He explained everything in detail and fixed problem. Friendly and experienced.
Thank you. I would highly recommend Gem plumbing. Thank you Joseph 😊.
Excellent service! The inspection was a breeze!
Very courteous and efficient work done.
Great all around for a large on-demand heating installation project . Very talented team. Very impressed . Will definitely use GEM in the future
This company is very professional and orderly. I called them up and they had somebody out there the next day. They communicated very well letting me know when they were arrive. They finished the job within three hours of arriving. They were very efficient and nice. I would highly recommend them!
Technician Joseph answered a call for my central air not coming on.
He was experienced and knew what to check out. Also, very friendly. I had central air working in no time at at all!!! Thanks Joseph.
The air conditioner serving the second floor of my brand-new house had problems from day one. For months, the builder kept sending different technicians, each trying to fix one issue after another, but no one addressed the actual cause. As a result, the upstairs bedrooms became unbearably hot, and we often had to sleep in the first\-floor family room just to stay comfortable.

Eventually, instead of waiting any longer for another warranty visit, I called GEM Plumbing & Heating – and I’m so glad I did.

GEM sent a technician, Dory, the very next day. He quickly identified the real problem: a refrigerant leak. It turned out that the builder’s technicians had been treating only the symptoms of the leak, such as condensate buildup, rather than finding and fixing the root cause.

Dory returned the following day with the necessary equipment, and resolved the issue. The air conditioning has been working great ever since.

I only wish I had called GEM from the beginning instead of enduring an uncomfortable summer.

A huge thank you to GEM—and especially to Dory—for real expertise and the outstanding service. Highly recommended!
Michael A. really helped us out by replacing our outdoor outlets, and then turning them all to face the way I needed them to work best for me. He also picked out an excellent flood light for our driveway. Michael was super friendly and efficient. Thank you!!
Two very nice, and helpful young men, came to my home. They were there to do an HVAC summer tuneup. They were quick and efficient. Moreover, they helped me move a couple of things as I am a 100% disabled vet who has had to have three right shoulder replacements..
Mini split water leak was evaluated, repaired and reasonably priced for the job.
Richard & Anthony were very professional and provided complete/honest assessment of HVAC system. Would definitely recommend this service.

I willing have all my electrical work done by Gem. Also if needed any plumbing and heating work done also.
I would highly recommend Gem to anyone in need of these services!
Excellent job. Dave is very competent and professional. He’s done work for us in the past and we’re never disappointed.
Joan came out to determine the cause of our AquaCal Pool Heat Pump fault DPO ( defrost sensor code) upon inspection, he found that mice had chewed the wires in three areas. He patched the wires and we are up and running again. The Aquacal company couldn’t be here for over two weeks! GEM has a wonderful team of techs for all your needs. Highly recommended this company for HVAC service. Thank You!
