Here’s Why You Should Replace Your Water Heater

You already know your water heater needs to go. Here’s what you gain by moving forward.

Your old water heater has been wasting energy for a while now. Modern systems use far less energy to heat the same amount of water, which means lower utility bills starting the day we install your new unit.

No more guessing whether today is the day it finally quits. A new system ensures you’ll have steady, dependable access to hot water whenever you need it, ending the uncertainty you’ve been living with.

You’ve probably already spent money trying to keep your old unit going. Replacing it eliminates those recurring repair costs and gives you peace of mind knowing your new unit is built to perform reliably for years.

Upgrading to a modern, efficient water heater improves comfort and savings while boosting your home’s overall value. Potential buyers appreciate newer systems that won’t need replacement anytime soon.

We had a leak in the feed tube going into our toilet. It leaked down through the ceiling into our kitchen. I called GEM and they sent technicians right out to fix the problem. The technicians arrived, assessed the problem and gave us a very reasonable quote. The technician also noticed veteran plates on my car and applied a 10% discount! They fixed the problem, noticed that the feed tubes to my sink didn't look good and corrected them as well. Both technicians were very personable and kind. They helped lower our anxiety as well. Great experience! Highly recommend GEM plumbing!

Two great gentlemen (Brandon and Maxwell) came to my house to fix a leaking faucet. They explain all the questions from me and wife. They even give nice advice about reglazing the sink. Due to the distance between the cabinet and the sink, they tried very hard to find the best possible solution for us and install a new faucet. It is a wonderful job!! Highly recommended!!
The GEM service technicians showed up promptly. They were quick and efficient with their service. They had good recommendations and were very cordial. I would call on them again.

I have already posted a 5 star review and want to post another. Four years after becoming a GEM customer, I remain totally satisfied with their service. I could name a lot of names: Nathan Campbell, Tony Rossi, Michael Hassel, Steven Gray and his partner Chase, and others who have all been incredibly responsive and totally dedicated to solving the problem at hand. I think for an organization as large as GEM they have managed to recruit and train a great group of professionals. All that matters to me is quick access to such a good group caring pros.

The service and attention to detail is excellent. They identified the problems with 2 toilets and 2 shower faucets and resolved every issue with the least amount of disruption. They even went the extra mile to identify the cause of a ceiling stain to make sure it wasn't from water. I recommend them highly for quality of work, knowledge and efficiency.

Water Heater Replacement FAQs

How quickly can GEM install my new water heater?

Most replacements are completed in two to four hours. Since you already know you need a new unit, we can often schedule same-day installation. Tankless systems may take longer if gas line or venting modifications are needed.

Should I choose a tank or tankless water heater?

It depends on your household’s hot water usage, available space, and budget. Tank water heaters cost less upfront and work well for most homes. Tankless models cost more initially but provide endless hot water and last longer. GEM’s plumbers can help you decide what makes sense for your Exeter home.

What rebates are available in Rhode Island?

Rhode Island Energy offers rebates on qualifying high-efficiency water heaters, including heat pump models. GEM helps Exeter homeowners identify which models qualify and assists with the rebate paperwork.

Does GEM handle the removal of my old water heater?

Yes. We disconnect and remove your old unit as part of every replacement. You don’t have to worry about disposal.
