Here’s Why You Should Replace Your Water Heater

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

Your old unit has been wasting energy. New water heaters use less fuel or electricity to produce the same hot water, meaning lower bills starting immediately.

No more wondering if today is the day it finally quits. A new system delivers consistent hot water whenever your household needs it.

You’ve likely already spent money trying to extend its life. A new water heater ends those recurring repair expenses.

A modern, efficient water heater adds to your home’s value. Buyers appreciate systems that won’t need replacement anytime soon.

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

Richard F. was the first Gem employee I met. My original appointment was to have the air conditioner yearly service (central air). After opening the side panel Richard showed me the black mold and rust inside the unit. NO ONE had ever opened the side panel during a yearly service appointment. There were years of built up black mold. I will NEVER use the companies I have used in the past. Richard presented 2 options. He was not pushy. He simply presented the information to me and answered all of my questions. Richard is respectful both professionally and personally. We scheduled the appointment for the following day (removal of the old unit and condenser and installation of the new.

The following day Richie and John arrived at 7:45AM. Leo then arrived. They worked from the time they arrived (7:45AM-5:00PM) until they completed the job. They are respectful both professionally and personally. They thoroughly explained all the work they did and gave me information that I did not know previously. Again, we get the a/c serviced yearly and no one had ever explained anything. They cleaned up after completing the work. I mean immaculately.
Robert Pressberg

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 require additional time if modifications are needed.

Does well water affect water heater choice?

Yes. Many Foster homes use well water, which can have higher mineral content leading to faster sediment buildup. This makes regular maintenance especially important. GEM’s technicians can advise on the best system and maintenance schedule for your water quality.

What rebates are available through Rhode Island Energy?

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

Does GEM handle 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.
