Here’s Why You Should Replace Your Water Heater

Your water heater gave out. Here’s what the new one brings to the table.

The obvious win: hot water restored. Showers, dishes, laundry, all back to normal starting this afternoon.

Your previous system failed you. A new water heater means consistent, dependable hot water without that lingering worry about the next breakdown.

That old unit was likely hemorrhaging energy before it died. Your replacement uses less fuel or electricity to heat the same volume of water, trimming your utility bills from here on out.

Getting this handled now means you won’t face this emergency again for a long time. A new water heater runs reliably for 10 to 15 years with basic upkeep.

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

We had a leak in the feed tube going into our toilet. It leaked down through the ceiling into our kitchen. I called GEM and they sent technicians right out to fix the problem. The technicians arrived, assessed the problem and gave us a very reasonable quote. The technician also noticed veteran plates on my car and applied a 10% discount! They fixed the problem, noticed that the feed tubes to my sink didn't look good and corrected them as well. Both technicians were very personable and kind. They helped lower our anxiety as well. Great experience! Highly recommend GEM plumbing!

Two great gentlemen (Brandon and Maxwell) came to my house to fix a leaking faucet. They explain all the questions from me and wife. They even give nice advice about reglazing the sink. Due to the distance between the cabinet and the sink, they tried very hard to find the best possible solution for us and install a new faucet. It is a wonderful job!! Highly recommended!!

We had a pipe in our basement develop a pin hole leak that soaked a ceiling tile and was raining down in our basement. Within 3 hours they had dispatched Nick, diagnosed the problem, we had a new pipe and everything was back to normal.

I have already posted a 5 star review and want to post another. Four years after becoming a GEM customer, I remain totally satisfied with their service. I could name a lot of names: Nathan Campbell, Tony Rossi, Michael Hassel, Steven Gray and his partner Chase, and others who have all been incredibly responsive and totally dedicated to solving the problem at hand. I think for an organization as large as GEM they have managed to recruit and train a great group of professionals. All that matters to me is quick access to such a good group caring pros.

The service and attention to detail is excellent. They identified the problems with 2 toilets and 2 shower faucets and resolved every issue with the least amount of disruption. They even went the extra mile to identify the cause of a ceiling stain to make sure it wasn't from water. I recommend them highly for quality of work, knowledge and efficiency.

Water Heater Replacement FAQs

How quickly can GEM reach my Johnston home?

Emergency calls go to the front of the line. If you contact us in the morning, we can typically complete your full replacement before dinner.

What if I’m not sure which water heater is right for my home?

Our technician evaluates your household’s needs and presents suitable options on site. We carry common models in our trucks, which often means same-day installation without scheduling a return visit.

Does emergency replacement cost more than a scheduled appointment?

GEM maintains the same transparent pricing for emergency calls as for planned work. You receive a clear estimate before we begin.

Can I still get rebates on an emergency replacement?

Yes. Rhode Island Energy rebates apply whether your replacement was scheduled or urgent. GEM helps Johnston homeowners find qualifying models and handles the rebate paperwork.
