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.

Essential Power System Upgrades

To support a modern, tech-driven lifestyle, your home’s electrical foundation must be both resilient and adaptable. Our essential infrastructure modernizations focus on replacing aging components with heavy-duty equipment capable of handling massive continuous currents. By targeting the core bottlenecks in your electrical system, we eliminate power instability and prepare your property for high-demand modern technology.

If your property still relies on an outdated distribution board, you are likely experiencing flickering lighting circuits, blown fuses, or a frequently tripped circuit breaker. Modern household equipment draws massive structural currents that legacy units cannot balance safely. Upgrading your service box ensures consistent distribution and reduces residential fire risks significantly.

Upgrading to a sustainable vehicle means your garage requires a specialized Level 2 residential EV charging station. Our master electricians run dedicated high-voltage lines paired with internal grid-balancing safety controls to deliver fast fueling cycles right at home. This structural upgrade eliminates long lines at commercial utility depots while boosting your long-term property valuation.

Severe weather across the coastal region frequently compromises local municipal power frameworks. A custom emergency standby backup generator installation ensures your lighting, refrigeration, and medical devices keep running continuously through unexpected blackouts. Our technical installations utilize high-performance automatic transfer switches to restore electricity within seconds of a utility collapse.

Dedicated Circuits for Thermal Storage Systems

Operating a standard tank water heater demands an immense, sustained electrical load that cannot share standard household branch circuits. If a thermal appliance draws energy from a shared line, it will frequently trigger your main circuit breaker and overload internal branch connections. Our electrical services in Allston, MA focus on running code-compliant, dedicated multi-pole circuits designed specifically for thermal heating elements. By installing separate branch wiring and localized overcurrent protection, we isolate your water heating equipment from the rest of your sensitive home electronics, eliminating annoying line noise and ensuring consistent heating cycles.

Tankless Water Heater Multi-Breaker Integration

Transitioning to an energy-efficient tankless water heater offers an continuous supply of hot water, but its structural energy footprint is significantly different from traditional storage units. Electric tankless water heaters require instantaneous, high-amperage draws to flash-heat water on demand, which often requires multiple multi-pole breakers working simultaneously. Our expert team assesses your existing distribution center to determine if your panel can handle this sudden demand. When necessary, we install a secondary structural subpanel or upgrade your service lines to support the multiple lines required for modern tankless systems, ensuring code compliance across Suffolk County and Middlesex County.

External Disconnect Box Safety Restorations

Massachusetts building and safety regulations dictate that every major mechanical heating and water system must feature a dedicated, weatherproof electrical disconnect box situated within direct line of sight of the unit. This exterior structural configuration allows any visiting technician to immediately isolate high-voltage lines before performing routine plumbing maintenance or heating element restorations. If your current disconnect box is corroded, poorly positioned, or entirely absent, our licensed team can install durable, code-compliant external safety enclosures. This simple addition protects service professionals and safeguards your structural equipment from short-circuit damage during utility spikes.

Hybrid Heat Pump Electrical Balancing

Upgrading your home to a hybrid heat pump system is an incredible way to leverage advanced energy efficiency, but it requires a careful combination of mechanical plumbing and specialized electrical configuration. These advanced hybrid units combine traditional thermal storage with a top-mounted compressor that moves heat dynamically. Our multi-trade specialists ensure your electrical system balances this compressor load perfectly. We route the exact 240-volt multi-pole breaker supply required, perform detailed digital multimeter diagnostics, and confirm that your home’s main panel won’t suffer from localized voltage drops when the compressor kicks into high-gear mode.

Integrated Multi-Trade Maintenance Protocols

When structural issues impact your home’s water heating or climate machinery, the underlying issue is often a frustrating mix of plumbing leaks and compromised wiring. Hiring separate contractors frequently results in scheduling delays and finger-pointing. Because the technical staff at Akian maintains professional credentials across multiple trades, we diagnose the intersection of fluid dynamics and power distribution seamlessly. Whether checking for loose terminal bus bars, evaluating a failing water heater anode rod, or tracing shorted elements, we deliver complete, long-term resolutions. We manage all required local building permits internally, delivering an efficient, single-source experience that keeps your home completely up to code.

Essential Guidelines for Multi-Breaker Configuration in Home Electric Systems

Preparing your home grid for electric tankless water heaters requires a thorough understanding of electrical systems and safety protocols. This multi-breaker requirement ensures that your electrical infrastructure can handle the increased load, promoting optimal performance and preventing potential hazards. With over a decade of experience in residential electrical installations, our expertise guarantees that your home not only meets code requirements but also enhances energy efficiency and longevity of your water heating system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs that my home requires a complete electrical panel upgrade?

Common signs include frequently tripped circuit breakers, flickering lights when major appliances turn on, a crackling sound from your distribution board, or still relying on an old fuse box. If your property cannot balance modern energy demands, our team provides certified electrical panel upgrade solutions across Allston, MA to expand capacity and reduce fire risks.

Do I need a dedicated multi-pole circuit to install an electric water heater?

Yes. Heavy mechanical equipment and thermal storage systems draw a massive, sustained electrical load. Running a water heater on a shared branch circuit will routinely overload the line. We install NEC-compliant, high-voltage dedicated circuits to isolate your heating units, ensuring safe, consistent performance without disrupting other home electronics.

Why does an electric tankless water heater require multiple circuit breakers?

Unlike traditional tanks, tankless models require a large, instantaneous electrical draw to flash-heat water on demand. This intense energy footprint typically requires two to four multi-pole breakers operating simultaneously. Our residential grid technicians evaluate your main service panel to ensure it can support this load or safely integrate a secondary structural subpanel.

What is a weatherproof disconnect box, and is it required by local building codes?

A weatherproof disconnect box is an exterior electrical safety enclosure located within direct line of sight of high-voltage systems like hybrid heat pumps or HVAC units. Massachusetts building regulations strictly require these boxes so technicians can instantly cut off power locally before conducting repairs. We handle replacements and installations to keep your home fully up to code.

Does Akian pull municipal building permits for EV charger and generator installations?

Yes, absolutely. As a licensed multi-trade company servicing Suffolk County and Middlesex County, we manage all structural paperwork, inspections, and local building permits internally. Whether we are setting up automated backup generators or high-efficiency Level 2 EV chargers for electric cars, we ensure the entire process satisfies municipal guidelines.
