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.

Custom Hot Water Strategies for Every Lifestyle

Navigating the transition to a new system is easier when you have local experts in Middlesex County guiding the way. We focus on maximizing your home’s efficiency while ensuring your family always has access to the hot water they need.

Upgrading to Tankless Water Heaters allows you to experience the luxury of on demand heating that simply won’t run out. These compact systems are highly coveted in the Greater Massachusetts Area because they eliminate the standby energy loss associated with keeping a large tank hot 24/7, leading to significant utility savings.

Our Heat Pump Water Heaters are the ultimate choice for Dedham residents looking to reduce their environmental impact. By moving heat rather than generating it from scratch, these units operate with incredible efficiency, making them one of the smartest long-term investments for homeowners seeking to lower their monthly energy bills.

Classic Tank Water Heaters remain a dependable workhorse for many households, providing a steady, pre-heated supply of water. Whether you choose the rapid-fire recovery of Gas Water Heaters or the straightforward, clean operation of Electric Water Heaters, we provide professional sizing to ensure your tank matches your peak usage hours.

Protecting Your Pipes with Expansion and Pressure Management

In Dedham, a successful installation involves more than just a new tank; it requires a sophisticated approach to pressure regulation. Because water expands as its temperature rises, it can create a “closed loop” of intense pressure that threatens your home’s plumbing joints. To prevent this, we integrate high-quality Expansion Tanks into your system to absorb this thermal expansion safely. We also place a high priority on testing Pressure Relief Valves, ensuring they are ready to act as a critical fail-safe if internal pressure ever exceeds safe limits. This comprehensive approach to safety is why so many families in Suffolk County trust us to handle their most vital home infrastructure.

Precision Repairs for Electrical and Gas Components

When a water heater begins to fail, the issue is often a single component that has reached the end of its service life. In many local electric units, mineral scale can insulate the Heating Elements, causing them to burn out or make loud rumbling noises. For our gas-powered clients, we frequently address issues with Vent Pipes / Venting Systems, ensuring that combustion byproducts are being safely and efficiently ushered out of the home. Our diagnostic process in Dedham is designed to find these specific faults quickly, allowing us to perform targeted repairs that restore your hot water without the need for a total system overhaul.

Managing Tank Longevity Through Advanced Maintenance

The mineral content in our local water can be tough on steel tanks, but proactive care can stop corrosion in its tracks. Inside every storage unit, Anode Rods act as a “sacrificial” component, attracting corrosive elements to themselves so the tank walls don’t rust. We recommend a professional inspection of these rods every few years; a simple replacement can add years of life to your system. Combined with periodic tank flushing to remove sediment that can settle at the bottom, these maintenance steps represent the most effective way for homeowners in the Greater Massachusetts Area to protect their investment and avoid the mess of a ruptured tank.

Eliminating the Wait with Instant Access Technology

Waiting for hot water to travel from the basement to a third-floor bathroom is a common frustration that we can easily eliminate. By installing high-efficiency Recirculation Pumps, we can create a “loop” that keeps hot water primed and ready at every faucet in your Dedham home. This means no more running the tap for minutes just to get a warm basin of water. Not only does this add a significant level of convenience to your daily routine, but it also supports water conservation efforts in Middlesex County by preventing thousands of gallons of clean water from being wasted every year.

Dedham’s Partner in Long-Term Home Reliability

At Akian Plumbing, our commitment to Dedham goes beyond just fixing leaks; we aim to be your long-term partner in home comfort. We understand the specific architectural challenges of homes in Suffolk County, from historic properties requiring specialized Venting Systems to modern builds outfitted with Endless hot water heaters. Our team prides itself on transparent communication, exceptional craftsmanship, and a deep knowledge of the latest water heating technologies. Whether you are facing an emergency repair or looking to upgrade to a high-efficiency Heat Pump Water Heater, you can count on us to provide the expert guidance and professional service that keeps your household running smoothly.

Choose the Right Energy-Efficient Upgrade for Your Suffolk County Home: Heat Pump vs. Tankless System

In Suffolk County, homeowners face critical decisions when upgrading to energy-efficient systems, particularly between heat pumps and tankless water heaters. With over a decade of experience in the local energy market, we understand the unique climate challenges and energy costs that affect your choices. Heat pumps offer versatile heating and cooling solutions with impressive efficiency ratings, while tankless systems provide immediate hot water on demand, significantly reducing energy waste. Trust our expertise to guide you in making an informed decision that enhances comfort and reduces energy bills.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This is often due to the distance between your heater and the faucet. We can install Recirculation Pumps to keep warm water moving through your pipes, providing instant heat at the tap and significantly reducing water waste in your home.

Is a tankless water heater better for my home in Suffolk County?

Tankless Water Heaters are an excellent choice for those seeking endless hot water on demand. They are more energy-efficient than traditional tanks because they only heat water when needed, making them a top modern solution for families in the Greater Massachusetts Area.

How does an anode rod prevent my water heater from leaking?

The Anode Rod is a sacrificial component that attracts corrosive minerals, rusting away so your tank lining doesn't have to. Replacing a depleted rod every few years is one of the most effective ways to prevent tank failure and extend the life of your Tank Water Heater.

What is a heat pump water heater and is it energy efficient?

Heat Pump Water Heaters are hybrid units that move heat from the surrounding air into the water. They are incredibly efficient, often using 60% less energy than standard electric models, providing Dedham homeowners with significant long-term utility savings.

Why do I need an expansion tank with my water heater?

Expansion Tanks are safety devices that absorb the extra volume created when water expands as it heats up. This prevents high-pressure stress on your pipes and Pressure Relief Valves, ensuring your plumbing system remains safe and code-compliant.
