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.

Strategic Load Upgrades for Modern Lifestyle Hardware

Upgrading your home with next-generation amenities requires a parallel shift in how your central electrical framework distributes power. Failing to adjust your main power core before introducing specialized, high-amperage equipment can shorten the lifespan of your electronics or create active fire hazards behind your drywall.

Integrating a rapid-charge station for your electric vehicle requires more than just a standard wall socket. Our crew establishes isolated 240-volt dedicated branch circuits with proper arc-fault circuit interrupter protection, ensuring your vehicle charges at maximum speed without destabilizing your primary home grid.

Older service enclosures often top out at a restrictive 60 or 100 amps, leaving zero margin for modern structural additions or climate control systems. A professional panel upgrade replaces restrictive bus bars and aging breakers with premium, high-capacity distribution centers designed to safely manage all simultaneous power draws.

Severe coastal weather frequently threatens local overhead power lines, threatening households with extended, freezing utility blackouts. Our comprehensive standby backup systems feature sensitive automatic transfer switches that seamlessly isolate your home from the disabled municipal grid and restore power to critical appliances within seconds.

Dedicated High-Voltage Circuitry for Energy-Dense Storage Tanks

Installing or maintaining a conventional storage tank water heater demands a highly continuous, intense power draw that can quickly compromise shared domestic lines. To prevent localized wire overheating and voltage drops, our licensed electricians install isolated, dedicated circuits running directly from your upgraded distribution panel to the water heater’s immersion elements. By matching structural wire gauges precisely to your equipment’s kilowatt specifications, we isolate the heavy continuous load. This professional configuration protects surrounding sensitive household smart electronics from sudden voltage sags and ensures your storage tank recovers temperature efficiently without straining your system.

Subpanel Integration for Multi-Element Tankless Water Heaters

Transitioning your household to an on-demand tankless water heater maximizes space and slashes standby energy losses, but it requires massive bursts of electrical current to flash-heat incoming cold water. Most whole-house electric tankless units require two or three independent double-pole circuit breakers drawing power concurrently. To accommodate this intense, instantaneous demand, our technicians perform precision calculations of your home’s total electrical headroom. We frequently install heavy-duty secondary subpanels and specialized commercial-grade bus bars to supply the clean, dedicated current your tankless unit needs to function flawlessly without overtaxing your home’s primary breakers.

Code-Compliant Exterior Disconnect Switches for Advanced Plumbing Machinery

National and local building codes strictly mandate that any hardwired mechanical equipment located outside or in high-moisture zones must feature an independent, weatherproof safety disconnect box. This localized switch must be positioned within arm’s reach of the equipment, giving service technicians a foolproof way to cut off high-voltage power on-site before performing water heater repairs or system replacements. If your current mechanical footprint lacks this critical safety component, our team can install a rugged, corrosion-resistant outdoor disconnect enclosure that satisfies municipal regulations and protects your service technicians.

Precision Multi-Meter Testing and Balancing for Hybrid Heat Pumps

Eco-friendly hybrid heat pump water heaters utilize an advanced combination of an energy-efficient compressor loop and traditional electric backup elements. Because the system constantly shifts between these mechanical modes depending on the ambient temperature, it creates distinct, fluctuating loads that require a perfectly balanced power supply. Our certified crews utilize diagnostic digital multimeters to carefully map out your line voltage and verify structural grounding path integrity. By stabilizing your home’s power delivery and routing pristine 240-volt connections, we prevent control board failures and safeguard your premium hybrid investment through harsh New England winters.

Comprehensive Dual-Trade Diagnosis and Permitting Services

When a water heating system stops delivering hot water, the underlying failure is frequently an unpredictable combination of compromised plumbing valves and shorted electrical controls. Rather than dealing with the frustration of coordinating two separate contracting companies, homeowners turn to Akian for our seamless dual-trade proficiency. Our cross-trained professionals safely diagnose both water distribution systems and complex electrical configurations in a single visit. Whether your property requires a new digital thermostat assembly, rewired internal controls, or a full system replacement, we handle all municipal permitting across Suffolk County and Middlesex County to guarantee fully compliant, insured results.

Dedicated Subpanels: Essential for Safe Operation of Tankless Water Heaters in Malden Homes

As the demand for efficient water heating solutions rises, tankless water heaters have become increasingly popular in Malden homes, necessitating the installation of dedicated subpanels. These high-amp appliances require a significant power supply to operate safely and efficiently, which often exceeds the capacity of standard home electrical systems. Ensuring that your tankless system is connected to a dedicated subpanel not only mitigates the risk of electrical hazards but also enhances overall system performance and longevity, reinforcing the importance of professional installation and compliance with local electrical codes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my Malden, MA home needs a complete electrical panel upgrade?

If your property experiences frequently tripping circuit breakers, flickering interior lights when large appliances kick on, or still relies on an outdated 60-amp or 100-amp service box, it is time for an upgrade. Upgrading your service panel ensures your electrical infrastructure safely handles high-amperage modern lifestyle hardware without creating fire hazards behind your drywall.

What electrical modifications are required to install a high-speed Level 2 EV charger?

Installing a rapid Level 2 EV charging station for electric cars requires a dedicated 240-volt branch circuit linked directly to your central distribution box. Our licensed electricians install these lines with code-compliant arc-fault circuit interrupter protection to maximize vehicle charging speeds while preventing structural panel overloads.

Why do electric tankless water heaters require multiple circuit breakers and subpanels?

Because tankless setups require massive bursts of instantaneous current to flash-heat running water on demand, they create short but severe electrical spikes. Meeting these demands typically requires two or three independent double-pole circuit breakers working concurrently, which frequently requires adding a heavy-duty secondary subpanel or commercial-grade bus bars to isolate the load.

Why does building code require an outdoor weatherproof safety disconnect box?

National and local Massachusetts building regulations mandate that hardwired mechanical units located outside—such as eco-friendly hybrid heat pump water heaters—must feature an independent, line-of-sight cutoff. A rugged, weatherproof exterior disconnect enclosure allows technical crews to completely cut high-voltage power at the machine itself before performing any maintenance or emergency repairs.

Does Akian pull municipal electrical permits for residential projects in Suffolk and Middlesex County?

Yes, absolutely. As a multi-licensed, dual-trade contractor operating across the Greater Massachusetts Area, Akian manages all structural paperwork and pulls required municipal electrical permits for our projects. Whether we are installing home backup standby generators or rewiring internal appliances, we ensure all work is fully compliant with local building departments.
