My Mitsubishi system wasn't responsive and I couldn't figure out the problem. Carlos from Akian came through and checked it out. We found out the breaker was the issue. They got an electrician on site and replaced the breaker within an hour. Carlos also ran a diagnostic and got my system running perfectly. Great communication and follow through. Definitely reccomend.

Very happy with the service. The plumber arrived on time, explained everything that would be done and approximately how long it would take. He was very courteous and put a tarp down and wore shoe coverings while working. I will definitely use this company again.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furnace or heating system needs a professional repair?

Common warning signs include unusual noises (banging or whistling), a sudden spike in energy bills, or the system frequently cycling on and off. If your home has cold spots or the air feels lukewarm, it’s time to call a licensed technician. At Akian, we provide expert heating diagnostics in Watertown to catch small issues before they lead to a total system failure during a New England winter.

Why is my air conditioner running but not cooling my home?

This is often caused by a dirty air filter, a blocked condensate drain line, or low refrigerant levels. Restricted airflow forces your AC to work harder without lowering the temperature. We recommend seasonal AC tune-ups to ensure your evaporator coils are clean and your system is charged, which prevents ice buildup and extends the life of your unit.

When should I consider an electrical panel upgrade for my home?

You should consider an upgrade if you frequently trip breakers, use multiple power strips to manage appliances, or still have an old fuse box. Modern homes require more power for HVAC systems and EV chargers. Upgrading to a 200-amp service ensures your home remains safe, meets current electrical codes, and can handle the load of modern high-efficiency equipment.

What should I do in a plumbing emergency like a burst pipe or severe leak?

First, immediately turn off your main water shut-off valve to prevent water damage. Once the water is off, contact a 24/7 emergency plumber. Akian Plumbing offers rapid-response emergency services in the Greater Boston area. Our licensed team can quickly locate the source of the leak and provide a same-day fix to protect your home’s structure and your belongings.

What is the difference between a standard boiler and a high-efficiency combination unit?

A traditional boiler focuses solely on heating your home via radiators or baseboards. A high-efficiency "combi" boiler provides both whole-home heating and on-demand hot water from a single, compact wall-mounted unit. These systems can reach up to 98% efficiency, significantly lowering fuel consumption compared to older cast-iron models.

Is it worth switching from an oil furnace to a high-efficiency heat pump?

Yes, especially with current federal tax credits and local rebates available through 2025. Cold-climate heat pumps provide highly efficient heating and cooling, reducing your carbon footprint and eliminating the need for fuel deliveries. Our team specializes in sizing and installing these systems to ensure they perform reliably even in sub-zero temperatures.

How often should I replace my AC filters, and why does it matter for my system's performance?

You should check your filters every 30–90 days. Clean filters are the #1 way to prevent "frozen evaporator coils,"
