Everyone at Gem was professional, courteous and affable. I highly recommend them.
Eric Governor from GEM came to my house today. I was very overwhelmed with the electrical issues I was having and he took his time explaining everything to me and what my options were. He didn’t leave until I understood what was needed. They were very nice and made me feel comfortable.
Help with well for irrigation system.
Cory was great. Fixed my problem in no time.
Was able to receive last minute, same day service from Abe and Logan. They were prompt, courteous and saved us a boat load of money. They found our tub leak easily and took care of it immediately allowing us to choose the repair option that was in our budget. Thanks very much!
Every person I dealt with at GEM was very professional and very pleasant. No long wait for the house call or the installation.They installed my three mini-splits and condenser in under 7 hours and cleaned up after themselves. The entire team of four men knew exactly what they needed to do. I would highly recommend them.
Excellent Service
I had my A/C go down on a 90° Friday. GEM sent David Salvatore to my house same day, and he was back first thing Monday morning with the parts to repair. He was an honest gentleman and a clean worker. He even found me a first time customer coupon to save me a few dollars. Are they priced a bit higher than some other companies? Yes, they are. But my existing company, Mutual Engineering, wasn’t even going to come for a diagnosis for a week! This is a perfect example of you get what you pay for. In addition to this condenser repair, David showed me maintenance that I should have been doing on a separate mini-split system installed by my now previous company. Mutual Engineering never informed me of this requirement. Bottom line is when it’s extreme heat or cold and your HVAC goes down, you want service quickly. I got that, and it was worth every penny.
Outstanding service Brian … Thank you so much for fixing my electrical problems with such accuracy and professionalism!!
Great professionals
Bill & Anthony did a thorough job on my HVAC system maintenance call. Pleasant, friendly, & knowledgeable. Thank you both!
We discovered a leak under our kitchen sink and as luck would have it, we had company coming to our house the following day. A neighbor gave me the name and phone number to GEM Plumbing. They came to our rescue and their guys were here the following morning, right at the promised time. We were very happy with their two guys and all was fixed within a few hours. Thank you so much!!!!!!
Service was outstanding done in a timely fashion clean neat and professional a little expensive
Steven was great to work with and explained the issue we were having very well.
Edward was great. My mother was having a drainage issue. Other companies have come in and charged her money and not fixed the problem. Edward got down to the root of the problem and fixed it for us. Response time is quick. I booked the appt on Tuesday evening they were there Wednesday morning. In the past my husband and I have used GEM for an emergency where we called at 7am and they were there by 9 same day. Obviously those things cost money, but it is very reasonable for what you are getting. I would absolutely recommend GEM to family and friends.
Excellent service, soup to nuts 24/7!
Service tech was exceptional Joe Oxford
Very quick service! Answered the call had someone come same day for a quote next day they were able to install! Impeccable service
I had a water leak in the AC unit and while they were here also found out that the capacitor was old and needed to be changed to get to right cooling temperature.
A little pricy , l paid $750 for a new capacitor and removal of some debris in the water collector in Ac unit.

But it still great , since they showed up as same day appointment and fixed everything.
Nicholas was very professional and did the job quickly.
The service was great!! The technicians were very nice, professional and polite. They explained everything and did their best to help us. Thank you!
The technician John Pete was
Very thorough and professional. He identified a problem unrelated to the service call and took care of it.
Nick is really excellent at explaining the issue with my system
and articulated solutions perfectly. Excellent work!
My toilet stopped working this morning. I called Gem Plumbing at around 12:30pm and with an hour or so Nicole Tradd Technician was at my door. She did a fabulous job removing and replacing my toilet. She was very pleasant and friendly from start to finish! Great customer service all around!
David came out and assessed the problem and resolved it quickly! Love my experience with GEM! Awesome work and great service!
Everyone was a pleasure to work with


How to Know When You Need a New Water Heater Installed

Here’s what a dying water heater looks like.

Scituate homeowners should be aware of these symptoms. GEM provides straightforward advice about repair vs. replacement.

Most water heaters last 8 to 12 years. If yours is approaching or past the 10-year mark, efficiency has likely dropped and the risk of failure increases. Replacing now avoids unexpected breakdowns and the inconvenience that comes with them.

Discolored hot water or visible rust on the tank exterior signals corrosion inside. While sometimes caused by aging pipes, rust in hot water that clears up after running usually points to the water heater itself. This problem only gets worse.

If your water heater used to recover quickly between uses but now takes hours, age and sediment are catching up. When flushing no longer helps, the system is losing capacity. Replacement restores reliable hot water.

For gas water heaters, a pilot light that keeps going out indicates a failing thermocouple or other component. While sometimes repairable, recurring pilot problems in older units often point toward replacement being the better investment.

Water Heater Installation FAQs

When should I start thinking about replacing my water heater?

Once your water heater approaches 10 years old, it’s wise to start planning for replacement even if it’s still working. That way you can research options, budget accordingly, and replace on your schedule rather than in an emergency. Many Scituate homeowners find that proactive replacement avoids the inconvenience and potential water damage of an unexpected failure.

Can GEM handle water heater emergencies in Scituate?

Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Scituate and the Providence 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.

What maintenance does a water heater need?

Regular maintenance includes annual flushing to remove sediment, periodic anode rod inspection, and checking the pressure relief valve. These simple tasks extend equipment life and maintain efficiency. Many Scituate homeowners find it easier to have GEM handle maintenance through our Home Comfort Club, which includes scheduled service visits and priority scheduling if problems arise.

How much can I save with an efficient water heater?

That depends on your current equipment and usage, but the savings can be substantial. Upgrading from an older standard tank to a high-efficiency model typically reduces water heating costs by 10 to 20%. Switching to a heat pump water heater can cut costs in half. For a Scituate household spending $50 a month on water heating, that’s real money over the 10 to 15 year life of the equipment.

Should I get a gas or electric water heater for my Scituate home?

That often depends on what’s already in your home. If you have natural gas service and existing gas lines to your water heater location, a gas unit typically offers faster recovery times and lower operating costs. If you’re electric-only, an electric water heater or heat pump model avoids the expense of running new gas lines. GEM evaluates your Scituate home’s infrastructure and helps you choose the option that makes practical and financial sense.
