Andrew was wonderful - super friendly, helpful, thorough, and efficient! He ran a full maintenance check on our HVAC and plumbing systems and proposed tangible, cost-effective solutions to small needs that emerged. He was able to accomplish those needs on the same day and mostly independent of us. I will certainly look to Akian and Andrew for any future needs!

Evan R. from Akian provided excellent service. On the first visit, he replaced our indirect hot water tank and installed a whole house filter. He was able to diagnose the problem with our heating system that our previous plumbers were unable to correct. After he repaired multiple corroded elements and upgraded the neutralizing system, our heating system was working again! He was very knowledgeable and provided superior work and understandable guidance regarding required future maintenance.

I am writing this review for my step father who is not good with technology. He hired Akian for an emergency winter no-heat call and they came in the next day. They were responsive and updated via text message about arrival time. They spent about two hours fixing the problem and the bill came to over $800. A few weeks later the part that they had replaced sprung a massive leak and flooded the basement. They came back and replaced the part once again under warranty. This company is responsive but I am not sure I would hire them again because they are very expensive. They do stand behind their work though.

James G helped us the same day we reported a leak from our ac unit, showing up about 2 hours from the report. From there onwards he was very dedicated and explained every issue and the applied solution. He came back for a second review to install preventive measures, and again was very detailed with all his explanations. Highly recommend. Thanks for the service, James!

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.

My first time using Akian for my HVAC maintenance. James G. was friendly, knowledgeable, good at explaining and informative. Much appreciated. I also appreciate that the company sent out a reminder text for the appointment with a picture of the service person. Consider me a new customer of Akian who will be requesting James G. every time! Thank you.

We had an AC system that was not running, so we scheduled an appointment with Akian. Matt showed up on schedule, diagnosed the problem, and completed the necessary work quickly and at a reasonable price. We have used Akian in the past and continue to be very happy with their service. We will call them again for plumbing and HVAC issues in the future.

Sean C. and his assistant Berkeley came by on schedule and assessed the rusting flange on my toilet. Gave me a couple of options and what he recommended. Toilet installed and working well. The key items for the five star rating was their professional mannerism and attention to cleanliness (wearing shoe covers, wiping up spilt water, taking all trash with them, and most of all, they are pleasant people.). Thanks Akian Plumbing.

Stepping Into a Fully Empowered, Sustainable Living Space

We invite local residents to experience the peace of mind that comes with a robust, professionally modernized home energy grid. Many elegant properties across the area rely on antiquated infrastructure that simply cannot sustain the rigorous demand of modern luxury appliances. To address these hidden system strains, we provide detailed electrical rewiring services, carefully extracting brittle knob-and-tube setups or deteriorating metallic sheathed cables and replacing them with high-capacity, code-compliant copper lines and secure junction boxes. We seamlessly complement this structural upgrade by managing complete electrical panel upgrade operations, replacing your maxed-out, traditional fuse boxes with state-of-the-art distribution boards featuring advanced surge protection devices. To defend your home against severe coastal storms and regional grid failures, our design teams configure robust standby generator installation solutions that lock in continuous power to your essential climate and security systems. Furthermore, we help you embrace the future of transport by engineering dedicated EV chargers for electric cars, providing rapid, safe charging capabilities inside your garage or motor court.

When your main distribution center runs out of physical space for new circuits, forcing multiple rooms onto a single line, you risk severe system overloads. We resolve this operational bottleneck by building a secondary structural subpanel installation, dividing your household loads cleanly to protect sensitive digital electronics. This layout creates dedicated breathing room for heavy energy draws without disturbing your primary distribution network.

Exposed wiring running through unfinished basements, crawlspaces, or exterior utility walls faces constant threats from structural moisture, friction, and environmental wear. Our experienced installation teams mount heavy-duty rigid electrical conduit runs and industrial-grade raceways to encase your critical infrastructure in a protective shell. These clean, secure pathways guarantee long-term line stability and ensure absolute compliance with municipal building ordinances.

Powering your home with a backup power source without an isolated pathway can accidentally send high-voltage electricity backwards into the municipal grid, creating extreme hazards. We eliminate this operational threat by installing a code-approved manual or automatic transfer switch directly into your central power intake line. This vital device establishes an absolute physical barrier, allowing you to toggle power sources safely while shielding delicate appliances from sudden utility surges.

High-Amperage Circuit Integration for Traditional Water Heaters

Transitioning to a high-capacity electric storage water heater requires a robust power foundation that standard household outlets cannot provide. These heavy mechanical units draw sustained, high-wattage power during their heating cycles, making it critical to establish a dedicated, isolated electrical pathway. Our field technicians trace your existing load distribution, pull heavy-gauge non-metallic sheathed cables directly from your main board, and install a matching heavy-duty dual-pole circuit breaker to guarantee continuous hot water without straining the rest of your home.

Powering Instant Tankless Units with Precision Load Calculations

Tankless electric water heaters provide incredible space savings and on-demand hot water, but their extreme power requirements can instantly paralyze a standard residential service. The moment multiple hot water valves open, these units demand massive spikes in current to flash-heat the water instantly. Before any installation begins, our technical specialists perform a thorough structural load calculation. We then route multiple dedicated high-amperage lines and install specialized multi-pole breakers to ensure your tankless unit operates flawlessly without dimming your lights.

Low-Voltage Calibration for Innovative Hybrid Heat Pump Systems

Eco-conscious property owners frequently opt for hybrid heat pump water heaters to dramatically reduce their annual energy footprint. These advanced units combine standard heating elements with a specialized top-mounted compressor, requiring a smart, multi-layered wiring configuration. Our precision technicians expertly align your primary high-voltage lines alongside the sensitive low-voltage control circuits that govern the unit’s digital thermostats and operating modes, preserving your manufacturer warranty and optimizing performance.

Mounting External Weatherproof Emergency Safety Overrides

To comply with local safety regulations and national building codes, all major fixed-place residential mechanical systems must feature an independent, clearly visible manual shut-off switch within arm’s reach. We install industrial-grade, weather-resistant electrical disconnect boxes directly adjacent to your water heating equipment. This crucial safety measure allows property owners or visiting plumbing specialists to instantly kill all live electrical currents before performing routine maintenance, completely removing any risk of accidental shock.

Advanced Multimeter Diagnostics and Internal Element Analysis

When an internal element short-circuits or digital control boards fail, your water heating system can suddenly go cold or trip your primary breaker panel repeatedly. Our diagnostic specialists utilize advanced multimeters and digital voltage testers to isolate the exact point of electrical failure within the appliance’s internal wiring. By pin-pointing the shorted lines or damaged connections, we complete clean, component-level wire restorations that safely return your system to peak working order without requiring a full, costly replacement.

Expert Electrical Panel Upgrades: Safeguarding Brookline Estates' Historic Integrity

Retrofitting Brookline Estates with high-capacity electrical panel upgrades is essential for preserving its rich history while ensuring modern safety standards. Our team of licensed electricians specializes in historical renovations, combining deep knowledge of local building codes with a commitment to maintaining architectural authenticity. By leveraging state-of-the-art technology and techniques, we ensure that vital electrical systems not only meet today's demands but also protect the estate's legacy for future generations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my older Brookline home require structural electrical rewiring services?

Many classic estates rely on outdated architectural grid frameworks like knob-and-tube or deteriorating metallic sheathed cables. Our licensed electricians provide comprehensive electrical rewiring services to replace these brittle networks with modern, high-capacity copper lines and secure junction boxes, removing severe fire hazards and ensuring code compliance.

When is an electrical panel upgrade necessary for modern high-draw appliances?

An electrical panel upgrade is vital if your home experiences flipping breakers, flickering lights, or lacks physical slots for heavy additions like EV chargers and high-efficiency hybrid heat pump water heaters. We replace obsolete distribution centers with state-of-the-art main boards that feature advanced surge protection devices to handle dense power loads safely.

How does a secondary structural subpanel installation protect sensitive electronics?

When heavy-draw appliances draw power from shared circuits, they cause voltage drops that can harm delicate digital devices. Building an independent secondary subpanel installation isolates your heaviest energy loads from your primary distribution network, giving high-demand appliances room to breathe without disrupting the rest of your grid.

Why do I need a code-approved transfer switch for my standby generator installation?

Operating an emergency backup generator without an isolated pathway can accidentally backfeed high-voltage currents into public lines, creating fatal risks for local utility teams. Our teams integrate an automatic or manual transfer switch into your main board to build an absolute physical barrier, allowing you to toggle power sources safely during major outages.

Why is a weatherproof emergency safety disconnect box mandatory near my water heater?

Massachusetts building ordinances mandate an accessible, visible manual shut-off control within arm's reach of major mechanical systems. Installing a weather-resistant electrical disconnect box allows field technicians or property owners to instantly isolate and kill high-voltage currents before element analysis or maintenance, eliminating accidental shock hazards.
