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
Don’t miss these warning signs of water heater failure.
Watch for these warning signs. GEM helps Somerville homeowners make informed decisions about their water heaters.
Most water heaters last 8 to 12 years with proper care. If yours is in that age range or older, efficiency has dropped and failure could come any time. Replacing now gives you control over the timing.
Rust or corrosion visible on the outside of your water heater usually means worse conditions inside. Once corrosion sets in, tank failure is a matter of time. Replacing before a leak occurs prevents water damage.
If showers are getting cut short or you’re running out of hot water during normal use, your tank may be losing capacity. Sediment buildup and aging components reduce how much hot water the system can deliver.
Metallic or sulfur odors coming from your hot water indicate problems inside the tank. Bacteria growth or a failing anode rod are common causes. In older systems, these issues often mean replacement is the better path forward.

We Install All Types of Water Heaters in Somerville
Choosing the right water heater means matching capacity to your household’s needs. GEM guides you to the best solution.
Here’s a look at the types of water heaters we install in Somerville:
Tank water heater installation in Somerville 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.
Tankless water heater installation in Somerville appeals to homeowners who want endless hot water and energy savings. 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 Somerville 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. We’ll help you weigh upfront costs against long-term savings to find the smartest choice for your Somerville home.

Water Heater Installation FAQs
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 Somerville’s triple-deckers, row houses, and condos, 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.
Does Mass Save 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 Somerville 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.
How do I maintain my new water heater?
Annual flushing to remove sediment buildup extends water heater life and maintains efficiency. The anode rod should be checked every few years and replaced when depleted since it protects the tank from corrosion. GEM’s Home Comfort Club includes maintenance visits that handle these tasks. For Somerville homes with hard water, more frequent flushing may be beneficial.
How does GEM determine what capacity water heater my household needs?
We look at several factors specific to your Somerville home: how many people live there, number of bathrooms, whether you have high-flow showerheads or standard fixtures, and when your peak usage occurs. A household where everyone showers in the morning has different needs than one where usage is spread throughout the day. We also consider your existing infrastructure since upgrading from a 40-gallon to an 80-gallon tank may require electrical or venting modifications.
Will you haul away my existing water heater?
Absolutely. Removal and disposal are standard parts of our service for Somerville 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.
