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 called Akian for a furnace cleaning and routine maintainance. Carlos provided great service and completed the maintainance without issue. He also provided a great explanation of recommended additional maintainance to maximize the life of my system

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.

Reliable AC Solutions Throughout Stoneham, MA

Stoneham homes range from charming historic properties to modern builds, each requiring a specific approach to climate control. Whether you are upgrading an old unit or installing a system in a new addition, our team ensures your home stays crisp and cool. We don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, we perform a detailed home assessment and load calculation to determine the exact cooling capacity your space requires.

From high-efficiency central air conditioning units to versatile heat pumps, we utilize the latest technology to maximize your comfort while minimizing your utility costs. Our technicians are factory-trained to handle everything from complex ductwork integration to the precision placement of outdoor air conditioning condensers.

Absolutely. Older units (10–15+ years) often operate at a SEER rating of 10 or less, while modern systems reach 18 to 25. An upgrade can reduce your cooling costs by up to 30–50%. Plus, with current Mass Save rebates, the system often pays for itself through energy savings and upfront incentives.

Not at all! We recommend a Ductless Mini-Split System. These units require only a small three-inch hole in the wall to connect the indoor air handler to the outdoor condenser. They are whisper-quiet, highly efficient, and won’t ruin the aesthetic of your historic Stoneham home.

Bigger isn’t always better. An oversized unit will “short cycle,” turning on and off too frequently, which leads to high humidity and premature wear. We perform a Manual J Load Calculation to size your system perfectly based on your square footage, insulation levels, and window orientation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I save with Mass Save rebates for AC installation in Stoneham, MA?

Stoneham homeowners can significantly lower the cost of professional air conditioning installation by leveraging Mass Save incentives. High-efficiency heat pumps often qualify for rebates up to $10,000, alongside 0% APR HEAT Loan financing. Our team manages the technical requirements and paperwork to ensure you maximize these savings for your Middlesex County home.

What is the best cooling solution for historic homes in Stoneham?

Many classic properties in Stoneham lack the ductwork required for traditional central air. For these homes, ductless mini-split systems are the ideal choice, providing powerful, zoned cooling without invasive construction. If your home already has vents, we can install a high-efficiency AC condenser or a multi-split system to provide modern comfort while preserving your home's unique character.

Why is my Stoneham AC unit blowing hot air instead of cold?

If your unit is blowing warm air, common culprits include a failed compressor, a refrigerant leak, or a frozen evaporator coil. While minor repairs are possible, these issues often signal that an older system is nearing the end of its life. We recommend a professional assessment to determine if a new, energy-efficient AC installation in Stoneham, MA is a more reliable and cost-effective long-term solution.

Do you handle the permits and licensing for AC installs in Stoneham?

Yes, absolutely. As a fully licensed contractor with a Massachusetts Sheet Metal License and Construction Supervisor License, we handle all necessary permitting with the Stoneham building department. We ensure every installation meets strict local codes across the Greater Massachusetts Area, providing you with a safe and fully warranted cooling system.

What specific equipment is involved in a standard Stoneham AC installation?

A comprehensive installation typically involves an outdoor AC condenser or heat pump, an indoor air handler, and an evaporator coil. We also evaluate and install secondary components like smart thermostats and condensate drains. For commercial clients in Suffolk and Middlesex County, we also provide expert installation for Rooftop Units (RTU) and packaged HVAC units.
