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.

How to Know When You Need a New Furnace Installed

A furnace doesn’t last forever. Recognizing the warning signs helps you plan replacement before you’re stuck without heat. Here are some of the factors our team considers when helping homeowners decide if they need a new furnace:

Energy costs climb when furnace efficiency drops. Older systems burn more fuel to generate the same warmth, wasting money every month. If your bills keep rising despite normal usage, your heating system in Cranston is probably losing efficiency. Modern furnaces can cut those costs significantly.

Furnaces that run constantly but can’t keep your home warm have lost their capacity. Undersized equipment, outdated technology, or deteriorating components cause this problem. A properly sized new system heats faster, maintains comfort consistently, and operates more quietly.

Systems that break down repeatedly are on their last legs. Paying for multiple service calls each season costs more than investing in reliable new equipment. Instead of patching an aging oil furnace in Cranston, replacement delivers dependable warmth and long-term savings.

Most furnaces last around 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. Once yours reaches that age range, efficiency drops and reliability suffers. Exploring replacement options now prevents emergency situations during cold Cranston winters. When you need furnace installation in Cranston, GEM is here to help.

We Install All Types of Furnaces in Cranston

Every home is different, and so are its heating needs. At GEM, we install a full range of furnace types to suit your home’s layout, energy source, and efficiency goals.

Our licensed HVAC technicians will help you choose the best system for your space, budget, and long-term comfort. Here’s a look at the types of furnaces we install in Cranston:

Gas furnaces are one of the most common and efficient heating options in Cranston and across New England. They use natural gas to produce steady, reliable heat, making them a cost-effective choice for most homeowners. With modern high-efficiency models, you can enjoy powerful performance and lower energy bills on even the coldest winter nights.

Oil furnaces are a dependable solution for homes that don’t have access to natural gas service. Known for producing strong, consistent heat, oil systems are ideal for older properties or areas throughout Rhode Island where gas lines aren’t available. GEM’s team installs and maintains oil furnaces built for today’s higher efficiency standards, giving you comfort without excessive fuel use.

Electric furnaces are clean, quiet, and easy to maintain, making them a great option for smaller homes or households looking to avoid fossil fuels. These systems convert electrical energy directly into heat and can pair well with renewable energy sources. GEM’s experts can help you select an electric furnace that provides reliable warmth and complements your home’s overall energy strategy.

Solar-assisted furnaces are an eco-friendly way to reduce energy costs and your home’s carbon footprint. These systems use solar panels to capture and store energy, which supplements your furnace’s power supply. GEM’s technicians can help design and install a solar-supported heating solution that keeps your home comfortable while maximizing efficiency.

Don’t see your preferred type of furnace listed here? GEM also installs horizontal, upflow, and downflow furnaces to suit your Cranston home’s specific needs.

  • Horizontal Furnaces: For smaller spaces, horizontal furnaces are installed on their side, perfect for attics, crawl spaces, or tight basements.
  • Downflow Furnaces: Suitable for attics or other high placements, downflow models pull in air from above, distributing it downwards.
  • Horizontal Furnaces: For smaller spaces, horizontal furnaces are installed on their side, perfect for attics, crawl spaces, or tight basements.

Furnace Installation FAQs

When should I consider replacing my furnace?

Age over 15 years, multiple breakdowns each season, climbing fuel costs, or uneven heating all indicate replacement time. GEM can evaluate your system and provide an honest recommendation about its remaining life.

What’s involved in installing a new furnace?

Standard installations typically take 6 to 8 hours. We remove old equipment, install your new system, connect fuel lines, verify venting, test everything thoroughly, and clean up completely. Complex jobs requiring ductwork changes may need additional time.

How long will my new furnace last?

Expect 15 to 20 years from a properly maintained system. Regular annual service extends equipment life and maintains efficiency. Skipping maintenance shortens lifespan significantly.

Should I replace in fall or wait until spring?

Fall installation avoids winter demand and ensures you’re ready before cold weather. However, if your system fails mid-winter, GEM provides emergency replacement service year-round. Don’t suffer without heat waiting for ideal timing.

What factors determine furnace size?

Square footage, insulation quality, window type and quantity, and overall home efficiency all affect sizing. Our technicians perform heat load calculations to determine correct capacity for your specific home.
