Here’s Why You Should Replace Your Water Heater

Your old water heater has to go. Here’s what moving forward actually gets you.

That aging unit has been burning through energy for years. Today’s water heaters deliver the same hot water output while consuming significantly less fuel or electricity, cutting your utility costs from day one.

The days of wondering whether you’ll get a warm shower are finished. A new system provides consistent, reliable hot water on demand, eliminating the anxiety of living with failing equipment.

Whatever you’ve spent patching up your old water heater, that expense ends now. Replacement puts a stop to those recurring service calls and gives you years of trouble-free operation ahead.

A modern, efficient water heater improves more than your daily comfort. It adds tangible value to your property, something future buyers will notice and appreciate when the time comes.

The service was good.Aiden was very good. It’s just they said they were on there way 2hrs and30 min they finally arrived. Waited all afternoon
The 2 service men were on time, assessed the problem, diagnosed the issue, came up with a plan and offered several solutions for fixing our mini split. They took pictures, tried clearing out mice debris , attempted to get the outside machine to work ( apex 2 hours) Alas a no go, so we decided to scrap it and go with baseboard heater for the room over the garage. Up front information and pricing , no nonsense. Affable techs and so far great service.

I was thoroughly impressed with the superb HVAC maintenance service I received from David Santiago and trainee, Kevin today! Before David and Kevin arrived I was very disappointed with having had my original service date rescheduled to what I thought were spurious reasons? In fact David and Kevin arrived after the designated rescheduled date and time today. GEM's communication was excellent throughout and their people seemed genuine and concerned. When David and Kevin arrived it turned the whole situation around. They could not have been more professional and knowledgable! I am now firmly committed to GEM and their Home Comfort maintenance program.

We just had our heating system replaced. We went from forced hot water system to a central heating and air conditioning system done by GEM plumbing and heating company We had Omar and Michael work in our home for 5 days they installed all the ductwork, the furnace and the condenser. These guys were very professional, kind, clean and informative throughout the whole install every day they explaind what they did and what is the expectation for the next day. Today was the last day they walked me through the whole system, how to change the filter how to operate the new thermostat and what to look for when things are not working properly. I say thank you to the whole team from planing to done, all went great to expectations

Water Heater Replacement FAQs

How long does a water heater replacement take?

Typical installations run two to four hours from start to finish. We can often get you scheduled for same-day service. Tankless conversions may require additional time if gas line or venting work is involved.

Should I choose a tank or tankless water heater?

That depends on your household’s demand, available space, and what you want to spend. Traditional tank units have lower upfront costs and serve most homes well. Tankless systems cost more initially but supply unlimited hot water and typically outlast tank models. GEM’s plumbers can talk through what makes sense for your North Providence home.

What rebates are available in Rhode Island?

Rhode Island Energy provides rebates on qualifying high-efficiency water heaters, including heat pump units. GEM helps North Providence homeowners determine which systems qualify and handles the rebate paperwork on your behalf.

Does GEM remove my old water heater?

Absolutely. Disconnection and removal of your existing unit is included with every replacement. You won’t need to arrange separate disposal.
