I know we had snafus getting you guys over here but Aaron showed up today and found out what the problem was corrected it and he also went above and below at the exact right time when I was asking him a question he came down on the ground and grabbed a bolt and helped put up the differential cover that I was working on By starting a couple of bolts! Also, I would like to thank Morgan in the call center for not only getting somebody here today but a supervisor, nice job, thanks again.
Christopher, was great he came to do what he had to do. He got a job done. And I'm very pleased with her, thank you, Chris.
I have used Gem in the past for both plumbing and electrical issues. This time it was a blocked kitchen drain. Turns out it was more than a blocked drain in the PVC under the sink. Nicholas snaked the entire line (down to the basement) to clear out grease and "gunk" that has been literally decades in the making. Because of how this job was handled and because of how the tech talked to me, I am contracting to replace the VERY old 1950's era cast iron pipes in my home.

UPDATE: Work was quickly scheduled. Nicholas arrived today and completed the work. It was a big job. Excellent work.
Chris and Anthony were polite considerate and professional in knowing their jobs and sharing important information concerning our unit.
I really appreciate the honest and integrity in handling our issues. Made us feel confident in our decision making. Very professional but yet personable.

Got a problem with your well pump not working? Not a problem! Call Gem plumbing & heating services. Our 100’ deep well finally lived out its life and stopped working. Not a pleasant experience when suddenly you have to get water somewhere and start filling up buckets. I called on Saturday and they came by within a few hours. They checked the pressure tank first then the well. They came back Monday and installed the new pump. I couldn’t have asked for better service! They were there when I needed them!


How to Know When You Need a New Water Heater Installed

Know the difference between a minor issue and a major problem.

These warning signs shouldn’t be ignored. GEM helps West Greenwich residents understand when replacement makes sense.

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 West Greenwich 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 West Greenwich becomes the better investment.

Water Heater Installation FAQs

Are high-efficiency water heaters worth the extra cost?

For most West Greenwich 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.

Can GEM handle water heater emergencies in West Greenwich?

Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout West Greenwich and the Kent 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.

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

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 West Greenwich 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.

What rebates are available for water heater installation in West Greenwich?

Rhode Island Energy offers rebates on qualifying high-efficiency water heaters, including heat pump models that can significantly reduce energy costs. The rebate amounts vary by equipment type, and eligibility requirements change periodically. GEM stays current on available incentives and helps West Greenwich homeowners identify which models qualify. We can also assist with the paperwork to make sure you capture available savings.
