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.

Don’t Trust Your Home & Family to Just Anyone.

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.
