Foster Heating and Cooling Services
Rhode Island winters hit hard, and rural Foster gets the full force. A house without heat out here is a serious problem.
GEM keeps Foster homes comfortable with heating and cooling services built for rural living.
Air Conditioning
Central AC keeps your whole house cool through summer. When it fails during a heat wave, you feel it everywhere.
AC systems work hardest during extreme heat, which is exactly when they tend to break down. Regular maintenance reduces that risk.
- Air Conditioning Replacement: Old AC at your Foster place running constantly without keeping up? A new unit cools better and costs less to operate.
- Air Conditioning Repair: Foster AC blowing warm air or making grinding sounds? We get out to your place, find the problem, and fix it so you are not sweating through another night.
- Air Conditioning Maintenance: Getting your Foster AC serviced before summer means it will not quit during the first heat wave. We clean it, check it, and make sure it is ready.
- Air Conditioning Installation: Adding AC to your Foster farmhouse or newer home? We size the system for your layout so every room cools properly.
Furnaces
Your furnace keeps your family warm through months of cold. When it fails in a rural area like Foster, you need someone who can get there fast.
Foster homes use various fuel types depending on what is available. Oil and propane furnaces are common where natural gas does not reach. We service all types.
- Furnace Replacement: Old oil or propane furnace at your Foster place burning through fuel? New high-efficiency models deliver more heat from less fuel.
- Furnace Repair: Foster furnace not lighting? Blowing cold? Making banging noises? We diagnose correctly and fix it so it stays fixed.
- Furnace Maintenance: Getting your Foster furnace serviced before winter means you are not calling us during a cold snap. We check everything and make sure it is safe.
- Furnace Installation: New furnace for your Foster home? We work with oil, propane, and gas depending on what you have. Proper sizing means reliable heat without wasting fuel.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps heat in winter and cool in summer while using far less energy. For Foster homeowners tired of oil deliveries and propane bills, they are worth considering.
Heat pumps run on electricity, so no more scheduling fuel deliveries or watching tank levels. As a Clean Heat RI participating installer, we help Foster residents access rebates that make installation more affordable.
- Heat Pump Replacement: Heat pump at your Foster place not keeping up in January? Newer cold-climate models work down to well below zero.
- Heat Pump Repair: Foster heat pump not switching modes or running constantly? We figure out what is wrong and repair it properly.
- Heat Pump Maintenance: Heat pumps run year-round, so they need checkups in spring and fall. We keep Foster systems tuned so they stay efficient.
- Heat Pump Installation: Want to stop dealing with oil deliveries at your Foster home? We design heat pump systems that handle rural Rhode Island winters and summers both.
Ductless Mini-Splits
Older Foster farmhouses and additions often do not have ductwork. Ductless systems let you add heating and cooling without tearing into walls.
Wall-mounted units give you zone control for specific areas. Great for converted barns, workshops, or rooms that never seem comfortable.
- Ductless Mini-Split Replacement: Ductless system at your Foster place getting old? New models are more efficient and quieter. We handle the whole swap.
- Ductless Mini-Split Repair: Ductless unit at your Foster home showing error codes or not responding? We service all brands and get it working again.
- Ductless Mini-Split Maintenance: Ductless systems need filter cleaning and coil checks to run right. We maintain Foster units so they last.
- Ductless Mini-Split Installation: Want to heat and cool your Foster workshop or guest cottage? Ductless units install without running ducts. We set them up so you have control where you need it.
Boilers
Some Foster homes, especially older farmhouses, use boilers for reliable, even heat. These systems last a long time when properly maintained.
Boilers with radiators or baseboard heat have kept families warm for generations. GEM services oil and gas boilers throughout Foster.
Radiant Heating
Radiant floor heat warms your Foster home from the ground up. No cold floors in winter, no drafts from vents.
Popular in renovations and new construction. We design and install radiant systems for homeowners who want serious comfort.
Oil to Gas Conversions
Where natural gas has reached Foster, converting from oil ends the delivery hassles and usually cuts heating costs.
No more watching tank levels or scheduling fill-ups. We handle the whole conversion.
Call (833) 222-2953 to schedule services.
Questions?
Indoor Air Quality in Foster
Rural living has its benefits, but pollen, dust, and allergens are part of the package. The air inside your home matters.
GEM helps Foster homeowners breathe easier.
Humidity Control
Balanced moisture levels year-round.
Too dry in winter, too humid in summer. We install equipment that keeps moisture levels comfortable automatically.
Air Purifiers
Cleaner air for your Foster home.
Whole-home purification removes particles from your air every time the system runs. Less pollen, less dust.
Air Filtration
Advanced filtration for healthier indoor air.
Better filters catch what standard ones miss. Important in wooded areas where pollen and allergens are higher.
Thermostats
Precise temperature control for your Foster home.
Smart thermostats save energy and let you control your Foster home from anywhere. We install and set them up properly.
Air Handlers
The heart of your HVAC airflow.
Air handlers push conditioned air through your ducts. When they have problems, you get uneven temperatures. GEM keeps them working.

HVAC FAQs
Can GEM actually get to Foster quickly?
Yes. Foster is in our regular service area. We dispatch same-day for most calls and reach homes throughout town, even on longer driveways and back roads.
What heating works best if my Foster home is not on natural gas?
Many Foster homes use oil or propane effectively. Heat pumps are increasingly popular because they run on electricity and eliminate fuel delivery concerns. Clean Heat RI rebates help with installation costs. We can evaluate your situation and explain what makes sense.
Are heat pumps practical for Foster winters?
Modern cold-climate heat pumps handle Rhode Island winters well. Many Foster homeowners use them as primary heat, sometimes keeping a furnace as backup for the coldest days. The savings compared to oil or propane are significant.
Does the wooded setting affect my HVAC system?
Trees provide shade that can reduce cooling costs, but they also drop debris on outdoor units. Pollen and allergens are higher in wooded areas, making good filtration more important. Regular maintenance helps manage these factors.
What rebates can Foster homeowners get?
As a Clean Heat RI participating installer, we help you access state rebates on qualifying heat pumps. These programs significantly reduce installation costs. Rhode Island Energy also offers incentives on other efficient equipment.
