Heat pumps are popular heating systems, especially in homes, businesses, and other facilities that do not have a connection to natural gas. A heat pump is sort of like a “reverse air conditioner,” meaning instead of pumping heat out of your home from inside, it gathers heat from the outside and pumps it in where you need it. This type of heating is emissions-free, effective, and energy-efficient, and is rapidly becoming a popular choice for those looking for reliable heating without the burden of an additional fuel supply.

If your heat pump isn’t working properly or has stopped working altogether, we can come to you and provide you with a quality repair that solves the issue at its source.

If your heat pump is past its useful lifespan, we can outfit your home with a state-of-the-art replacement system that provides you with the energy-efficient heat you need.

From world-class workmanship to customer service that isn’t found anywhere else, we want your experience with our crew to be so memorable you’ll come back to us again and again for all of your heat pump needs.

Heat Pump Repairs

While heat pumps may be efficient and effective, they are prone to breaking down. Because they have a number of moving parts and crucial components that all need to work together, even small problems can bring down your entire system. At Akian Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, our Watertown heat pump experts can identify the source of your problem accurately and provide you with a fix that works. We never just treat the symptoms of your issue—we work hard to correctly identify the source of your problem because we believe you want a solution you can count on. We identify and repair all types of issues with your heat pump, including:
– Faulty compressors
– Refrigerant leaks
– Electrical connection problems
– Dirty components
– Thermostat problems
– Damaged coils
– Damaged belts
Whatever type of heat pump you have, Akian Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric can get it fixed. We service all makes and models of unit, and we always try to use genuine parts and premium components because we know you want a solution that lasts. This extra step of quality is just one of the ways we believe we stand out from the rest of the competition.

Type of Heat Pumps: Ducted & Mini-Split

Ducted Heat Pumps- (air source heat pumps) replace your outdoor air conditioning unit and provide you with not only efficient cooling but heating as well. They can act as a primary heat source or secondary heat source when paired with a hot air furnace. These systems do typically qualify for rebates and/or tax credits.

Mini-Split Heat Pumps (also air source heat pumps) are a good solution for many applications. In existing homes that do not have ductwork and that would be a challenge to add ductwork to these are a great option. Many times the mini-split system does not require much if any opening of walls, floor or ceiling to install. Even for new construction they are a great option. With the ability to efficiently produce heat even during temperatures below 0 degrees F, mini-split heat pumps have come a long way (specifically the Mitsubishi HyperHeat series). These systems do typically qualify for rebates and/or tax credits..

Heat Pump Installations

Heat pumps are like other heating solutions in that they have a finite lifespan—after a while, you’re going to have replace your unit entirely. When your system begins to break down frequently, is showing signs of age, has become incredibly inefficient, or simply can’t keep up with your heating demands any further, it may be time to retire it and install a new one. When you need your heat pump replaced, our team will send an experienced technician to you in order to measure and evaluate your home and then hand-select the perfect replacement system for your home. We make sure that every replacement system we install is efficient, advanced, and set up to provide you with the high-quality heat you need.

Carlos was very professional. He explained everything on the diagnostics of our old furnace. We have to get a new furnace, and explained why. He gave us an estimate and arranged for installation soon.

Rarely do I write reviews for companies, especially negative ones but my experience with Akian Plumbing was so harrowing that I just needed to let people know. My heater broke and it took 3 different technicians spread across over 2 weeks to even figure out what the issue was. After they took half the payment up front for parts there was radio silence for almost a week. When I tried to call them I would be directed to their unbearable automotive chat bot that would refuse to redirect me to a live operator. The lack of communication and the unprofessionalism made me think that I was scammed. When they finally reached out to me after I called them repeatedly, they let me know that they could not handle the repair and processed me a refund. This entire process had me with no heat for over 2 weeks and I couldnt even get a second opinion at this point because Akian already took my money. Terrible experience overall.

I called Akian on 3 seperate occasions over the past month for plumbing issues with my elderly parents toilet. George A came out on 2 of these visits and was extremely patient and kind to my parents who are in their 90s. He explained all of the options and costs and made recommendations for them. I highly recommend them.

Akian recently installed a new gas furnace and AC unit in my townhouse, including duct cleaning. It was a big job and major expense, but I feel confident in the equipment and the workmanship. AJ and Malik completed the entire job in two days, explained things to me as they went, tested thoroughly, and cleaned up the areas where they worked before they left. I am happy with the project and hope the equipment will last for many years to come.

I would highly recommend this company. I have had hot water issues for many years and had many different plumbers and come try to "fix" the problem. Chris worked several hours over two days and finally determined that my tankless water heater had a major problem with air intake. He was able to replace the heater in one day and went above and beyond duty to check issues with the intake on the outside of the building. I will definitely use this company again and I will specifically request Kris as my technician.

Called early on a Sunday because water heater was not working. I was told the plumber would be at my house between 12-2pm. I called around 2:40 for an update on when they would arrived. Never got a call back. Called again at 4:30. Was told they would have the plumber reach out to me. Still no call so I canceled around 4:50. No hot water for am showers. Also they want $399 just to come on a Sunday.

Extremely Disappointing Service -- Poor Communication, Questionable Pricing, and a Complete Lack of Follow-Through I hired this company to address a water leak in my steam heating system. Initially, I believed the problem was with two steam vents that I had purchased myself but was unable to remove because they were seized. The company charged me $450 to install two vents that I supplied, a job that took approximately one hour. Unfortunately, replacing the vents did not resolve the problem. We subsequently identified what appeared to be a clogged line beneath one of the vents. I requested an estimate to repair the problem and was instead given a proposal to replace both lines for approximately $2,150. When I asked why both needed replacing when only one appeared to be clogged, the technician's explanation was simply that the other one could eventually clog. I explained that I wasn't comfortable spending that amount of money unnecessarily and that, as the homeowner, I believed it was my prerogative to determine what work I wanted performed. I also indicated that I might seek another estimate. Later that evening, I spoke with the technician again and explained that I would like to move forward, but requested a revised estimate to replace only the clogged line. He assured me he would speak with the office and get back to me. A week passed. Nothing. What followed was an extraordinarily frustrating exercise in trying to communicate with this company. Their telephone system requires you to leave a message and wait for someone to return your call, with no indication of when that might happen. If you're unavailable when they call, the entire process starts over. The only person with whom I was able to maintain any consistent communication was the manager of their answering service, primarily through text messages. Eventually, he provided a revised price of $1,850 to replace just the one clogged line. This raised yet another concern. The original estimate was $2,150 to replace both lines. Removing what I understood to be approximately 60% of the proposed work resulted in a price reduction of only $300, or roughly 14%. I also asked the manager whether he had the original estimate prepared by the technician so we could compare the two proposals. He responded that they were attempting to contact the technician. I never received the original estimate, an explanation of the pricing, or any meaningful follow-up. Once again, communication stalled. Finally, arrangements were made for someone from their service department to call and discuss my concerns. I explained that I would be available around noon, and they agreed to call at approximately that time. I sat with my phone in my lap from 11:30 a.m. until 1:15 p.m., waiting for a call that never came. What makes this especially troubling is that I have three family members living in my home, a steam heating system that needs repair, and winter approaching. This is not a cosmetic improvement or an optional renovation. It is a necessary repair to keep my home heated. I cannot help but come away with the impression that this company is more interested in the size of the job than in providing responsible, attentive service to its customers. Whether that is actually their motivation, I cannot say, but their conduct has certainly left me feeling that way. I have no objection to paying a fair price for professional work. What I do object to is being encouraged to authorize work that has not been adequately justified, receiving a revised price that raises legitimate questions, and then being repeatedly ignored when I ask for an explanation. My recommendation is simple: Look elsewhere. I cannot recommend this company strongly enough as one to avoid. Their questionable recommendations, unexplained pricing, repeated failures to communicate, disregard for scheduled callbacks, and apparent indifference to a customer facing a legitimate heating problem have been profoundly disappointing. A company that charges professional rates should be expected to deliver professional service, accountability, and communication. In my experience, this company failed on all three counts.

I called Akian plumbing to help me identify a leak. I had already opened up the ceiling of the floor below my bathroom, and they found the toilet flange was deteriorated. They came back in two days to remove the toilet and replace the flange which has resolved the leak. Scheduling was easy with them, and they were great at communicating arrival times and costs before starting the work. Highly recommended.
