Very fast install of 7-zone mini split system and required panel upgrade. From first call to work completion was less than a week. No quality issues of install and the workers were great. Overall GEM is very expensive, but quality and speed are fantastic.
Just completed AC tune up with Nick R. Courteous and knowledgeable service. Thorough and friendly. Arrived on time and explained his intent. Highly recommend!
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.

The following day Richie and John arrived at 7:45AM. Leo then arrived. They worked from the time they arrived (7:45AM-5:00PM) until they completed the job. They are respectful both professionally and personally. They thoroughly explained all the work they did and gave me information that I did not know previously. Again, we get the a/c serviced yearly and no one had ever explained anything. They cleaned up after completing the work. I mean immaculately.
He came over on Easter Sunday and helped us with a big problem that could not wait. He explained everything in detail. He stayed until the problem was resolved. Really nice guy.
Tech was efficient, skilled, client focused and really nice

How to Know When You Need a New Water Heater Installed

Your water heater is trying to tell you something important.

Here’s how to tell if your water heater is failing. GEM provides Tiverton with honest assessments and quality installations.

Water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years. Once yours approaches that range, performance declines and the chance of failure goes up. Replacing proactively means you choose when it happens.

Moisture around your water heater often signals a slow leak or tank corrosion. These issues only get worse over time. New water heater installation in Tiverton stops a small problem from becoming a flooded utility room.

If hot water temperatures vary unpredictably or the supply runs out faster than it used to, your water heater is losing capacity. Aging components and sediment buildup reduce performance over time.

An inefficient water heater uses more energy to produce the same amount of hot water. If your bills have crept up but usage hasn’t changed, your water heater may be the culprit. A new, efficient model brings those costs back down.

Water Heater Installation FAQs

Should I get a gas or electric water heater for my Tiverton 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 Tiverton home’s infrastructure and helps you choose the option that makes practical and financial sense.

What size water heater do I need for my Tiverton 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 Tiverton 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’s the difference between gas and electric water heaters?

Gas water heaters typically heat water faster and cost less to operate if you have natural gas service. Electric models are simpler to install and maintain, and don’t require venting. Heat pump electric models are highly efficient but need adequate space around them. For Tiverton’s antique homes, farms, and waterfront properties, the best choice depends on your existing utilities and installation location. GEM can advise which makes sense for your specific situation.

I’m not sure what size tank my family needs. How do you figure that out?

GEM’s technicians assess your household’s hot water demands during the consultation. We ask about family size, bathing habits, whether you run the dishwasher and washing machine simultaneously, and what your busiest times are. For Tiverton’s antique homes, farms, and waterfront properties, we often recommend 40 to 50 gallon tanks for families of three to four, but we customize recommendations based on your actual usage patterns rather than applying a one-size-fits-all formula.

Are high-efficiency water heaters worth the extra cost?

For most Tiverton homeowners, yes. High-efficiency models cost more upfront but reduce monthly energy bills, often paying for themselves within a few years. Heat pump water heaters in particular can cut water heating costs by 50% or more compared to standard electric tanks. Combined with Rhode Island Energy rebates, the net cost difference shrinks significantly while the savings continue for the life of the equipment.
