Lost our well water tank, great job with replacement. While here had them replace kitchen faucet and garbage disposal also. Will use GEM from now on!
Eric and Steve are great. Got the job done fast. Cleaned up. Terrific work.
We had 2 very old direct vent gas wall heaters replaced. Evan and Steve are the best. They explained everything and did a awesome job for never putting in these Rianni heaters . Kept me informed and answered all my questions and eased my concerns . Couldn't of asked for two better guys. The electrician and his assistant were outstanding with the fact the house was
built in 1925 with older wiring . Chen and his assistant installed 2 dedicated circuit for both heaters to run on and it works out great as now my air conditioner will run on the dedicated circuit this summer. Would recommend all of them for future heating needs .
We had the bathroom one downsized to a smaller unit with no issue what so ever even with them having to remove the bigger one they had put in they were happy to accommodate the issue
They are sweet, knowledgeable and quick. Thank you guys for an excellent job done, I appreciate it.
The gem guys could not have been any nicer. We had to leave and trusted them in our home alone.
Very professional and thorough. Serviced not only my mini-split but my air conditioner and checked my furnace and changed it's filter. Very happy.
The folks at Carmine's/GEM always do a great job๐Ÿ‘ Anthony Pena did a great job checking the gas dryer connection and valve. Made sure everything was working properly and that there were no leaks.
Joan Martinez came to my house on an emergency call when my furnace/boiler broke down at 1 am. He diagnosed the issues and unfortunately I needed a new system. GEM installed the new system over the next two days. Everyone on the crew was excellent. I signed up for GEMโ€™s maintenance program because if I had previously it would have prolonged the life of my furnace/boiler. Today Joan Martinez returned to do routine maintenance on my mini splits. He was very thorough and made sure the units are ready for the summer season. I highly recommend and trust Joan Martinez for any job.
Brody you were terrific! So knowledgeable. Appreciate that he showed what might be needed in the future. Thanks Gem Plumbing for sending him.

David was very thorough and patient. He was determined to get us a resolution and even ensured he taught us on best practices and troubleshooting techniques.
Although, we had to drop a lot of money today. We are very appreciative of David Santiago and Colin D. David explained everything that was wrong with our system. Even tried to find a way to fix the disaster. Even though we both knew, it wasn't worth it. That's where Colin come in and broke the heart breaking news but helped us find options and worked with us. With that we are VERY thankful for you both! GEM has a life long customer. Thanks guys.
Alex did a great job and most importantly, gained the confidence of my wife. Not an insignificant accomplishment in the middle of major repairs that required shutting off water and not flushing toilets, etc. Thanks Alex!
Technician was very knowledgeable, professional and thorough. I was extremely pleased with his service.
Techs were very informative- helpful and thorough


How to Know When You Need a New Water Heater Installed

The signs of a dying water heater are hard to miss.

These indicators are common in aging water heaters throughout Falmouth. GEM can assess whether yours needs replacing.

Water heaters have a limited service life. Once yours enters the 10 to 12 year range, efficiency drops and the risk of sudden failure climbs. Replacing before breakdown lets you plan the upgrade on your schedule.

Water pooling around the base of your water heater indicates internal failure. Once a tank starts leaking, it cannot be repaired. Replacing it quickly prevents water damage to your home.

When hot water swings between too hot and lukewarm without pattern, your water heater is struggling. Failing thermostats, sediment buildup, or aging heating elements can all cause this. If basic service doesn’t solve it, water heater replacement in Falmouth is the answer.

A single repair on a younger system makes sense. But if you’ve called for service multiple times in the past year or two, those costs are adding up. At some point, water heater replacement in Falmouth becomes the better investment.

We Install All Types of Water Heaters in Falmouth

Choosing the right water heater means matching capacity to your household’s needs. GEM guides you to the best solution.

Here’s a look at the types of water heaters we install in Falmouth:

Tank water heater installation in Falmouth is the tried-and-true choice for most households. These units store 40-80 gallons of heated water, ready whenever you need it. Tank models work with gas or electric power, install affordably, and deliver dependable performance for families running showers, laundry, and dishes throughout the day. For consistent hot water without surprises, a properly sized tank water heater gets the job done.

Tankless water heater installation in Falmouth appeals to homeowners who want endless hot water and energy savings. These compact units heat water on demand as it passes through, so you never run out mid-shower. Tankless systems mount on walls, freeing up floor space in tight basements or utility closets. GEM installs tankless water heaters in Falmouth homes looking for efficiency and long-term value.

Whether tank or tankless, today’s high-efficiency water heaters cut energy use without sacrificing performance. GEM installs ENERGY STAR certified models that qualify for rebates and lower your monthly utility bills. We’ll help you weigh upfront costs against long-term savings to find the smartest choice for your Falmouth home.

Water Heater Installation FAQs

When does it make more sense to replace my water heater instead of repairing it?

Three situations typically point toward replacement: age over 10 years, a leaking tank, or repair costs exceeding half the price of new equipment. In Falmouth’s beach homes, village properties, and estates, we often see water heaters that have been patched multiple times but keep developing new problems. At that point, you’re throwing money at a system that’s fundamentally failing. GEM can help you weigh the costs and make the decision that’s right for your situation.

Does Mass Save offer incentives for water heater replacement?

They do, for qualifying high-efficiency models. The program offers rebates that can make upgrading to efficient equipment more affordable for Falmouth homeowners. GEM helps you navigate the options and choose equipment that qualifies for maximum savings. We’re familiar with the current programs and can guide you through the application process.

How do I maintain my new water heater?

Annual flushing to remove sediment buildup extends water heater life and maintains efficiency. The anode rod should be checked every few years and replaced when depleted since it protects the tank from corrosion. GEM’s Home Comfort Club includes maintenance visits that handle these tasks. For Falmouth homes with hard water, more frequent flushing may be beneficial.

How does GEM determine what capacity water heater my household needs?

We look at several factors specific to your Falmouth home: how many people live there, number of bathrooms, whether you have high-flow showerheads or standard fixtures, and when your peak usage occurs. A household where everyone showers in the morning has different needs than one where usage is spread throughout the day. We also consider your existing infrastructure since upgrading from a 40-gallon to an 80-gallon tank may require electrical or venting modifications.

Will you haul away my existing water heater?

Absolutely. Removal and disposal are standard parts of our service for Falmouth customers. We disconnect your old water heater, carefully remove it from your home to avoid damage to floors or walls, and take it for proper disposal. Your installation price includes everything from removal to cleanup.
