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
David is very good to work with. Takes his time and is thorough.
They did a great job with my water heater installation. Congrats guys
If you need service done in Rhode Island and you’re calling GEM, ask for Rick or David! They were absolutely amazing—professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely kind. They took the time to explain everything, worked efficiently, and had our central air system fixed quickly.

GEM also impressed us with how fast they were able to send technicians out, making the whole process stress-free. Customer service like this is hard to find these days, and Rick and David truly went above and beyond. We need more home service technicians like them!

Thank you, GEM, for such outstanding service. Highly recommend!
The service was great. Edge the sales rep was amazing as well. He walked us through every step and there were no hidden fees or costs.
Cristian was excellent in facilitating the difficult installation of our heat pump as well as deciphering the instructions for an unusual hot water controller he had never seen before. Everything was expertly and expeditiously accomplished on the same afternoon.
Very professional plumber and very amenable to my requests. Not issues at all, but pricey to me.


How to Know When You Need a New Water Heater Installed

A water heater at the end of its life shows clear symptoms.

Our experience serving Somerset helps us recognize water heaters that are nearing the end. Here’s what we look for.

Water heaters have a limited service life. Once yours enters the 10 to 12 year range, efficiency drops and the risk of sudden failure climbs. Replacing before breakdown lets you plan the upgrade on your schedule.

Water pooling around the base of your water heater indicates internal failure. Once a tank starts leaking, it cannot be repaired. Replacing it quickly prevents water damage to your home.

When hot water swings between too hot and lukewarm without pattern, your water heater is struggling. Failing thermostats, sediment buildup, or aging heating elements can all cause this. If basic service doesn’t solve it, water heater replacement in Somerset is the answer.

A single repair on a younger system makes sense. But if you’ve called for service multiple times in the past year or two, those costs are adding up. At some point, water heater replacement in Somerset becomes the better investment.

Tank water heater installation in Somerset is the tried-and-true choice for most households. These units store 40-80 gallons of heated water, ready whenever you need it. Tank models work with gas or electric power, install affordably, and deliver dependable performance for families running showers, laundry, and dishes throughout the day.

These compact units heat water on demand as it passes through, so you never run out mid-shower. Tankless systems mount on walls, freeing up floor space in tight basements or utility closets. GEM installs tankless water heaters in Somerset homes looking for efficiency and long-term value.

Water Heater Installation FAQs

What affects the cost of water heater installation?

Several factors determine your total cost: the type and size of water heater, whether your Somerset home needs any modifications for installation (like updated venting, electrical upgrades, or new supply lines), and accessibility of the installation location. GEM provides detailed quotes before starting work so you understand exactly what you’re paying for with no surprises.

What size water heater do I need for my Somerset home?

The right size depends on your household’s actual hot water usage, not just your home’s square footage. A family of four in Somerset typically needs a 40 to 50 gallon tank, while a couple might be fine with 30 gallons. GEM’s technicians consider peak usage times, like when everyone’s getting ready in the morning, and recommend a size that meets your demand without wasting energy heating water you won’t use. We’ll size your system based on how your family actually lives.

What happens to my old water heater when you install the new one?

We take it with us. GEM handles complete removal and disposal as part of every water heater installation in Somerset. Our technicians disconnect the old unit, drain any remaining water, remove it from your home, and ensure proper disposal. You don’t need to worry about getting rid of a heavy, bulky appliance yourself.

What are the pros and cons of tankless water heaters?

Tankless units provide unlimited hot water on demand and typically last longer than tank heaters, often 20 years with proper maintenance. They’re compact and efficient. The downsides: higher upfront cost, potentially expensive installation if your home needs electrical upgrades or gas line modifications, and flow rate limitations that may not suit large households using multiple fixtures simultaneously. GEM can help Somerset homeowners decide if tankless is the right fit.

Can GEM handle water heater emergencies in Somerset?

Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Somerset and the South Coast 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.
