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.

Essential Safety and Protection Components

A truly professional installation extends far beyond the heater itself; it involves the integration of critical safety hardware. We prioritize the installation of Expansion Tanks, which are necessary to absorb the increased pressure created by thermal expansion, protecting your pipes from stress fractures. Our technicians also meticulously inspect Vent Pipes / Venting Systems to ensure that any combustion byproducts from gas-powered units are safely exhausted outside the home. Furthermore, we verify that all Pressure Relief Valves are set to factory specifications, providing a vital fail-safe that prevents the tank from over-pressurizing. This holistic approach ensures your mechanical room remains safe and compliant with all local building codes.

Advanced Maintenance to Prevent Corroison

One of the most common reasons for premature tank failure is internal corrosion, but this is largely preventable with the right maintenance strategy. We specialize in the inspection and replacement of Anode Rods, which are designed to attract corrosive elements in the water so the tank lining doesn’t have to. If you notice your hot water has a metallic taste or a slight discoloration, it is often a sign that the rod has fully dissolved. By replacing these small but vital components, we can effectively double the lifespan of your unit. For our customers in Middlesex County, we provide routine flushing services to remove sediment that can settle at the base of the tank and decrease its overall heating capacity.

Solving Common Heating Failures

When your system stops producing heat, the culprit is often a specific internal part rather than the entire unit. In electric models, we frequently diagnose and replace burnt-out Heating Elements that have been compromised by mineral buildup or electrical surges. We also handle issues involving faulty Thermostats that may be providing inaccurate readings or failing to signal the unit to engage. Our diagnostic process is thorough, looking at every connection point to ensure we aren’t just treating the symptom, but solving the root cause of the breakdown. This precision repair work saves you from the unnecessary expense of a full replacement when a targeted fix is all that is required.

Improving Delivery with Recirculation Technology

Many older homes in Belmont suffer from a long wait for hot water to reach distant bathrooms or kitchens, leading to gallons of wasted water down the drain. We can resolve this inconvenience by installing Recirculation Pumps, which keep a small amount of hot water moving through your pipes at all times. This “instant-on” luxury is especially beneficial in larger properties where the distance between the heater and the faucet is significant. By adding this technology to your existing setup, you not only improve your daily routine but also increase the overall water efficiency of your home—a smart move for any sustainability-minded resident in the Greater Massachusetts Area.

Local Expertise for Long-Term Peace of Mind

Akian Plumbing is more than just a service provider; we are your neighbors dedicated to maintaining the infrastructure of our community. We understand the specific water chemistry and utility challenges found in Suffolk County and Middlesex County, allowing us to recommend solutions that truly last. From ensuring your Gas Water Heaters are properly piped to upgrading you to the latest Endless hot water heaters, our commitment to quality is evident in every joint we solder and every valve we turn. We stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties and a reputation for transparency, ensuring that when you think of hot water reliability in Belmont, you think of Akian Plumbing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it taking so long for hot water to reach my Belmont bathroom?

Long wait times are common in larger Belmont homes where the distance between the heater and the tap is significant. We can solve this by installing Recirculation Pumps, which keep hot water moving through your pipes for "instant-on" delivery, reducing water waste and frustration.

Can I switch from a traditional tank to a tankless water heater?

Yes, many homeowners in the Greater Massachusetts Area are upgrading to Tankless Water Heaters. These systems provide endless hot water on demand and free up valuable space in your mechanical room. Our team will assess your current gas or electric lines to ensure a seamless transition.

What does an anode rod do, and when should it be replaced?

Anode Rods act as a "sacrificial" component that attracts corrosive elements to prevent them from eating your tank's lining. In Middlesex County, we recommend inspecting these every 2–3 years. Replacing a depleted rod is a small investment that can effectively double the lifespan of your water heater.

Is it worth repairing an old water heater or should I replace it?

If your unit is over 10 years old and experiencing major issues like a leaking tank, replacement is usually the better long-term value. However, if the problem is a faulty Heating Element or a broken Thermostat, our professional repair services in Belmont can often restore your unit to full performance for a fraction of the cost.

Why did Akian Plumbing install an expansion tank with my new heater?

Expansion Tanks are critical safety devices required by code in many areas. They handle the pressure created when water expands as it heats up, preventing damage to your plumbing fixtures and preventing the Pressure Relief Valves from constantly dripping or failing prematurely.
