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

When to Consider New AC Installation

These signs indicate your cooling system needs replacement rather than another repair.

Watch for these indicators that it’s time to upgrade.

Equipment shouldn’t turn on and off constantly. Short cycling wastes energy, stresses components, and indicates serious problems with capacity or controls. This cycling pattern damages your system while driving up costs. Modern installation eliminates these issues and delivers smooth, efficient operation throughout Exeter homes.

Air conditioning should control moisture levels along with temperature. When your home feels muggy despite AC running, your system isn’t dehumidifying properly anymore. Excessive humidity creates discomfort and can damage your home. Professional replacement restores proper moisture control for Washington County properties.

Older systems using R-22 refrigerant face expensive repairs when leaks develop. R-22 is being phased out, making it costly and difficult to obtain. Rather than paying premium prices for obsolete refrigerant, upgrading to modern equipment using current refrigerants makes better financial sense for Exeter homeowners.

Your AC should handle Rhode Island’s hottest days without issue. When equipment can’t maintain comfortable temperatures during heat waves, it’s underpowered or failing. This leaves you uncomfortable exactly when you need cooling most. New installation provides adequate capacity and reliable performance during extreme weather.

Heat pumps deliver both cooling and heating through one system, cutting energy costs throughout the year. Current models operate effectively even during New England winters, making them excellent choices for Exeter homeowners.

Ductless systems provide efficient cooling without traditional ductwork requirements. They work perfectly for specific rooms, additions, or homes where duct installation isn’t practical, delivering targeted temperature control. GEM specializes in ductless mini-split installation, helping Exeter homeowners achieve precise comfort through quiet, highly efficient equipment.

How much does AC installation typically cost in Exeter?

Costs vary based on system type, capacity, and installation complexity. GEM provides free estimates with transparent pricing. Financing and available rebates make quality cooling affordable for most Exeter homeowners.

What warranty comes with my new AC?

Manufacturer warranties typically cover parts for 5-10 years. GEM also provides installation workmanship warranties. We’ll explain all coverage details during your consultation.

Does my new AC need special maintenance?

Annual professional tune-ups maintain efficiency and prevent failures. Simple tasks like filter changes help between professional visits. GEM’s Home Comfort Club provides comprehensive maintenance services.
