Our technicians have solved every type of cooling problem and know exactly how to fix yours.

GEM’s air conditioning repair team handles the full range of issues New Bedford homeowners encounter.

When your air conditioner won’t respond to the thermostat, something has failed. Our air conditioning repair technicians in New Bedford will trace the problem through electrical connections, controls, and components to get your system running again.

If your AC runs but can’t keep up with demand, your home stays uncomfortable. GEM’s air conditioning repair specialists in New Bedford will diagnose whether refrigerant issues, compressor problems, or airflow restrictions are limiting your system’s output.

Water leaking from ceiling registers indicates condensation problems that need immediate attention. Our New Bedford team will identify whether clogged drains, frozen coils, or insulation issues are causing the leak and fix it properly.

An air conditioner that turns on and off rapidly wastes energy and damages components. Our air conditioning repair team in New Bedford will determine whether thermostat placement, refrigerant levels, or oversized equipment is causing the problem.

Musty or moldy smells when your AC runs indicate biological growth inside your system that affects air quality. GEM provides expert air conditioning repair in New Bedford to clean your system and eliminate the source of odors.

The technician arrived. He came in and diagnosed the problem with my ductless system. He was able to get my system functioning, even though he didn’t have the pot needed to be replaced so temporarily we can run the system as it is he did he did his job by diagnosing the issue and doing a temporary fix?
I called GEM for a weekend, short notice pipe repair, and everyone was great from Hendry who I spoke to on the phone, to the two technicians Alec and Danny. They worked quickly, communicated clearly, and worked with me to come up with a solution I was happy with the price and result of. I would definitely call them in the future when things pop up.
Can’t say enough good things about Gem Plumbing and Thomas in particular. I easily got a came day appointment, Thomas the tech was here in the agreed upon window, provided 2 alternative estimates and once we selected, he completed the job right away – no need to make another appointment and come back another day. Great work, and even better service!
Chris A diagnosed my tankless water heater problem and repaired it quickly and efficiently. He answered all my questions with clear answers and was very helpful in alleviating any of my concerns. He gave excellent service!
Fast and knowledgeable service technicians.
William and Mark were excellent! They explained everything that they were doing and included us through the whole process. Would recommend them highly.
Very prompt and professional service!
The service provided by Mark and his partner was incredible. They took the time to explain all details of the situation and even helped make a call to a remediation company. They cleaned up after themselves and were very easy to discuss the repair process with.
Always a pleasure, professional expert service. Solving any problem simple or difficult!
Came even late at night to make sure we had working air conditioning
The team that installed the unit (Luis Herrera Mezquita Et al) was very professional and explained things thoroughly. I would highly recommend them.
Great customer service and understanding with us, and answered all our questions.

. GEM came for heat pump ac semi annual maintenance
As always very pleased to have GEM for all of my plumbing and electrical needs!
Thank you GEM
Was very impressed with Gems
Tech who was able to repair our AC units during our first real heat wave.
Hope to do business with Gem at our new home soon
Thomas from GEM came out today for my annual air-conditioning service, and I couldn’t be more impressed. He performed a thorough inspection, topped off all the necessary fluids, checked and adjusted my filters, and made sure everything was running smoothly and efficiently.

What really went above and beyond was that he noticed a hornets’ nest growing next to my air-conditioning unit and took care of it for me on the spot. That was something I hadn’t even realized needed attention, and it saved me from a potentially unpleasant surprise later on!

Thomas was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire visit. It’s rare to find someone who pays such close attention to the details and takes such pride in their work. GEM is fortunate to have him on their team. Thank you, Thomas, for the outstanding service!
Technicians were highly qualified. Very knowledgeable and professional. Respectful towards me and my home. Completed installation with in timeframe and cleaned up the areas they worked in. My issue is with whoever issued the system’s equipment. After 6 hours of working the technicians discovered they had been given the wrong system until! Resulting in them having to return for another 6 hour work day! This resulted in an additional day of inconvenience for myself and my family. No one from the Gem administration/management team has contacted me to apologize or offer reconciliation. I am happy with the product and the performance of the technical staff. But not with the treatment from management.
We had a tree branch fall and take out all of our electric equipment. GEM answered immediately and got someone out quickly. Mike Alberto got the job done quickly and explained everything as he went along. Great job!
I would recommend Corey Mayo for his expertise and would love to take his service again when needed

Can you work on AC systems in older New Bedford homes?

Absolutely. Many New Bedford homes feature pre-war architecture with unique cooling challenges. Our NATE-certified technicians are experienced with older buildings, whether you have a Victorian in the West End, a historic home near Buttonwood Park, or a converted mill loft downtown.

Why does my New Bedford home feel humid even with AC running?

High indoor humidity despite air conditioning often indicates an oversized system, low refrigerant, or equipment problems. Coastal New Bedford’s humid climate makes proper dehumidification especially important. Our air conditioning repair technicians will diagnose the issue and restore comfortable humidity levels.

How often should New Bedford homeowners schedule AC maintenance?

Annual maintenance is essential for New Bedford homes, especially given the coastal humidity that forces systems to work harder. Regular tune-ups keep your AC efficient, reduce breakdown risk, and help equipment last longer through demanding summer conditions.
