What Our Customers Are Saying
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
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 PVC—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.
Nate’s customer service skills were out of this world. I advise GEM Plumbing to invest in this young man.
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.

It was super easy booking online The next day the dispatcher, (unfortunately I don’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
Some problems are easy fixes; others mean it’s time for new equipment.
Watch for these issues in your Richmond water heater. When they appear, GEM can help you decide what to do next.
Water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years. Once yours approaches that range, performance declines and the chance of failure goes up. Replacing proactively means you choose when it happens.
Moisture around your water heater often signals a slow leak or tank corrosion. These issues only get worse over time. New water heater installation in Richmond stops a small problem from becoming a flooded utility room.
If hot water temperatures vary unpredictably or the supply runs out faster than it used to, your water heater is losing capacity. Aging components and sediment buildup reduce performance over time.
An inefficient water heater uses more energy to produce the same amount of hot water. If your bills have crept up but usage hasn’t changed, your water heater may be the culprit. A new, efficient model brings those costs back down.

We Install All Types of Water Heaters in Richmond
GEM offers options to fit different needs and priorities.
Here’s what we install:
Tankless models heat water on demand instead of storing it. You get endless hot water without the energy loss of keeping a tank warm. They save space too. GEM installs tankless water heaters in Richmond for homeowners who want efficiency and unlimited supply.
Tank systems keep a reserve of heated water ready at all times. They’re reliable, affordable, and come in sizes to match your household. Most Richmond families find tank heaters meet their daily needs well.
Hybrids pull heat from the air to warm water, using far less energy than conventional heaters. They have a tank for storage so hot water is always available. Richmond homeowners focused on reducing energy costs often choose hybrid models.

Water Heater Installation FAQs
Can GEM handle water heater emergencies in Richmond?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Richmond and the Washington County area. If your water heater fails unexpectedly, leaks, or poses a safety concern, call us immediately. Our technicians can respond quickly to assess the situation and get your hot water restored as soon as possible.
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 Richmond 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.
Will you haul away my existing water heater?
Absolutely. Removal and disposal are standard parts of our service for Richmond customers. We disconnect your old water heater, carefully remove it from your home to avoid damage to floors or walls, and take it for proper disposal. Your installation price includes everything from removal to cleanup.
When does it make more sense to replace my water heater instead of repairing it?
Three situations typically point toward replacement: age over 10 years, a leaking tank, or repair costs exceeding half the price of new equipment. In Richmond’s farmhouses, colonials, and wooded properties, we often see water heaters that have been patched multiple times but keep developing new problems. At that point, you’re throwing money at a system that’s fundamentally failing. GEM can help you weigh the costs and make the decision that’s right for your situation.
Do I need a permit for water heater installation?
In most cases, yes. Water heater installation typically requires a permit to ensure the work meets local codes. GEM handles permitting as part of our standard service for Richmond customers. We pull the necessary permits and schedule inspections so you don’t have to navigate that process yourself.
