I cannot say enough good things about this company! From getting the initial walk through done, to designing the ductwork, and executing their plan, every step has been amazing.

The GEM plumbers were fantastic. They hooked up a new spigot and a back flow preventer for the drip irrigation system I will have installed soon. They explained everything, they were fast and respected my home during the job. I highly recommend GEM for your next plumbing repair or upgrade.
Today Nicole from GEM extended the pipe and added a female adapter for the irrigation system. She was speedy and fantastic!
Anthony Capuano
Josh was very pleasant, helpful and efficient. He worked on adding a valve to our boiler. Not sure how to answer other questions.
Sara Johnson
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.

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.
James
Very nice technicians polite and did a great job tune up on my generator thank you
Pat T
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.
Beth McKechnie

Water Heater Replacement FAQs

What water heater options work best for Newport’s historic homes?

Many Newport homes feature older construction with limited mechanical space. Tankless water heaters are ideal for tight installations since they mount on walls and eliminate the need for a large storage tank. For homes with adequate space, traditional tank models remain a reliable and cost-effective choice. GEM’s plumbers assess your specific situation and recommend the best fit.

How does coastal living affect water heater lifespan?

Salt air and humidity common to Newport can accelerate corrosion on water heater components. Regular maintenance, including anode rod inspections and tank flushing, helps extend system life. GEM technicians understand these coastal conditions and can advise on protective measures specific to waterfront and near-shore properties.

Does GEM offer same-day water heater replacement in Newport?

Yes. GEM understands that losing hot water disrupts your entire household. Our team size and stocked trucks allow us to provide same-day replacement service across Newport whenever possible. Call us when you notice a problem, and we’ll work to restore your hot water quickly.

What rebates are available for Newport homeowners?

Rhode Island Energy offers rebates on qualifying high-efficiency water heaters, including heat pump models. GEM helps Newport homeowners identify which systems qualify and assists with rebate paperwork to maximize your savings.
