We recently had our hot water heater replaced after our previous heater failed and flooded our basement. We couldn't be happier with the entire experience! From start to finish, the process was smooth, efficient, and professional. Manny and his team arrived right on time, carefully removed the old unit, and installed the new heater with expert precision. Manny had made our job a priority. The new hot water heater works flawlessly, providing consistent, hot water with impressive energy efficiency. Manny was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain how to maintain the system and the automatic water shutoff. Overall, this replacement has brought us peace of mind knowing we have a reliable source of hot water for our home. We highly recommend this service to anyone in need of a quality water heater upgrade! Akian had also replaced our gas furnace at the end of 2024 and had the same excellent service.

Matt B. is exceptional and has an encyclopedic knowledge of boiler systems. He can answer questions about every permutation of considerations in the lead up to purchasing an efficient, safe new boiler. We were pleasantly surprised by his fluency and responsiveness when we peppered him with over an hour of questions and the company’s patience with us in considering a major purchase. I would highly recommend Matt and Akian Plumbing.

I rarely leave google reviews. However, I felt like my experience with Aikian was so positive that I wanted to share. I appreciated the professional communication - very streamlined and attentive, the workmanship was excellent. They did exactly what they said they would do. The cost DIDN'T change, after the contract/quote. They were respectful in the home - kept things clean, used lots of drop clothes/shoe protection. There was an aspect of professionalism, promptness, and communication that I so very much appreciated. Would highly recommend. Would use again.

Absolutely horrible. Repeatedly reschedules due to their own errors and takes multiple trips to fix an issue to drive up their hours. Customer service is terrible and unresponsive after 4:30 and they offer no weekend support. We have been without hot water for over two weeks because of the company but charged over $1000+.

I called to ask for a general price range for replacing a P-trap. They told me they would not provide any pricing information unless they first sent a master plumber out for a $120 service call. I even asked what the *lowest* possible cost for a basic P-trap replacement would be, just so I could have some idea of what to expect, and they still refused to answer. That made me uncomfortable. I understand that an exact quote may require seeing the job in person, but refusing to provide even a starting price or rough range felt unnecessarily vague. I didn't feel comfortable paying $120 upfront without having any idea what I might ultimately be charged, so I decided not to move forward with them.

Sean and Andrew were great. I came home from work one day to discover water damage to my bathroom ceiling. Sean came out quickly to assess the situation. He was able to get someone out to remediate right away. Once the cleanup was complete, Andrew came out to do some further investigate and was able to successfully identify the water source in my very old condo building in Brighton. Both were very friendly and professional. Highly recommended!

So wanted to give an update to a 2 star review i left for Akian for work done about a month ago. I had two gripes: Call center customer service and dispatch and high pricing. I have to give their management credit: They saw my review, reached out and yesterday service manage Jeff called me. It's rare these days for someone to really listen to how things looked on my side of the road and to Jeff's credit he did that. Not only that we reached and agreement regarding what i felt was high pricing two two of the three components they replaced on my AC system. In addition he mentioned that they are moving away from the foreign call center customer service--this is a good thing. Who wants to feel if they get disconnected they can't call the person back? All this reassured me that despite some issues they are getting themselves on track and that they cared enough to make things right for me.

Carlos came today to troubleshoot my central AC. which stopped working yesterday. He was very upfront saying that he was unfamiliar with my particular set up. However, with assistance from his office, he was able to diagnose and fix the issue. It was not a simple 1-2-3 due to the poor initial installation from another company 9 years ago. He was diligent looking for solutions and was able to get the AC working. Part of the issue was the thermostat, which he replaced. I will make Akian my go-to company for my system. thank you Carlos. It is only a 4 because I was hoping for same day services yesterday.

Do not call if you actually have an emergency. Called them around 5pm this afternoon, told them my toilet was leaking all over the floor and that I was on the ground floor of a multi-floor condominium building. They opened a ticket and said someone would be out between 6pm and midnight. Called around 6:30 to see if there was an update, because even with the water turned off I had about 2 inches of water leaking out onto the floor. She said the plumber was finishing up a call then heading to me. I called an hour later and she said "oh, we don't service multi-floor buildings you will have to call someone else but they NEVER called to tell me. Wasted two hours waiting for a plumber that was never coming, causing damage to the bathroom floor and the carpeting in the hallway.

Solving Diagnostic Failures Inside Electric Heating Networks

When a storage system stops hitting its target temperatures or frequently trips your electric panel, the root cause is usually a breakdown within the internal heating loop. In standard Electric Water Heaters, the submerged Heating Elements remain under non-stop thermal and chemical stress, causing mineral scale to slowly bind to the metal until it burns out completely. Our troubleshooting avoids superficial guesswork; we use digital multimeters to measure resistance and continuity directly across your elements and thermostats. By swapping out only the broken components, we restore precise temperature control while saving you the cost of a full tank tear-out.

Eliminating System Strain from Closed-Loop Thermal Expansion

Modern municipal water guidelines turn most residential plumbing loops into closed systems, giving expanding fluids nowhere to go as they heat up. When cold water undergoes intense heating inside a tank, its physical volume increases, creating sharp pressure spikes that put stress on your copper joints. To absorb this regular physical strain, our standard installation path includes placing heavy-duty Expansion Tanks on your incoming lines. This safety reservoir acts as a reliable hydraulic cushion, keeping your mechanical Pressure Relief Valves from leaking or wearing out early from constant high pressure.

Fighting Tank Metal Corrosion with Sacrificial Minerals

The core steel body of a traditional storage water heater faces continuous corrosive forces from hot, pressurized municipal water. To keep your system from rusting through and leaking from the inside out, manufacturers integrate sacrificial Anode Rods directly into the tank core. These rods are engineered to slowly degrade over a three-to-five-year window, absorbing the brunt of galvanic corrosion so the primary steel tank walls stay perfectly intact. Because local water chemistry can vary drastically across Middlesex County, having our team inspect and replace these rods is a critical maintenance step that can successfully double your tank’s operational lifespan.

Professional Exhaust Infrastructure for Venting Gas Systems

Setting up or repairing high-recovery Gas Water Heaters requires absolute mechanical precision regarding how combustion byproducts are routed out of your living space. In older suburban homes, venting low-temperature flue gases up an old, unlined masonry chimney is a serious air quality hazard and a building code violation. We specialize in modernizing older utility zones by configuring advanced direct-vent or power-vent Vent Pipes / Venting Systems using heavy-duty, airtight PVC lines. Our field technicians maintain exact slopes and seals, keeping your indoor air safe while your gas-fired unit runs at maximum thermal performance.

Removing Delivery Lag for Immediate Hot Water Availability

In expansive luxury estates or homes where the laundry rooms and bathrooms sit far away from the main basement utility cluster, waiting for hot water to travel across the house wastes time and thousands of gallons of clean municipal water every year. We solve this common layout issue by installing smart, high-efficiency Recirculation Pumps directly into your home’s piping network. These pumps maintain a quiet, continuous loop of warm water right behind your primary fixtures, ensuring hot water is available the moment you open a tap. This upgrade is a popular lifestyle enhancement across the Greater Massachusetts Area that adds instant luxury while lowering your water bill.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are tankless water heating systems recommended for larger Bedford estates?

Transitioning your layout to wall-mounted Tankless Water Heaters provides an endless hot water heaters / on demand supply, which effectively eliminates morning scheduling bottlenecks. This technical setup is highly recommended throughout the Greater Massachusetts Area because it generates instant heat strictly on demand while reclaiming valuable square footage in your mechanical room.

What causes an electric water heater to trip the circuit panel or lose temperature?

In standard Electric Water Heaters, these heating and power failures are usually caused by heavy mineral scale encrusting the submerged Heating Elements. This layer insulates the element until it overheats and burns out completely. Our team uses digital multimeters to diagnose exact resistance faults, allowing us to perform targeted component replacements rather than a full tank swap.

Why is my water heater pressure relief valve leaking or weeping continuously?

Continuous weeping from Pressure Relief Valves is a primary sign of extreme thermal expansion within a closed plumbing loop. As cold water is heated, its physical volume increases and spikes internal line pressure. Installing heavy-duty Expansion Tanks directly on the cold water feed line neatly cushions these shifts, protecting hidden pipes across Suffolk County.

How does inspecting and replacing the sacrificial anode rod protect my storage tank?

Sacrificial Anode Rods are engineered to draw aggressive electrochemical oxidation and minerals away from your inner steel storage walls, slowly degrading over time to prevent the body from rusting through. Because water characteristics vary across different neighborhoods in Middlesex County, checking and replacing a spent rod during routine maintenance can successfully double your tank's operational lifespan.

Can a new high-recovery gas water heater be safely vented through an old chimney?

No, routing low-temperature flue exhaust from modern Gas Water Heaters up old, unlined masonry chimneys creates severe safety risks and violates building codes. We specialize in retrofitting older Bedford, MA utility spaces by engineering advanced direct-vent or power-vent Vent Pipes / Venting Systems using high-grade PVC lines to safely expel combustion byproducts.
