GEM: Your Local Johnston Furnace Installation Company
Johnston sits at higher elevation than Providence, and that means colder overnight lows and different heating demands than properties closer to sea level.
The Route 6 corridor through town sees plenty of traffic but not much foot traffic – this is residential Rhode Island where homes are spread out and heating systems work hard all winter. GEM’s technicians have worked in Providence County for decades.
We know which furnaces hold up through 15 Rhode Island winters and which ones don’t. We account for your property’s elevation, insulation, and layout when we size equipment – not just square footage from a tax card.

What Our Customers Are Saying
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
We found roots growing in an old, 2-foot, cast-iron section of my main drainage pipe.
He used a blade attachment and cleared the obstruction to the best of his ability. Then left me with a quote to have the 2-foot section of cast iron replaced with PVC—which is only a small section that penetrated the foundation of my home.
I was very happy with the service, and most importantly the transparent approach which allowed me to make informed decisions.
Nate’s customer service skills were out of this world. I advise GEM Plumbing to invest in this young man.
I had two whole house central AC units replaced (19 yrs old) and their team and other parts of the company (Plumbling, electrical, etc.) worked together to do an unbelieable installation in very hot conditions. My hats off to your company and we are so impressed that I contracted GEM to install a whole house 25kw generator.

How to Know When You Need a New Furnace Installed
Your furnace won’t last forever, and recognizing when replacement makes sense can prevent sudden breakdowns and higher energy costs.
Here are the key factors our team considers when helping decide if you need a new heating system:
If your furnace needs frequent service visits or keeps breaking down throughout the heating season, you’re likely spending more on repairs than the system is worth. Instead of continuing to patch an aging unit, invest in a new furnace for reliable comfort and long-term savings.
When some rooms stay warm while others remain cold, your furnace may no longer be distributing heat properly. This often happens when the blower motor weakens or internal components wear out, signaling that replacement is the smarter choice. When you need furnace installation in Johnston, GEM is here to help.
If your energy bills continue climbing even though your heating habits haven’t changed, your furnace is probably losing efficiency. Older systems must work harder to generate the same amount of heat, wasting energy and increasing costs. A modern, high-efficiency furnace can dramatically reduce those monthly expenses.
Most heating systems last around 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance. If yours is approaching that age, start exploring replacement options before it fails during a frigid Johnston winter. If your heating system in Johnston is nearing the end of its expected lifespan, upgrading now prevents emergency situations later.

We Install All Types of Furnaces in Johnston
Every home has different heating requirements, and at GEM, we install a complete range of furnace types to match your home’s layout, energy source, and efficiency goals.
Our licensed HVAC technicians will help you choose the best system for your space, budget, and long-term comfort. Here’s a look at the types of furnaces we install in Johnston:
Gas furnaces are among the most popular and efficient heating options throughout Rhode Island. They run on natural gas to deliver steady, powerful heat, making them a smart choice for homes with gas service. GEM installs gas furnaces in Johnston that provide reliable performance and help lower your monthly energy bills, even during the coldest winter nights.
For homes without access to natural gas lines, oil furnaces offer a proven, dependable heating solution. These systems generate strong, consistent warmth and handle New England winters with ease. GEM installs high-efficiency oil furnaces in Johnston designed to maximize heat output while minimizing fuel consumption, giving you reliable comfort throughout the heating season.
Electric furnaces deliver clean, quiet heat without requiring gas connections or oil storage tanks. They’re an excellent option for smaller homes or properties where electricity is the primary energy source. GEM installs and services electric furnaces that provide even, comfortable warmth with minimal maintenance requirements.
If reducing your environmental footprint while cutting heating costs appeals to you, solar-assisted furnaces combine renewable energy with traditional heating methods. These systems use solar panels to capture energy from the sun, supplementing your furnace’s power needs. GEM can help design and install solar-supported heating solutions that deliver sustainable comfort year-round.

- Horizontal Furnaces: For smaller spaces, horizontal furnaces are installed on their side, perfect for attics, crawl spaces, or tight basements.
