Bill from Akian Plumbing was extremely professional, friendly, responsive, and service oriented. He arrived on time in a mask, gloves, and booties. He immediately diagnosed the issue with our toilet, carried out the repair quickly and expertly for a reasonable price, and then checked in on any other issues we might have while he was there. We couldn’t have been happier with Bill’s amazing service and will certainly turn to Akian again in the future for our plumbing needs.

Professional and quick service. I found all the staff to be very helpful and friendly. Appreciated that they were easy to get ahold of and gave me an accurate window of when they would arrive. Followed covid precautions and social distancing well. The staff was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions and made great suggestions for general and quick maintenance that would save me money in the long run. Also found their quotes to be competitive.

It was easy to book and I was able to get an appointment quickly. Bill showed up on time and was professional, clearly experienced, did immaculate work and also installed an additional piece that will save me on future maintenance.
Cost was totally reasonable and will be using Akian as my plumber going forward.
Greg
Used them for three projects, one of which was an emergency job. Each time they responded very promptly and professionally. Their work is top notch and I would recommend them in a heart beat.
Karin
Akian Plumbing was friendly, efficient, and affordable. I appreciated that they were very straightforward with their pricing and also offered excellent customer service. They replaced my water heater and did an excellent job (they also charged hundreds of dollars less than all the other companies I quoted ahead of time). I absolutely plan to hire them again in the future!

I’ve used Steve and his team across several properties (each with their own nuances), and they do phenomenal work. They are prompt, efficient, flexible, fair, and perhaps most importantly, transparent. They will illustrate what happened, how it happened, provide mitigation strategies, and things to avoid in general.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my furnace or heating system needs a professional repair?
Common warning signs include unusual noises (banging or whistling), a sudden spike in energy bills, or the system frequently cycling on and off. If your home has cold spots or the air feels lukewarm, it’s time to call a licensed technician. At Akian, we provide expert heating diagnostics in Watertown to catch small issues before they lead to a total system failure during a New England winter.
Why is my air conditioner running but not cooling my home?
This is often caused by a dirty air filter, a blocked condensate drain line, or low refrigerant levels. Restricted airflow forces your AC to work harder without lowering the temperature. We recommend seasonal AC tune-ups to ensure your evaporator coils are clean and your system is charged, which prevents ice buildup and extends the life of your unit.
When should I consider an electrical panel upgrade for my home?
You should consider an upgrade if you frequently trip breakers, use multiple power strips to manage appliances, or still have an old fuse box. Modern homes require more power for HVAC systems and EV chargers. Upgrading to a 200-amp service ensures your home remains safe, meets current electrical codes, and can handle the load of modern high-efficiency equipment.
What should I do in a plumbing emergency like a burst pipe or severe leak?
First, immediately turn off your main water shut-off valve to prevent water damage. Once the water is off, contact a 24/7 emergency plumber. Akian Plumbing offers rapid-response emergency services in the Greater Boston area. Our licensed team can quickly locate the source of the leak and provide a same-day fix to protect your home’s structure and your belongings.
What is the difference between a standard boiler and a high-efficiency combination unit?
A traditional boiler focuses solely on heating your home via radiators or baseboards. A high-efficiency "combi" boiler provides both whole-home heating and on-demand hot water from a single, compact wall-mounted unit. These systems can reach up to 98% efficiency, significantly lowering fuel consumption compared to older cast-iron models.
Is it worth switching from an oil furnace to a high-efficiency heat pump?
Yes, especially with current federal tax credits and local rebates available through 2025. Cold-climate heat pumps provide highly efficient heating and cooling, reducing your carbon footprint and eliminating the need for fuel deliveries. Our team specializes in sizing and installing these systems to ensure they perform reliably even in sub-zero temperatures.
How often should I replace my AC filters, and why does it matter for my system's performance?
You should check your filters every 30–90 days. Clean filters are the #1 way to prevent "frozen evaporator coils,"
