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+.

They are very friendly and only repair what's needed to be repaired. They made the repair and left me feeling like I didn't get taken advantage of.

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.

Is Your AC System Ready for an Upgrade?

Air conditioning technology has advanced rapidly in the last decade. If your current unit is frequently breaking down, struggling to maintain a comfortable temperature, or driving up your energy bills, it may be time to consider a professional installation. Modern, high-efficiency systems not only provide superior climate control but can also significantly reduce your monthly utility costs. Our team helps you evaluate whether a new installation is the most cost-effective solution for your long-term comfort.

If your AC unit is over 10–15 years old, it is likely using outdated technology that consumes far more electricity than modern systems. Replacing it now can reduce your energy consumption by up to 30%, saving you hundreds of dollars in utility bills every summer.

If you find yourself calling for repairs every season, you are essentially paying to keep a failing system on life support. Our installation experts can help you compare the long-term cost of continued maintenance versus the reliability and peace of mind that comes with a brand-new, warrantied installation.

Hot and cold spots are often the result of an improperly sized unit or failing ductwork. We perform professional load calculations to ensure your new system is perfectly matched to your home’s layout, providing consistent, balanced temperatures in every corner of your living space.

5 Signs You Need a New AC

Rising Energy Bills: If your utility costs have been steadily climbing despite consistent usage, your old system is likely struggling to maintain efficiency.

Frequent Breakdowns: If you are paying for constant repairs, the cost of maintenance is likely exceeding the value of the unit.

Age of System: If your unit is over 10–15 years old, modern, high-efficiency replacements will pay for themselves in energy savings.

Uneven Cooling: Rooms that never get cool or hot/cold spots throughout the house often indicate that your current system is improperly sized or failing.

Unusual Noises or Smells: While some issues can be repaired, recurring burning smells or grinding noises often signify terminal mechanical failure.

Working with our Installation Team, you can count on:

  • Precision Installation: Systems sized correctly for your home to ensure maximum efficiency.

Understanding the Heat Pump vs. Central AC Debate: The Definitive Guide

In the ongoing discussion regarding heat pumps and central air conditioning, it's essential to consider both energy efficiency and long-term savings. With over a decade of experience in HVAC systems, our analysis reveals that heat pumps not only provide effective temperature control but also reduce energy consumption, making them a sustainable choice for homeowners. As industry experts, we are committed to providing transparent, evidence-based insights that empower consumers to make informed decisions tailored to their unique heating and cooling needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a new AC system or just a repair?

While minor cooling issues can often be resolved with professional repairs, it is usually time to consider a full installation if your system is over 10–15 years old, requires frequent expensive repairs, or if your energy bills are steadily climbing despite regular maintenance. If your AC is failing to cool your home evenly or is making unusual noises, we can perform a diagnostic assessment to determine if a replacement will offer better long-term value and reliability than a temporary repair.

How do you determine what size AC unit I need?

We never use a "one-size-fits-all" approach. A professional installer must perform a Manual J Load Calculation, which considers your home's total square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, window placement, and local climate factors. Installing a unit that is too large causes "short cycling," leading to poor humidity control and premature wear, while an undersized unit will struggle to cool your home effectively and drive up your utility costs.

What is the difference between Central AC and a Ductless Mini-Split?

Central AC is ideal for homes with existing, well-maintained ductwork, as it provides consistent, whole-home cooling with discreet vents. Ductless mini-split systems are highly efficient, zone-based solutions that do not require ductwork. They are perfect for older homes, room additions, or specific areas where you want precise, room-by-room temperature control. We can help you evaluate your home's layout to determine which system offers the best performance and energy savings.

How long does a typical AC installation take?

For a standard AC replacement where existing ductwork and electrical lines are already in place, a typical installation takes about 4–8 hours. If the project requires new ductwork, extensive electrical upgrades, or the installation of a complex multi-zone system, the timeline can extend to 2–3 days. We always provide a clear, written estimate and timeline so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.

Why should I choose professional installation over a DIY approach?

Professional installation is essential for safety, efficiency, and warranty protection. Handling refrigerants, high-voltage electrical work, and proper structural integration requires specialized training and tools. Furthermore, most manufacturer warranties are only valid if the equipment is installed by a licensed professional. By choosing our team, you ensure your system is calibrated for peak performance, meets all local building codes, and is protected by comprehensive labor and manufacturer warranties.
