I know we had snafus getting you guys over here but Aaron showed up today and found out what the problem was corrected it and he also went above and below at the exact right time when I was asking him a question he came down on the ground and grabbed a bolt and helped put up the differential cover that I was working on By starting a couple of bolts! Also, I would like to thank Morgan in the call center for not only getting somebody here today but a supervisor, nice job, thanks again.
Christopher, was great he came to do what he had to do. He got a job done. And I'm very pleased with her, thank you, Chris.
I have used Gem in the past for both plumbing and electrical issues. This time it was a blocked kitchen drain. Turns out it was more than a blocked drain in the PVC under the sink. Nicholas snaked the entire line (down to the basement) to clear out grease and "gunk" that has been literally decades in the making. Because of how this job was handled and because of how the tech talked to me, I am contracting to replace the VERY old 1950's era cast iron pipes in my home.

UPDATE: Work was quickly scheduled. Nicholas arrived today and completed the work. It was a big job. Excellent work.
Chris and Anthony were polite considerate and professional in knowing their jobs and sharing important information concerning our unit.
I really appreciate the honest and integrity in handling our issues. Made us feel confident in our decision making. Very professional but yet personable.

Got a problem with your well pump not working? Not a problem! Call Gem plumbing & heating services. Our 100’ deep well finally lived out its life and stopped working. Not a pleasant experience when suddenly you have to get water somewhere and start filling up buckets. I called on Saturday and they came by within a few hours. They checked the pressure tank first then the well. They came back Monday and installed the new pump. I couldn’t have asked for better service! They were there when I needed them!


How to Know When You Need a New Water Heater Installed

Time for repair or replacement? Here’s how to tell.

If you see these issues, call GEM for an inspection. We help Halifax homeowners understand when replacement makes sense.

Water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years. Once yours approaches that range, performance declines and the chance of failure goes up. Replacing proactively means you choose when it happens.

Moisture around your water heater often signals a slow leak or tank corrosion. These issues only get worse over time. New water heater installation in Halifax stops a small problem from becoming a flooded utility room.

If hot water temperatures vary unpredictably or the supply runs out faster than it used to, your water heater is losing capacity. Aging components and sediment buildup reduce performance over time.

An inefficient water heater uses more energy to produce the same amount of hot water. If your bills have crept up but usage hasn’t changed, your water heater may be the culprit. A new, efficient model brings those costs back down.

We Install All Types of Water Heaters in Halifax

Your home’s hot water needs depend on your family size, daily routines, and available space. GEM helps you find the right fit.

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

Tank water heater installation in Halifax 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 Halifax 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 Halifax 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 Halifax home.

Water Heater Installation FAQs

What warranty comes with new equipment?

Tank water heater warranties typically range from 6 to 12 years on the tank, with parts coverage varying by manufacturer. GEM reviews all warranty details with Halifax customers.

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 Halifax 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.

Do I need a permit for water heater installation?

In most cases, yes. Water heater installation typically requires a permit to ensure the work meets local codes. GEM handles permitting as part of our standard service for Halifax customers. We pull the necessary permits and schedule inspections so you don’t have to navigate that process yourself.

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 Halifax homes with hard water, more frequent flushing may be beneficial.

My water heater is having problems. Should I repair or replace it?

That depends on what’s wrong and how old the unit is. A relatively new water heater with a failed heating element or faulty thermostat is usually worth repairing. But if your system is approaching 10 years old and showing multiple symptoms like inconsistent temperatures, strange noises, and rust in the water, replacement is typically the smarter investment. GEM serves Halifax with honest recommendations, not upsells. We’ll tell you what we’d do if it were our own home.
