Here’s Why You Should Replace Your Water Heater

You already know your water heater needs to go. Here’s what you gain by moving forward.

Your old unit has been wasting energy. New water heaters use less fuel or electricity to heat the same amount of water, which means lower utility bills starting right away.

No more wondering if today is the day it finally quits. A new system provides steady, reliable hot water whenever your household needs it.

You’ve probably spent money trying to keep the old one running. A new water heater eliminates those recurring repair costs.

A modern, efficient water heater improves your home’s value. Buyers appreciate systems that won’t need replacement anytime soon.

Don’t Trust Your Home & Family to Just Anyone.

Michael from Gem Plumbing was here today to do an annual check on our central air conditioning system and mini-split system. He did a thorough check of all the components inside and outside the home. He is very knowledgeable and explained everything very clearly as to what he found and observed on our systems. This service was covered under our maintenance plan with Gem so there was no charge for today. Michael is a really friendly and personable guy and he did a great job at our home.

We had one condenser stop. They came, found an electric problem, sent the electricians in their group, ordered the required electrical panel and we are back up and running.
These people REALLY know what they are doing!!

Gem has always been my lifesaver and yesterday they came through again. When GEM came yesterday for the annual boiler cleaning they discovered that my boiler was leaking carbon monoxide gas. It had not been leaking the year before so carbon monoxide leaking from your burner. It’s like a tire that’s going flat in the air is coming out. It only gets worse. They gave me an estimate on replacing it, I did some research and they said that they couldn’t install it the next day. The price was in line with everything I had researched and the Bernar rated very high on Trustpilot as did the warranty. Having worked with GEM before, I trust them and I made the deal. Today two men arrived two more came then the Electrician.They got the old burner out they got the new burner installed. They cleaned up the basement and I now have heat and no carbon monoxide.Thanks for being there again GEM.

Water Heater Replacement FAQs

How quickly can GEM install my new water heater?

Most replacements are completed in two to four hours. Since you already know you need a new unit, we can often schedule same-day installation. Tankless systems may require additional time if gas line or venting modifications are needed.

Should I choose a tank or tankless water heater?

It depends on your household’s usage, available space, and budget. Tank water heaters cost less upfront and work well for most homes. Tankless models cost more initially but provide endless hot water and last longer. GEM’s plumbers can help you decide what makes sense for your Worcester home.

What rebates are available through Mass Save?

Mass Save offers rebates on qualifying high-efficiency water heaters, including heat pump models. GEM helps Worcester homeowners identify which models qualify and assists with the rebate paperwork.

Does GEM handle removal of my old water heater?

Yes. We disconnect and remove your old unit as part of every replacement. You don’t have to worry about disposal.
