Nate came out first thing in the morning to help with my clogged sewer main. He was very professional and kind. He explained everything with no difficulty and offered multiple cost-tiered options. Mainly whether we would utilize a camera in the process of snaking the main. I appreciated being offered the option. We went with the camera process. So we could fully diagnose the issue, and determine if this would be a recurring problem.
We found roots growing in an old, 2-foot, cast-iron section of my main drainage pipe.
He used a blade attachment and cleared the obstruction to the best of his ability. Then left me with a quote to have the 2-foot section of cast iron replaced with PVCโ€”which is only a small section that penetrated the foundation of my home.
I was very happy with the service, and most importantly the transparent approach which allowed me to make informed decisions.
Nateโ€™s customer service skills were out of this world. I advise GEM Plumbing to invest in this young man.

Incredible company.
I had two whole house central AC units replaced (19 yrs old) and their team and other parts of the company (Plumbling, electrical, etc.) worked together to do an unbelieable installation in very hot conditions. My hats off to your company and we are so impressed that I contracted GEM to install a whole house 25kw generator.

I was able to schedule an appointment for the next day. The technician was great. Chris went over everything that needed to be done and explained it clearly. Very professional. He was also able to offer a discount and waived the fee for the service call. When I reviewed the bill that night, there was an error and the fee hadnโ€™t been waived. When I called Gem the next day, they saw the error and immediately corrected it. Said the refund would be put on my credit card. Very happy with the service.

I am very happy with my well water pump service. David Chapman and his associate were professional, friendly and respectful. David showed me how to change my filter for which I am truly grateful.
It was super easy booking online The next day the dispatcher, (unfortunately I donโ€™t know her name) called to offer an earlier appointment. She was very polite and kind.
My whole transaction was smooth and pleasant from start to finish!


How to Know When You Need a New Water Heater Installed

Here’s how to know if a new water heater is in your future.

Our technicians can help Newport homeowners interpret these signs. Often, they indicate replacement is the smarter choice.

Water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years before needing replacement. If yours is at the older end of this range or beyond it, the system is likely losing efficiency and could fail at any time. Replacing it now helps you avoid unexpected breakdowns.

Water pooling near your water heater means the tank is corroding from inside. Once leaking starts, it cannot be fixed. New water heater installation in Newport should happen quickly to prevent damage to your home.

When your water heater takes longer to heat water or never reaches the temperature you set, internal components are failing. Sediment and worn parts reduce heating capacity. Replacement restores proper performance.

Loud sounds from your water heater indicate sediment has hardened at the tank bottom. This buildup reduces efficiency and stresses the system. If flushing doesn’t eliminate the noise, water heater replacement in Newport is the next step.

We Install All Types of Water Heaters in Newport

GEM offers options to match your household’s needs and your priorities.

Here’s what we install for Newport homes:

Tankless models heat water on demand instead of storing it. That means endless hot water and no energy wasted keeping a tank warm. They’re compact too, which matters in Newport where utility space can be limited. GEM installs tankless water heaters in Newport for homeowners who value efficiency and convenience.

Tank systems keep a supply of heated water ready at all times. They’re reliable, straightforward, and cost less upfront than other options. Most Newport households find that a quality tank water heater handles their daily needs without issue.

Hybrid units use heat pump technology to pull warmth from the air, dramatically reducing energy consumption. They have a tank for storage so hot water is always available. For Newport homeowners focused on efficiency and lower bills, hybrids are worth considering.

Water Heater Installation FAQs

How much does water heater installation cost in Newport?

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.

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 Newport 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.

What if my water heater fails on a weekend or holiday?

GEM offers emergency service 7 days a week. Water heater failures don’t wait for convenient times, and neither do we. If your Newport home loses hot water on a Saturday night or holiday morning, call us. We’ll respond to restore your comfort.

Can I get rebates on a new water heater?

Yes, if you choose qualifying high-efficiency equipment. Rhode Island Energy provides rebates for Newport residents who install certain models, particularly heat pump water heaters. These rebates can offset a significant portion of the equipment cost. GEM knows which models qualify and can help you apply for the rebates you’re entitled to.

How do I maintain my new water heater?

Annual flushing to remove sediment buildup extends water heater life and maintains efficiency. The anode rod should be checked every few years and replaced when depleted since it protects the tank from corrosion. GEM’s Home Comfort Club includes maintenance visits that handle these tasks. For Newport homes with hard water, more frequent flushing may be beneficial.
