Matthew Dionne
Joe and Nick were sent to look at a Mr. Cool unit of mine that wasn't kicking out cold air. They determined that the system had a leak somewhere and it would cost a substantial amount of money to fix mostly due to the cost of the coolant itself and leak detection alone. I gave 4 stars out of 5 because even though I chose not to move forward with the repair, it was still pretty costly for them to come out and basically tell me that the unit was junk without repair. Money aside, Joe and Nick were great. Very knowledgeable, very friendly, explained things very well and I could tell they knew what they were doing. I had every reason to believe they could have done the repair. So the 4 stars (probably even a 3 1/2) is not really a negative on the technicians, no problems with them at all. I think the company itself is a little pricey. But I guess that's the world we live in today. The inspection was a little more money than I had anticipated that's all.

We had a great experience with Alecs Reyes from GEM Plumbing & Heating. Alecs was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain everything with my new furnace and AC system. Him and his team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and made sure everything was running perfectly before they left.

It’s not always easy to find technicians who are both skilled and genuinely care about their customers, but Alecs and his team definitely delivered. I highly recommend Alecs and GEM Plumbing & Heating to anyone who needs HVAC service. Excellent work and great customer service!

Joseph and Dan were Knowledgeable and personable! They explained what was being done and went out of their way to complete the job in good time!! Well worth the money spent!

So we had a major plumbing disaster that we discovered this morning. Another plumber we tried did not have availability all week. We called Gem and they came out within a few hours. They got right to the issue and diagnosed it. They stopped the leak, so that was a huge relief! Then they referred us to another person from their company who would follow up and take a look at the equipment to see if we need repairs or replacing.
That person is coming this afternoon.On top of that, we had damage to our walls and they recommended a second company that they work in tandem with who is coming tomorrow morning.
All this networking saved us a lot of time and frustration looking for people to solve these issues! Jim and Dan, who came today, were incredibly efficient, very good at communicating and also very pleasant to deal with. Plumbing issues are not fun, but they managed to make it easy and smooth and I am so grateful!
Also, here’s a follow up: Ricky also came and gave me the quote for the boiler and installation. He not only installs these types of equipment, but he also knows how to explain how everything works to the client. He did an excellent job telling me what went wrong and how to troubleshoot it in a way I could understand! He was extremely conscientious and made sure I followed his explanation carefully. Next the plumbers came, and Jacob did an incredible job with his assistant Steve. They were very respectful of my property. They got things done in a timely fashion. I now have heat which was a major factor in this whole incident. Another valve had to be installed on a different floor and a plumber took care of that. Then they sent an Electrician when it came time to install the thermostat. All of these contractors worked in tandem. Lastly, the people who came to clean up the house and make repairs on the walls were also in the loop and referred to by Gem. they also were very respectful and did a really good job in a time saving manner. Before leaving, the plumbers made sure that the new valve which was put in nor the old radiator were not causing any leaks so this wouldn’t happen again in the future So am through the worst with my new boiler working this morning. I feel confident that my old house is in good hands now. Thank you Gem and Cleanworks!

How to Know When You Need a New Furnace Installed

A furnace doesn’t last forever, and knowing when it’s time to replace it can save you from sudden breakdowns or rising energy costs. Here are some of the factors our team considers when helping homeowners decide if they need a new furnace:

Most furnaces last around 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. If yours is reaching that age, it’s a good time to start exploring replacement options before it fails during a cold Providence winter.

If your energy bills keep climbing even though your heating habits haven’t changed, your furnace may be losing efficiency. Older systems must work harder to produce the same amount of heat, wasting energy and driving up costs. A modern, high-efficiency furnace can significantly reduce those monthly expenses.

A furnace that breaks down frequently or needs ongoing service visits is usually on its last legs. Instead of continuing to pay for patchwork fixes, invest in a new system for more reliable comfort and long-term savings.

If some rooms are cozy while others are chilly, your furnace may no longer be distributing heat effectively. This can happen when the system’s blower motor weakens or internal components wear out, which are signs that replacement could be the smarter choice. When you need furnace installation in Providence, GEM is here to help.

We Install All Types of Furnaces in Providence

Every home is different, and so are its heating needs. At GEM, we install a full range of furnace types to suit your home’s layout, energy source, and efficiency goals.

Our licensed HVAC technicians will help you choose the best system for your space, budget, and long-term comfort. Here’s a look at the types of furnaces we install in Providence:

Gas furnaces are one of the most common and efficient heating options in Providence and across New England. They use natural gas to produce steady, reliable heat, making them a cost-effective choice for most homeowners. With modern high-efficiency models, you can enjoy powerful performance and lower energy bills on even the coldest winter nights.

Oil furnaces are a dependable solution for homes that don’t have access to natural gas service. Known for producing strong, consistent heat, oil systems are ideal for older properties or rural areas throughout Rhode Island. GEM’s team installs and maintains oil furnaces built for today’s higher efficiency standards, giving you comfort without excessive fuel use.

Electric furnaces are clean, quiet, and easy to maintain, making them a great option for smaller homes or households looking to avoid fossil fuels. These systems convert electrical energy directly into heat and can pair well with renewable energy sources. GEM’s experts can help you select an electric furnace that provides reliable warmth and complements your home’s overall energy strategy.

Solar-assisted furnaces are an eco-friendly way to reduce energy costs and your home’s carbon footprint. These systems use solar panels to capture and store energy, which supplements your furnace’s power supply. GEM’s technicians can help design and install a solar-supported heating solution that keeps your home comfortable while maximizing efficiency.

Don’t see your preferred type of furnace listed here? GEM also installs horizontal, upflow, and downflow furnaces to suit your Providence home’s specific needs.

  • Horizontal Furnaces: For smaller spaces, horizontal furnaces are installed on their side, perfect for attics, crawl spaces, or tight basements.
  • Downflow Furnaces: Suitable for attics or other high placements, downflow models pull in air from above, distributing it downwards.
  • Horizontal Furnaces: For smaller spaces, horizontal furnaces are installed on their side, perfect for attics, crawl spaces, or tight basements.

Furnace Installation FAQs

How long does a furnace installation take?

Most standard furnace installations can be completed in a single day, typically within 4 to 8 hours. More complex setups like adding ductwork, relocating equipment, or upgrading electrical connections may take a little longer.

When is the best time of year to replace a furnace?

Early fall or late spring are ideal times to schedule installation, since technicians are more available and you can avoid peak winter demand. However, if your furnace breaks down during the cold months, the professional installers at GEM can replace it quickly to restore heat.

How do I know what size furnace my home needs?

Furnace size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, number of windows, and overall energy efficiency. A professional HVAC technician can perform a heat load calculation to determine the correct capacity and ensure your system heats efficiently without wasting energy.

What’s the average lifespan of a furnace?

Most furnaces last 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance. If your system is nearing that age and experiencing frequent repairs or uneven heating, replacement may be more cost-effective than continuing to repair it.

Should I repair or replace my furnace?

If the cost of repairs is approaching 50% of the price of a new furnace, or if your system is older and inefficient, replacement is usually the smarter long-term option. New models are more energy-efficient and come with updated safety features.
