  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 called Akian for a furnace cleaning and routine maintainance. Carlos provided great service and completed the maintainance without issue. He also provided a great explanation of recommended additional maintainance to maximize the life of my system

  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.

 Verified 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+.

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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!

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heating Installation in Dorchester, MA

What heating system works best for Dorchester triple-deckers?

High-efficiency condensing gas boilers and multi-zone ductless mini-split heat pumps are ideal for Dorchester triple-deckers. Condensing boilers integrate cleanly into existing hydronic or steam radiator loops, while mini-split systems allow separate heating and cooling control for individual rental units or floors without cutting into walls.

Are permits required for heating replacement in Dorchester, MA?

Yes. The City of Boston Inspectional Services Department (ISD) requires mechanical, gas, and electrical permits for heating installations in Dorchester. As licensed Master Plumbers (License #PL16320-M) and certified HVAC contractors, we pull all necessary municipal permits and arrange the required inspections.

Can I receive Mass Save rebates for a new heating system in Dorchester?

Yes. Replacing outdated, inefficient heating hardware with qualifying high-efficiency condensing boilers or cold-climate air-source heat pumps makes Dorchester homeowners eligible for substantial Mass Save rebates and federal tax credits. We guide you through qualifying models and assist with documentation.

How long does a heating installation take in Dorchester?

A direct, same-type heating replacement typically takes one full day. More comprehensive retrofits—such as converting from oil to gas, running ductwork throughout a multi-story home, or installing multi-head ductless heat pump systems—usually take two to three days.

Will an electrical service upgrade be required for heat pumps in Dorchester?

Many older homes in Dorchester have 60-amp or 100-amp electrical panels. Upgrading to a 200-amp service is frequently recommended to support the electrical demands of modern cold-climate heat pumps. Our licensed in-house electricians manage panel upgrades and heating installation seamlessly together.
