GEM plumbing recently installed a ductless minisplit system in my home. The installers did an excellent job. They were extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and patient. They communicated with me every step of the way and took the time to answer all of my questions. The system is working beautifully. If you are looking for a contractor to install a ductless minisplit system, I highly recommend GEM plumbing.
I do wish it hadn’t been so expensive, but I will say I really did feel like my technician understood what he was doing. He was knowledgeable and professional. He explained things well and I’d be happy to work with him again.

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.


How to Know When You Need a New Water Heater Installed

When repairs stop making sense, replacement is the answer.

GEM has seen these issues countless times in East Greenwich homes. Here’s what suggests your water heater may need replacing.

Water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years. Once yours approaches that range, performance declines and the chance of failure goes up. Replacing proactively means you choose when it happens.

Moisture around your water heater often signals a slow leak or tank corrosion. These issues only get worse over time. New water heater installation in East Greenwich stops a small problem from becoming a flooded utility room.

If hot water temperatures vary unpredictably or the supply runs out faster than it used to, your water heater is losing capacity. Aging components and sediment buildup reduce performance over time.

An inefficient water heater uses more energy to produce the same amount of hot water. If your bills have crept up but usage hasn’t changed, your water heater may be the culprit. A new, efficient model brings those costs back down.

We Install All Types of Water Heaters in East Greenwich

Water heater technology offers several options, each suited to different household needs.

GEM helps East Greenwich homeowners navigate choices and install the right system. Here’s what we offer:

Tankless units heat water on demand as it flows through, eliminating stored water entirely. This provides endless hot water while avoiding standby energy loss. The compact design saves valuable space. GEM installs tankless water heaters in East Greenwich for homeowners wanting efficiency and unlimited supply.

Conventional tanks maintain heated water ready whenever you need it. These reliable systems offer proven performance and affordable installation costs. Most East Greenwich families find tank heaters meet their daily needs effectively.

Hybrid systems extract warmth from surrounding air to heat water, achieving remarkable efficiency gains. They keep a tank of hot water available while dramatically reducing energy consumption. East Greenwich homeowners focused on savings often choose hybrid models.

Water Heater Installation FAQs

When should I start thinking about replacing my water heater?

Once your water heater approaches 10 years old, it’s wise to start planning for replacement even if it’s still working. That way you can research options, budget accordingly, and replace on your schedule rather than in an emergency. Many East Greenwich homeowners find that proactive replacement avoids the inconvenience and potential water damage of an unexpected failure.

Can GEM handle water heater emergencies in East Greenwich?

Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout East Greenwich and the Kent County area. If your water heater fails unexpectedly, leaks, or poses a safety concern, call us immediately. Our technicians can respond quickly to assess the situation and get your hot water restored as soon as possible.

What maintenance does a water heater need?

Regular maintenance includes annual flushing to remove sediment, periodic anode rod inspection, and checking the pressure relief valve. These simple tasks extend equipment life and maintain efficiency. Many East Greenwich homeowners find it easier to have GEM handle maintenance through our Home Comfort Club, which includes scheduled service visits and priority scheduling if problems arise.

How much can I save with an efficient water heater?

That depends on your current equipment and usage, but the savings can be substantial. Upgrading from an older standard tank to a high-efficiency model typically reduces water heating costs by 10 to 20%. Switching to a heat pump water heater can cut costs in half. For a East Greenwich household spending $50 a month on water heating, that’s real money over the 10 to 15 year life of the equipment.

Should I get a gas or electric water heater for my East Greenwich home?

That often depends on what’s already in your home. If you have natural gas service and existing gas lines to your water heater location, a gas unit typically offers faster recovery times and lower operating costs. If you’re electric-only, an electric water heater or heat pump model avoids the expense of running new gas lines. GEM evaluates your East Greenwich home’s infrastructure and helps you choose the option that makes practical and financial sense.
