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.

Kathleen Allen
Joseph and Dan were Knowledgeable and personable! They explained what was being done and went out of their way to complete the job in good time!! Well worth the money spent!
Anne Carty
So we had a major plumbing disaster that we discovered this morning. Another plumber we tried did not have availability all week. We called Gem and they came out within a few hours. They got right to the issue and diagnosed it. They stopped the leak, so that was a huge relief! Then they referred us to another person from their company who would follow up and take a look at the equipment to see if we need repairs or replacing.
That person is coming this afternoon.On top of that, we had damage to our walls and they recommended a second company that they work in tandem with who is coming tomorrow morning.
All this networking saved us a lot of time and frustration looking for people to solve these issues! Jim and Dan, who came today, were incredibly efficient, very good at communicating and also very pleasant to deal with. Plumbing issues are not fun, but they managed to make it easy and smooth and I am so grateful!
Also, here’s a follow up: Ricky also came and gave me the quote for the boiler and installation. He not only installs these types of equipment, but he also knows how to explain how everything works to the client. He did an excellent job telling me what went wrong and how to troubleshoot it in a way I could understand! He was extremely conscientious and made sure I followed his explanation carefully. Next the plumbers came, and Jacob did an incredible job with his assistant Steve. They were very respectful of my property. They got things done in a timely fashion. I now have heat which was a major factor in this whole incident. Another valve had to be installed on a different floor and a plumber took care of that. Then they sent an Electrician when it came time to install the thermostat. All of these contractors worked in tandem. Lastly, the people who came to clean up the house and make repairs on the walls were also in the loop and referred to by Gem. they also were very respectful and did a really good job in a time saving manner. Before leaving, the plumbers made sure that the new valve which was put in nor the old radiator were not causing any leaks so this wouldn’t happen again in the future So am through the worst with my new boiler working this morning. I feel confident that my old house is in good hands now. Thank you Gem and Cleanworks!

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.
