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.

Engineering Safety with Thermal Expansion Management

A professional installation in Stoneham requires a deep understanding of the physics within your plumbing. As water is heated, it undergoes thermal expansion, which can create dangerous pressure spikes in a closed-loop system. To mitigate this, we meticulously install Expansion Tanks that provide a safe relief zone for expanding water volume. This simple addition prevents premature wear on your pipes and protects your Pressure Relief Valves from unnecessary stress. By addressing these technical details during the installation phase, we safeguard your home against the silent damage caused by fluctuating internal pressures.

Restoring Performance Through Targeted Component Repair

When your water heater begins to underperform, it doesn’t always signal the need for a total replacement. In many Stoneham homes, the culprit is often a single failing part, such as worn-out Heating Elements in an electric unit or a build-up of debris in the Vent Pipes / Venting Systems of a gas model. Our technicians use precise diagnostic tools to identify these specific issues, allowing for surgical repairs that restore your unit to its original efficiency. We pride ourselves on transparent service, focusing on extending the life of your current equipment whenever possible through high-quality part replacement.

Proactive Maintenance and Corrosion Prevention

The longevity of a water heater in Middlesex County is largely determined by how well it is protected against internal oxidation. Every tank system relies on Anode Rods to act as a sacrificial barrier, attracting corrosive minerals that would otherwise eat through the steel tank lining. We provide comprehensive maintenance checks to inspect these rods and replace them before they are fully depleted. By combining this with periodic sediment flushing, we help Stoneham homeowners avoid the sudden, messy failure of a ruptured tank, ensuring your investment serves you reliably for its full expected lifespan.

Redefining Luxury with Instant Hot Water Access

There is no reason to waste water—or your time—waiting for the tap to turn warm in a distant bathroom. We specialize in the integration of Recirculation Pumps, which keep a constant supply of heated water moving through your home’s plumbing lines. This technology ensures that the moment you turn a handle, the water is already at your desired temperature. This is a popular upgrade in the Greater Massachusetts Area for those looking to combine high-end home luxury with a commitment to water conservation, effectively ending the waste of thousands of gallons of water per year.

Your Trusted Partner for Reliable Local Infrastructure

At Akian Plumbing, we are more than just contractors; we are members of the Stoneham community dedicated to keeping our neighbors’ homes safe and comfortable. We stay current on all local building codes and manufacturer specifications, particularly regarding the complex requirements for modern Vent Pipes / Venting Systems. From the initial consultation for a new Heat Pump Water Heater to the emergency repair of an old gas unit, we provide a level of care and expertise that only a local leader can offer. Trust us to ensure your home’s hot water system is efficient, safe, and ready to handle your family’s busiest mornings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth upgrading to a tankless water heater in Stoneham?

Absolutely. Tankless Water Heaters are highly popular in Middlesex County because they provide endless hot water heaters / on demand while freeing up floor space. Since they only heat water when needed, they significantly reduce energy costs compared to traditional models.

How does an expansion tank protect my Stoneham home's plumbing?

As water heats up, it expands. An Expansion Tank provides a safety zone for this extra volume, preventing high-pressure spikes that can damage your pipes and lead to leaks. This is a critical safety component for any modern Tank Water Heater installation.

Why is my electric water heater producing lukewarm water?

Lukewarm water is often a sign of a failing Heating Element or a faulty thermostat. In Suffolk County, mineral buildup can insulate these elements, causing them to burn out. We can quickly diagnose and replace these components to restore your hot water supply.

What is a sacrificial anode rod and why does it need replacing?

Anode Rods are designed to rust so your tank doesn't. They attract corrosive elements in the water to themselves. Replacing this rod every 3-5 years is the best way for homeowners in the Greater Massachusetts Area to prevent tank corrosion and expensive leaks.

How can I get hot water instantly without running the tap?

We can install Recirculation Pumps that keep hot water constantly moving through your plumbing lines. This ensures you get hot water the second you turn on the faucet, eliminating waste and providing a luxury experience in your Stoneham home.
