Your Scituate Home Runs Better with GEM

Scituate chose a different path than most of Rhode Island.

While the rest of the state developed, this town remained rural. The reservoir that flooded six villages now supplies drinking water to much of the state, and the families who live here rely on larger lots, well water, septic systems, and the independence that comes with country living. That independence has a trade off. When your well pump fails or your heating system needs service, you cannot always wait for someone to drive out from Providence.

GEM Plumbing and Heating Services, LLC maintains technicians throughout the region who respond the same day, even to Scituate’s more remote areas. When your family needs heating, cooling, plumbing, or electrical services in Scituate, trust ours. Call GEM today.

Richard F. was the first Gem employee I met. My original appointment was to have the air conditioner yearly service (central air). After opening the side panel Richard showed me the black mold and rust inside the unit. NO ONE had ever opened the side panel during a yearly service appointment. There were years of built up black mold. I will NEVER use the companies I have used in the past. Richard presented 2 options. He was not pushy. He simply presented the information to me and answered all of my questions. Richard is respectful both professionally and personally. We scheduled the appointment for the following day (removal of the old unit and condenser and installation of the new.
