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.

Navigating Your Options for a System Upgrade

Selecting a replacement system involves more than just picking a brand; it’s about aligning technology with your daily routines. We help you evaluate the technical advantages of today’s most popular units to ensure a perfect fit for your lifestyle.

Upgrading to Tankless Water Heaters transforms your home into a sanctuary of efficiency, providing on demand warmth that never runs dry, regardless of how many appliances are running. These systems are particularly favored in the Greater Massachusetts Area for their compact footprints and their ability to drastically lower monthly fuel consumption by only heating water when a tap is turned.

Our Heat Pump Water Heaters utilize a hybrid approach, drawing warmth from the surrounding air to heat your water with roughly three times the efficiency of standard electric models. This makes them a premier choice for Brookline residents who are environmentally conscious and eager to see significant reductions in their long-term utility expenditures.

Traditional Tank Water Heaters remain a reliable staple for many large families, offering a steady reservoir of pre-heated water that is ready to handle high-demand mornings. Whether your home is better suited for the rapid recovery of Gas Water Heaters or the straightforward installation of Electric Water Heaters, we guarantee a precision setup that prioritizes safety and durability.

Precision Maintenance for Specialized Heating Elements

For Brookline homes utilizing Electric Water Heaters, the internal mechanics rely heavily on the integrity of their Heating Elements. Over time, even the highest quality elements can succumb to sediment buildup or electrical fatigue, leading to inconsistent temperatures or a total lack of hot water. Our repair philosophy focuses on accurate diagnostics rather than guesswork. By testing the continuity of your elements and thermostats, we can often perform a targeted part replacement that avoids the necessity of a full system overhaul. This approach keeps your repair costs manageable while ensuring your unit operates at its maximum design efficiency.

Managing Thermal Stress with Advanced Safety Gear

Modern plumbing codes in Suffolk County emphasize the importance of managing the physical forces generated by heating water. As temperatures rise, the resulting thermal expansion can create significant stress on your pipes and the water heater itself. To prevent this, we integrate high-durability Expansion Tanks into every new installation. These tanks act as a pressure-balancing reservoir, preventing the frequent dripping of Pressure Relief Valves and protecting your home from the potential of a catastrophic pipe failure. By addressing these safety points during the installation phase, we ensure your system remains code-compliant and secure.

Safeguarding Your Infrastructure with Anode Rod Replacement

One of the most effective ways to prevent a tank from leaking prematurely is to monitor the condition of its Anode Rods. These sacrificial components are designed to attract the corrosive elements in the water supply, allowing the rod to rust away so that the steel tank lining remains untouched. Because the water chemistry can vary across the Greater Massachusetts Area, we recommend regular inspections of this “sacrificial” part. Replacing a depleted rod is a small, inexpensive task that can add years to the lifespan of your unit, protecting your basement from water damage and saving you from the cost of early equipment replacement.

Ensuring Safety Through Compliant Gas Venting Systems

When installing or repairing Gas Water Heaters, the safe management of combustion byproducts is our absolute priority. Proper Vent Pipes / Venting Systems are essential for moving carbon monoxide and other exhaust gases safely out of your living space. In many Brookline homes, older masonry chimneys may no longer meet the requirements for high-efficiency modern units. We specialize in retrofitting advanced PVC power-venting or stainless steel direct-vent systems that ensure your home is not only warm but perfectly safe. Our team meticulously seals and slants every vent run to meet the most stringent local safety standards.

Elevating Daily Convenience with Smart Circulation

If your Brookline home features a layout where the water heater is far from the master suite or kitchen, you’ve likely experienced the frustration of waiting for hot water to arrive. We can resolve this permanently through the installation of Recirculation Pumps. This technology maintains a constant loop of tempered water right at the fixture, providing instant warmth the moment you engage the tap. This upgrade is increasingly popular in Middlesex County because it pairs the luxury of immediate comfort with a commitment to water conservation, ending the waste of thousands of gallons of cold water every single year. At Akian, we are dedicated to making your home’s infrastructure work smarter for you.

With years of experience in providing comprehensive water management solutions, our team leverages expert knowledge in chemical balance and corrosion prevention techniques tailored to local conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does it take so long for hot water to reach my Brookline bathroom?

This is usually due to the distance between your water heater and the fixture. We can install Recirculation Pumps that maintain a constant loop of hot water throughout your home, providing instantaneous warmth at the tap and ending the waste of cold water in Suffolk County.

Can I switch from an electric tank to a gas tankless water heater?

Yes, many Brookline homeowners make this transition for endless hot water on demand. Our team handles the necessary upgrades for Gas Water Heaters, including new Vent Pipes / Venting Systems and gas line modifications to ensure your new tankless unit performs safely and efficiently.

Why is my water heater's pressure relief valve constantly dripping?

A dripping Pressure Relief Valve often signals excessive thermal expansion within your plumbing. We resolve this by installing Expansion Tanks, which absorb the added volume as water heats up, protecting your system and preventing the valve from discharging unnecessarily.

How do I know if my electric heating elements are failing?

If you notice lukewarm water or the hot water runs out much faster than usual, one of your Heating Elements may have burnt out. We provide expert diagnostics and targeted repairs for Electric Water Heaters across the Greater Massachusetts Area to restore your comfort without a full replacement.

What is the benefit of checking the anode rod in my water tank?

Anode Rods act as a sacrificial barrier against corrosion; they rust so your tank doesn't. Regular inspections and timely replacements prevent the internal steel from deteriorating, which is the most effective way to avoid catastrophic tank leaks in Middlesex County.
