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!!
The GEM service technicians showed up promptly. They were quick and efficient with their service. They had good recommendations and were very cordial. I would call on them again.

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.


How to Know When You Need a New Water Heater Installed

Understanding when to replace your water heater saves headaches.

North Kingstown homes often have water heaters exhibiting these warning signs. GEM can determine if replacement is right for you.

Most water heaters last 8 to 12 years. If yours is approaching or past the 10-year mark, efficiency has likely dropped and the risk of failure increases. Replacing now avoids unexpected breakdowns and the inconvenience that comes with them.

Discolored hot water or visible rust on the tank exterior signals corrosion inside. While sometimes caused by aging pipes, rust in hot water that clears up after running usually points to the water heater itself. This problem only gets worse.

If your water heater used to recover quickly between uses but now takes hours, age and sediment are catching up. When flushing no longer helps, the system is losing capacity. Replacement restores reliable hot water.

For gas water heaters, a pilot light that keeps going out indicates a failing thermocouple or other component. While sometimes repairable, recurring pilot problems in older units often point toward replacement being the better investment.

We Install All Types of Water Heaters in North Kingstown

GEM offers water heater options to fit different households and priorities.

Here’s what we install:

Tankless systems heat water on demand, so you never run out. There’s no tank to keep warm, which saves energy. They’re compact and work well when space is at a premium. GEM installs tankless water heaters in North Kingstown for homeowners seeking efficiency and endless supply.

Tank models store hot water so it’s ready when you need it. They’re reliable, affordable, and available in sizes to match your household. Most North Kingstown families find tank heaters meet their needs well.

Hybrids use heat pump technology to warm water efficiently. They have a tank for storage but use far less energy than conventional heaters. North Kingstown homeowners interested in lowering utility costs often choose hybrid models.

Water Heater Installation FAQs

Does GEM remove and dispose of my old water heater?

Yes, that’s included with every installation. Our technicians disconnect your old unit, drain it, remove it from your North Kingstown home, and dispose of it properly. You won’t need to deal with hauling a heavy, water-logged tank or figuring out how to recycle it. We leave your space clean and ready to use.

What size water heater do I need for my North Kingstown home?

The right size depends on your household’s actual hot water usage, not just your home’s square footage. A family of four in North Kingstown typically needs a 40 to 50 gallon tank, while a couple might be fine with 30 gallons. GEM’s technicians consider peak usage times, like when everyone’s getting ready in the morning, and recommend a size that meets your demand without wasting energy heating water you won’t use. We’ll size your system based on how your family actually lives.

Is a tankless water heater right for my North Kingstown home?

Tankless can be a great choice if you want unlimited hot water and have adequate gas supply or electrical capacity. They’re compact, which works well in North Kingstown’s antique homes, ranches, and waterfront properties where utility space may be limited. However, they cost more upfront and require specific installation conditions. GEM can assess whether tankless makes sense for your home’s infrastructure and your family’s hot water needs.

Does Rhode Island Energy 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 North Kingstown 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.

How much does water heater installation cost in North Kingstown?

Installation costs vary based on equipment selection, any modifications your home requires, and installation complexity. A basic tank replacement in an accessible location costs less than a tankless installation requiring electrical upgrades or a basement installation with limited access. GEM provides upfront pricing so you know the total cost before we begin work.
