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.

Tailored Hot Water Strategies for Burlington Residents

Selecting a new system is a major decision for any household in Suffolk County. We focus on providing high-performance equipment that balances immediate comfort with long-term durability and lower operating costs.

Switching to Tankless Water Heaters allows you to enjoy on demand heating that never runs out, regardless of how many people are using the water simultaneously. These units are exceptionally popular in the Greater Massachusetts Area because they only consume energy when the faucet is turned on, significantly reducing monthly overhead.

Our Heat Pump Water Heaters are designed to pull heat from the surrounding air to warm your tank, offering a high-efficiency alternative to traditional methods. It is an innovative way for Burlington homeowners to achieve superior performance while significantly lowering their carbon footprint and overall energy expenditure.

Traditional Tank Water Heaters offer a proven method for storing large volumes of hot water, making them ideal for high-demand households. Whether you prefer the fast recovery cycles of Gas Water Heaters or the simple maintenance associated with Electric Water Heaters, our team provides expert sizing and seamless setup.

The Engineering of System Safety and Pressure Control

A reliable installation in Burlington goes far beyond just connecting pipes; it requires a deep understanding of thermal dynamics. As water heats up, it naturally expands, which can lead to “thermal expansion” stress throughout your home’s infrastructure. To protect your property, we meticulously install Expansion Tanks to provide a safe “overflow” zone for this pressure. Furthermore, we ensure that your Pressure Relief Valves are in perfect working order, acting as the ultimate fail-safe for your system. By prioritizing these safety components, we help prevent pipe fatigue and protect your new investment from the hidden dangers of high-pressure environments common in Middlesex County.

Advanced Diagnostic Techniques for Targeted Repairs

When a water heater begins to underperform, the problem is often localized to a specific, replaceable part rather than the entire unit. For instance, in many electric systems, sediment can coat the Heating Elements, causing them to overheat and eventually fail. In gas-powered units, obstructed Vent Pipes / Venting Systems can lead to safety shutdowns or inefficient combustion. Our technicians in Burlington utilize advanced diagnostics to pinpoint these exact issues, allowing us to perform surgical repairs that extend the life of your equipment. We aim to get your hot water back online with as little disruption as possible, focusing on high-quality component replacement over unnecessary full-system sales.

Combatting Corrosion with Proactive Maintenance

The greatest threat to a water heater’s lifespan is internal corrosion caused by mineral-rich water. To fight this, manufacturers include Anode Rods, which are designed to sacrifice themselves to oxidation so that your tank’s steel lining remains protected. For residents in the Greater Massachusetts Area, we provide essential maintenance services that include inspecting and replacing these rods before they are fully depleted. By combining this with a professional flush to clear out sediment that settles around the burner or elements, we can often double the life expectancy of a standard tank, ensuring you get the most value out of your plumbing system.

Enhancing Luxury with Instant-Heat Technology

Tired of running the tap for minutes before the water turns warm? We can solve this common Burlington frustration by installing high-performance Recirculation Pumps. These systems maintain a continuous loop of heated water through your lines, so the moment you open a valve, the water is already at your desired temperature. Not only does this add a touch of modern luxury to your master suite or kitchen, but it also saves thousands of gallons of water annually that would otherwise be wasted down the drain. It is one of the most effective ways to upgrade the functionality of your home while promoting a more sustainable lifestyle in Suffolk County.

Your Local Partner for Infrastructure Excellence

At Akian Plumbing, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of the trade for every neighbor we serve in Burlington. We understand that your home is your most significant investment, and your mechanical systems should reflect that value. From navigating the complex local codes regarding Vent Pipes / Venting Systems to advising on the best high-efficiency Heat Pump Water Heaters for our local climate, we provide a level of expertise that only a dedicated local team can offer. Our goal is to provide a stress-free experience from the initial consultation to the final safety check, ensuring that your home remains a place of comfort and reliability for years to come.

Maximize Your Water Heater’s Lifespan with Burlington’s Proven Maintenance Strategies

Homeowners in Burlington can significantly enhance the longevity and performance of their water heaters by adhering to systematic maintenance practices. With over a decade of experience in the plumbing industry, our expert team emphasizes routine inspections, regular flushing to eliminate sediment buildup, and timely repairs to prevent major breakdowns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there a long delay for hot water in my Burlington home?

This is a common issue caused by the distance water must travel from the heater to the fixture. We solve this by installing Recirculation Pumps, which keep warm water circulating in your pipes so you get heat the moment you turn on the tap, saving thousands of gallons of water annually.

What are the benefits of switching to a tankless water heater in Burlington?

Tankless Water Heaters provide endless hot water on demand, meaning you'll never run out during back-to-back showers. They are more energy-efficient than traditional tanks because they only heat water when needed, and their compact size is perfect for saving space in Middlesex County basements.

How does a heat pump water heater save money on my utility bills?

Heat Pump Water Heaters use electricity to move heat from the surrounding air into the tank rather than generating heat directly. This hybrid technology is incredibly efficient, often resulting in significant energy savings for homeowners throughout the Greater Massachusetts Area.

What is the purpose of an anode rod in my water heater?

The Anode Rod is a sacrificial safety component that attracts corrosive elements in the water. By rusting itself, it prevents those minerals from attacking the steel lining of your Tank Water Heater. Replacing this rod every few years is the best way to prevent tank leaks and extend the life of your system.

Do I really need an expansion tank with my water heater installation?

Yes, Expansion Tanks are essential safety features. As water heats and expands, it creates pressure that can damage your plumbing fixtures and pipes. The expansion tank absorbs this extra volume, protecting your Pressure Relief Valves and ensuring your system stays within safe operating limits.
