Called GEM this morning when I discovered that our water heater decided to stop working some time in the night. Ari in the office was extremely nice and was able to schedule a technician to come out same day. John was great, super helpful, and knowledgeable. He explained the system we have and what was going on. He was great with answering my questions and I really appreciated his taking the time to go over the various components of the water heater as well as answering my questions about their membership maintenance program. I look forward to working with GEM moving forward.
Professional installers from start to finish.
Douglas V. was prompt, provided great service and quality work. Douglas is professional and knowledgeable in his field. Highly recommend for HVAC repairs and maintenance needs.
Very nice technicians polite and did a great job tune up on my generator thank you
Aaron came for a 2nd successful visit. This time to figure out the cause of low/no water pressure in some of our H&C setups for 5 bathroom sinks. He left with 3 sinks H&C flowing freely & demonstrated the need for 2 new faucet installations so Hot H2O could be restored to the remaining sinks. Much appreciated as others had immediately started talking about replacing pipes without investigating less complicated solutions. As before, Aaron was a professional pleasure to have in our home & pricing will be the only holdup for us to continue with the faucet installations. Due to him, I have high hopes for the GEM electrician arriving next week & the HVAC maintenance later this month.
Courteous friendly service people, give complete information about work needed.
Those guys were awesome. They were very respectful and professional.

Great team came to fix our leaking pipe. Truly professional. Did what needed to be done and were extremely well versed in codes and fixing mistakes of the past.


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.
