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.

Aligning System Architecture with Household Demand

Selecting a mechanical upgrade for your estate requires balancing initial performance features with decades of projected fuel savings. We guide you through the structural advantages of modern setups to ensure your investment perfectly balances utility with operational economy.

Transitioning to compact, wall-mounted Tankless Water Heaters ensures your property benefits from continuous warmth precisely on demand. This sophisticated setup has become a top choice throughout the Greater Massachusetts Area for luxury residences that require simultaneous, heavy volume without space constraints.

Our hybrid Heat Pump Water Heaters transfer existing warmth from surrounding air zones into your water supply, utilizing a fraction of the electricity consumed by legacy machinery. This configuration is an ideal choice for Lexington residents who want to significantly lower their home’s carbon footprint while maintaining a steady storage system.

Time-tested traditional Tank Water Heaters remain a dependable choice, offering a heavily insulated thermal reservoir that is constantly primed for immediate household distribution. Whether your home is optimized for the quick-recovery mechanics of Gas Water Heaters or the straightforward installation footprint of Electric Water Heaters, we ensure a flawless, code-compliant integration.

Responding to Thermal Fatigue in Electric Clusters

When your home’s shower begins running lukewarm unexpectedly, the issue can often be traced back to silent electrical degradation inside the tank shell. For properties relying on Electric Water Heaters, the submerged Heating Elements bear intense thermal strain daily, accelerating mineral scale buildup that eventually chokes out electrical conductivity. Our diagnostic approach avoids superficial guesswork; we deploy high-accuracy digital multimeters to measure resistance and isolate the exact failing component. By managing targeted part replacements rather than pushing for unnecessary complete replacements, we save Lexington homeowners money while restoring flawless temperature control.

Neutralizing Invisible Hydraulic Stress in Closed Plumbing Loops

In many modern Lexington residences, backflow prevention mechanisms create a closed plumbing circuit, giving expanding water nowhere to escape. When your system activates, the volume of water expands naturally, causing sharp spikes in internal pressure that stress your pipes. To prevent this destructive dynamic, we install high-grade Expansion Tanks as an essential system buffer. This safety tank absorbs excess liquid volume, protecting your sensitive Pressure Relief Valves from leaking or experiencing premature mechanical failure. By managing this structural tension, we extend the life expectancy of your entire piping layout.

Preserving Core Tank Walls from Internal Decomposition

The inner steel lining of a standard hot water storage system is constantly fighting against the aggressive, corrosive elements naturally found in municipal supply lines. To keep your tank from rusting out from the inside, manufacturers build in sacrificial Anode Rods to absorb the brunt of galvanic corrosion. These rods deliberately deteriorate over a three-to-five-year window so that your primary steel tank remains completely structurally sound. Because mineral profiles can change across Middlesex County, routine maintenance checks on these components are critical. Swapping out a depleted anode rod is a quick, inexpensive maintenance task that prevents sudden tank ruptures and costly basement floods.

Ensuring Complete Carbon Monoxide Safety for Gas Units

Managing a high-recovery Gas Water Heaters repair or fresh installation requires rigorous mechanical precision regarding how combustion exhaust is removed from your home. In historic Lexington estates, old unlined brick chimneys are rarely suitable or safe for handling the cooler, acidic exhaust produced by modern high-efficiency systems. We specialize in retrofitting these traditional spaces with direct-vent and power-vent Vent Pipes / Venting Systems using thick, heavy-duty PVC lines. Our professionals maintain exact slope grading and airtight seals, guaranteeing that your family breathes clean air while your gas-fired unit functions safely at maximum thermal capacity.

Eliminating Delivery Lag for Instant Bathroom Warmth

In large multi-level layouts or homes with remote mechanical rooms, waiting minutes for hot water to travel from the basement up to a master suite wastes thousands of gallons of clean municipal water every year. We solve this common plumbing bottleneck for Lexington homeowners by installing smart, high-performance Recirculation Pumps. These advanced pumps keep a steady loop of warm water moving silently behind your plumbing fixtures, ensuring hot water is available the instant you open a tap. This premium modification is a favorite upgrade across the Greater Massachusetts Area, adding supreme daily luxury while reducing residential water waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a tankless system highly recommended for modern Lexington properties?

Upgrading to wall-mounted Tankless Water Heaters provides an continuous supply of hot water on demand, easily handling heavy, simultaneous usage. This setup is highly requested across the Greater Massachusetts Area for luxury estates because it completely eliminates standby fuel loss while freeing up valuable basement square footage.

What causes an electric water heater to produce only lukewarm water?

In Electric Water Heaters, an unexpected drop in temperature is usually tied to failing internal Heating Elements. Mineral scale accumulation chokes out the conductivity of these elements over time. We perform targeted resistance testing with digital multimeters to replace only the compromised part, saving you from a full system replacement.

Why do modern closed loop plumbing systems in Lexington need an expansion tank?

Heating water causes it to physically expand, building severe hydraulic pressure in a closed circuit. Installing heavy-duty Expansion Tanks gives this extra volume a safe cushion, preventing your Pressure Relief Valves from weeping or failing early, and protecting your lines across Suffolk County.

How does a sacrificial anode rod prevent internal storage tank leaks?

Sacrificial Anode Rods actively attract corrosive water minerals, deliberately eroding over a three-to-five-year window so that your primary steel tank remains structurally sound. Because water profiles vary across Middlesex County, timely replacement of these rods is critical to preventing sudden tank ruptures.

Can I install a high-efficiency gas water heater without an old brick chimney?

Yes. We specialize in retrofitting homes by running advanced direct-vent or power-vent Vent Pipes / Venting Systems using durable PVC lines. This bypasses legacy chimneys entirely, allowing historic Lexington, MA estates to safely operate high-recovery Gas Water Heaters while fully protecting indoor air quality.
