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.

I was thoroughly impressed with the superb HVAC maintenance service I received from David Santiago and trainee, Kevin today! Before David and Kevin arrived I was very disappointed with having had my original service date rescheduled to what I thought were spurious reasons? In fact David and Kevin arrived after the designated rescheduled date and time today. GEM's communication was excellent throughout and their people seemed genuine and concerned. When David and Kevin arrived it turned the whole situation around. They could not have been more professional and knowledgable! I am now firmly committed to GEM and their Home Comfort maintenance program.

We just had our heating system replaced. We went from forced hot water system to a central heating and air conditioning system done by GEM plumbing and heating company We had Omar and Michael work in our home for 5 days they installed all the ductwork, the furnace and the condenser. These guys were very professional, kind, clean and informative throughout the whole install every day they explaind what they did and what is the expectation for the next day. Today was the last day they walked me through the whole system, how to change the filter how to operate the new thermostat and what to look for when things are not working properly. I say thank you to the whole team from planing to done, all went great to expectations

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.
