed the issue, came up with a plan and offered several solutions for fixing our mini split. They took pictures, tried clearing out mice debris , attempted to get the outside machine to work ( apex 2 hours) Alas a no go, so we decided to scrap it and go with baseboard heater for the room over the garage. Up front information and pricing , no nonsense. Affable techs and so far great service.

I was thoroughly impressed with the superb HVAC maintenance service I received from David Santiago and trainee, Kevin today! Before David and Kevin arrived I was very disappointed with having had my original service date rescheduled to what I thought were spurious reasons? In fact David and Kevin arrived after the designated rescheduled date and time today. GEM's communication was excellent throughout and their people seemed genuine and concerned. When David and Kevin arrived it turned the whole situation around. They could not have been more professional and knowledgable! I am now firmly committed to GEM and their Home Comfort maintenance program.

We just had our heating system replaced. We went from forced hot water system to a central heating and air conditioning system done by GEM plumbing and heating company We had Omar and Michael work in our home for 5 days they installed all the ductwork, the furnace and the condenser. These guys were very professional, kind, clean and informative throughout the whole install every day they explaind what they did and what is the expectation for the next day. Today was the last day they walked me through the whole system, how to change the filter how to operate the new thermostat and what to look for when things are not working properly. I say thank you to the whole team from planing to done, all went great to expectations

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.
