Joan Martinez came to my house on an emergency call when my furnace/boiler broke down at 1 am. He diagnosed the issues and unfortunately I needed a new system. GEM installed the new system over the next two days. Everyone on the crew was excellent. I signed up for GEMโ€™s maintenance program because if I had previously it would have prolonged the life of my furnace/boiler. Today Joan Martinez returned to do routine maintenance on my mini splits. He was very thorough and made sure the units are ready for the summer season. I highly recommend and trust Joan Martinez for any job.

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.

We Install All Types of Water Heaters in Somerset

Every home has different hot water demands. GEM helps you choose the right water heater based on your household size, space, and budget.

Here’s a look at the types of water heaters we install in Somerset:

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. For consistent hot water without surprises, a properly sized tank water heater gets the job done.

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.

Whether tank or tankless, today’s high-efficiency water heaters cut energy use without sacrificing performance. GEM installs ENERGY STAR certified models that qualify for rebates and lower your monthly utility bills.

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.
