    I am extremely satisfied with the service your engineer James G. Provided. He is very courteous and knowledgeable. He is very good in identifying the problem and find the best way to resolve it.This is my second review. Today, I would like to acknowledge Maryann O. She is a wonderful person and a great specialist. On December 23,2024 she finally made all necessary modifications to our ducts, removed dampers, reopened a couple of holes to provide adequate air flow, and our heating system began to breathe and no longer short cycles. Thank you, Maryann! We wish you and all hardworking people at Akian Plumbing a Happy and Healthy New Year!

    Our apartment has long suffered from a lack of hot water supply; every time hot air is released, it causes the water to become so cold that the water heater sends out false alarms. Weve consulted several companies before, but while plumbers have been able to make temporary repairs, they havent solved the problem once and for all. This has become a major pain point in our lives. Evan at Akian quickly helped us rearrange the plumbing layout and add a backflow prevention structure. Not only is the hot water temperature now elevated without waiting, but we can also take a shower on a cold winter day with heat. I am planning to call Evan to solve similar problems in my home, such as a debris churn and a clogged sink.

    Uri from Akian was professional, considerate, and very knowledgeable both before and during his visit to my home yesterday. He was courteous enough to keep us posted by text as the time of appointment was near. At my hone he carefully installed a new sink and thoroughly explained and demonstrated some important features. He then generously took the time to install a Nest thermostat and patiently help me through the activation process. I would seek service from Akian in the future because of him and am grateful for his help!

    Excellent service and quality work done exactly as promised. Weve had Akian come out a couple of times for maintenance and minor repairs and theyve always done an amazing job. Their quote and scheduling process is straight-forward and they do a great job communicating. For our last repair, Uriel was our technician and he was great. Would recommend Akian for any HVAC needs.

    Akian came to help fix an issue with our heating system. The specialist we worked with, Dom, was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and fixed the heating issue quickly. He is passionate about what he does, and I really appreciate him putting on shoe covers when walking around the house. We are thinking of engaging Akian for our other home needs based on our pleasant experience, and hope to work with Dom again in the future!

    Excellent, professional service of gas boiler and gas hot water heater by James G. and his assistant Berkeley. A full days work. The heating system now seems much more efficient, keeping us warm at lower temperature setting.

  • Review 7 (2024-10-04 - Rating: 5)

    I called Akian for work on an old boiler. James was terrificā€”professional, informative, and friendly. He did an estimate for the work, clearly explained the options, and scheduled a prompt service visit for the chosen work. Thoroughly walked me through the work upon completion and clearly answered all questions. The system has since been working great; the problem which led to my call has vanished. Great job!

    I had a great experience working with Uriel. He was incredibly professional, thorough, and attentive. Uriel took the time to patiently explain all my questions and concerns, which made the entire process much easier to understand. After completing the work, he ensured the area was cleaned up perfectly.

  • Review 9 (2024-07-26 - Rating: 5)

    We are thoroughly impressed with our entire experience. From scheduling, to multiple notifications about our engineerā€™s arrival, to photos and background info of our engineer prior to arrival Akianā€™s professional touch made our experience very comfortable.Following our initial consultation our unit was serviced by Dominic who was not only knowledgeable and thorough but also courteous, professional and sadly in our case (thanks to a rat in our compressor) sympathetic. Dominicā€™s explanation of his process along the way complete with 4 point solution summary was clear and easy to understand. It was awesome to have someone with both technical and people skills and as a result we feel very confident recommending Dominic and Akian to others.

    Akianā€™s engineer, Manny, figured out where the problem that disabled my furnace was by testing many parts and calling the office for consultation. Then he kept testing and found a second damaged part. He explained the situation to me clearly. He was polite and cordial.The Akian engineers who fixed my furnace, Phil and Marianne, were skillful and respectful. They answered all my questions without seeming to consider this chore a chore. It was a pleasure to meet them.

  • Review 12 (2024-09-27 - Rating: 5)

    I was very impressed with Akian Plumbing. Our technician, James, was professional and took the time to clearly explain our options for addressing an issue with our Hot water system. After we agreed on the price, James arrived two days later with all of the replacement parts and equipment to repair our system. I have had other companies service our system before, but Ive never seen anyone completely dismantle the system, clean and replace all the damaged parts. James was incredibly thorough and I was exceedingly impressed with his work.

    Akian installed a Minisplit system in my home. The workmanship was excellent. The installation was great. The installers cleaned up carefully and instructed me In how to use the system. Manny also came back to fix a problem I had. He was professional and thorough. I highly recommend this company for consultation and installation of a Minisplit system

    Cant speak highly enough of Akian Plumbing. Our boiler went out unexpectedly right before Thanksgiving. Replacement options were clear, the price reasonable, and the install scheduled for the next day. Most impressively, Jimmy O, Justin W, and Jess L. worked late into the evening on Wednesday to ensure that we had heat and hot water before the long holiday weekend. Thanks Akian!

    Akian plumbing had great communications and kept us up to date on the project. The technicians George A. and Evan were great. We shared a few laughs, and they informed me somethings I did not know about our heating system. Great team! Will have them service my furnace again! Thanks, Akian!

    Repeat customer very satisfied with Akian! The technician Dom was very knowledgeable, correctly diagnosed the problem with our heating system (even identified a couple other minor issues that the previous company missed) and provided great pointers on preventative maintenance going forward.

  • Review 19 (2024-09-19 - Rating: 5)

    We have used Akian regularly over the past 4 years and have found their technicians to be very professional, efficient, and helpful. Evan came to perform maintenance for our water tank and took extra time to explain what he did and show us how to maintain the system on our own . Highly recommend Evan and Akian.

  • Review 20 (2024-10-18 - Rating: 5)

    We were impressed with Akian. The installers were thorough and careful, and they cleaned up at the end of each day. Each step of the process was communicated clearly to us, including any changes that needed to be made. The system appears to be working well.

  • Review 21 (2024-07-10 - Rating: 5)

    We scheduled an annual maintenance on our boiler system with Akian Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning. It was a great experience with Domenic. He was very fun and outgoing. He told me upfront how long the maintenance would take (in our case >2hr) and thoroughly explained his findings afterwards with pictures. It was very helpful as I am not familiar with all the parts of the boiler system. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions. He even cleaned the cobwebs around my boiler system. I would highly recommend the company and Domenic!

    James G. came to our home to consult on a leak from our AC unit. He was timely, professional, and very polite. After reviewing the issue he gave us some clear recommendations for how to repair it and was honest and set clear expectations about the work. We appreciated his efficiency and getting the work done and his recommendations for future updates to improve our system.

  • Review 24 (2024-07-27 - Rating: 5)

    My Mitsubishi Mr. slim quit in the middle of a heat wave. A number of AC firms told me I was out of luck for service.Akian was able to service me within a few days. After I booked an appointment, they called to say they had a cancellation and the possibility to see me that very day. Their AC technicians showed up and politely and quickly restored my unit to functionality. In the course of the repair it became evident that my exterior drain line needed to be redone and they were able to schedule that also within a week and a half. I give them five stars for responsiveness and technical competence. Highly recommended.

  • Review 25 (2024-12-26 - Rating: 5)

    I have found my forever plumber! I am a consultant in service quality, and my experience with Akian is a best case example. They were responsive to my concerns, provided timely service and Dominic was professional, courteous and fast. It is rare to find such high standards and so I most highly recommend Akian.

  • Review 27 (2024-07-23 - Rating: 5)

    Akian Plumbing offers excellent service and very knowledgeable technicians. George is the only person in 2 years of dealing with a defective water sensor/timer on a washer, who was able to to figure out the problem and replace it in under an hour. There were at least three other plumbers were happy to take our money but couldnt fix it. I am truly grateful to not have to deal with the headache of the sensor going off every time I did a load of laundry. Im very grateful to George and highly recommend Akian Plumbing.

    I called Akian to diagnose a water leak in a system they had installed for us a few years ago. James from Akian was professional and knowledgeable. He diagnosed the issue quickly as a coolant leak and the visit was free as we were covered by the warranty from the last repair. Still waiting for the final diagnosis of the leak itself, but James was a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend.

    I recently had a wonderful experience with Akian Plumbing and felt compelled to share. They were initially on-site replacing my neighbors gas line, which happened to be a service I needed as well. Seizing the opportunity, I inquired if they could handle mine too. With a quick call to their office, I was scheduled for the same day.Uri and Bill, the technicians who arrived, were fantastic. Their professionalism and courtesy were evident from the start. They efficiently and skillfully replaced my gas line, ensuring everything was done to the highest standards.I am thoroughly impressed with the service provided by Akian Plumbing and will gladly recommend them to any of my clients in need of a reliable plumber.

    Akian Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning has been meeting my plumbing needs for excellent service for years. Most recently, Manny responded to a request for a problem evaluation for one of my toilets and was extremely thorough. He offered to return if an actual repair were necessary. Much to my surprise the problem appeared to correct itself a few days later. I was torn between cancelling an additional visit or having the issue examined more thoroughly. George A. arrived to follow up, located the issue, replaced a part and was finished in about 45 minutes. The repair was a success. Thank you, Akian!!

    Akian replaced my furnace and hot water tank with a high-efficiency boiler. Steve, the owner, gets personally involved at the front-end as well as inspecting the work as it was progressing. He spent a lot of time talking me through my options and answering my question. I never felt pressured. His team is also very professional with good communication throughout the project. They also use the latest technology to keep things organized and professional (like processing the contract via DocuSign). They are also great when things go wrong. The unit they first installed malfunctioned due to a manufacturing issue. The Akian team was able to secure a replacement unit the next day to finish the job as quickly as possible. The quality of the job was fantastic. Just look at the pictures. It is a piece of art. And they left everything in very clean condition. I would use Akian again.

    I used Akian plumbing about 24 years ago and when I called after this long, It was still very easy to make an appointment, although, due to their busy schedule I had to wait for few days. Their tech arrived on time. He listened to our concerns, and what we wanted, he took his time, and provided us with couple options, we took the first option which was more money but was more realistic and better for long term. I will recommend Akian Plumbing.

    During the detailed maintenance by Manny, it was determined that the water heater needed to be replaced immediately. We were very concerned about the installation after finding out about the risk of the units leaking carbon monoxide. Mardy, who has become a friend of the family, was extremely generous with his time. He educated and reassured us about the choices and process. We are so impressed by his knowledge and care. Even Steve, the owner, got involved in the process. Friday morning Uri arrived on time to install the new unit. He was very nice and efficient. He did a great job, answered all my questions, educated me about the installation and even replaced two smoke and CO detectors for new ones at my request, just in case. We truly appreciate the entire team kindness and willingness to help! Amazing Company! We felt treated like family! Thank you so much everybody!

And he efficiently made the necessary adjustments and repairs.On top of this, he is friendly and very polite. I highly recommend Antonio as a wonderful HVAC technician.

    Recently had Akian install a new heat pump and hot water heater. After looking at a few companies for sale and installation, this one was definitely the right choice, including a competitive price. Super responsive communication from Mike (sales) and Merrissa (coordinator). The core team (Jonathan, Derek, Aaron and Sam) were both efficient and respectful of our property. The whole job was less than a week. Definitely recommended for your heat pump project.

    Akian installed a new A/C unit in our attic. It look a little longer than expected, because of a loose wire in the unit, but they got the job done. They even asked for our preferences in terms of exact positioning of the unit. The A/C works perfectly and we are pleased with the professionalism of the installers.

    Akian has always had good customer service. This past time George A. came to replace a toilet that was not working. He explained everything and gave us our options. Although a bit expensive, we went with Akian because George was a straight shooter. He came 2 days later and installed 1 toilet and fixed another one that was wobbly. He worked hard and I feel very taken care of. Thank you George and Akian.

    Akian (Imara, Greg, and Chichi) did a great job installing our new AC system. They not only installed the system but took extraordinary care no avoid the need to open up a wall to do it. This required them to be creative and diligent, but they did it. We are very happy with the service we received from them.

    I had a water heater self terminate and it was time for a new one. Chris, Carlos, and Phil were all great- very professional, took the time to explain, in detail, each part of the diagnosis, next possible steps, and recommendations to replace. I requested a new unit and install and they were able to action the request on the spot and completed the work quickly and efficiently. The new unit and the work completed around it (pipes, fittings, overall cleanliness after removal of old unit and cleanup of packaging new unit came in) look great, it works well, and they got the warranty activated and connected to my email. Wonderful team, great to work with.

  • Review 84 (2024-09-12 - Rating: 5)

    Great experience with them! Had a 17 year old central AC system that was dying -- still worked, but cost a fortune to run, and the condenser coil sounded like a transport helicopter landing every time it started up. It took a little while for all the parts to come and to match schedules, which meant that the new system unfortunately ended up getting installed during a heat wave. The 5 stars were really earned by the technician Zach, who did a hell of a job keeping me informed and up to date while working in a brutally hot crawlspace.The one thing that Id ding Akian maybe 1/4 of a star on is that they should probably budget a bit of extra time for contingency . At my house, they hit a couple of issues that required extra time to work around, which meant the job took longer than estimated. Not a huge deal, but I think the initial two-day estimate was a little too optimistic. Thats a minor ding, though; everything else was great. Definitely recommended.UPDATE: When the nearly 100-year old pipes in my house started leaking, I decided to go with Akian again to evaluate the situation. They helped me understand the spaghetti of drain lines in my 2-family house, located the likely source of the leak, and made a recommendation for a repair which was in my budget. Once the work got started, Chris and Jimmy drilled down and got it done. When it became clear the work would spill into a second day (they needed to get a part from a warehouse), they adjusted the plans for day 1 so that my family could use water that evening. They then blasted through on day 2 and got everything working perfectly. The basement is bone dry now, much to my delight. Very very happy with the work, and especially with the Akian technicians -- they were great. Id like to post this as a second 5-star review, but cant figure out how to do that, so just take this as supporting my older 5 star review.

I also love that Akian puts on shoe-covers when entering your house.

  • Review 93 (2021-07-11 - Rating: 5)

    Originally, there was a bit of a scheduling mix-up, but Steve Akian, the owner of the business, made everything right and then some through outstanding service from himself and his colleague Antonio. They did a thorough tune-up and maintenance of two Central AC units for a single family home -- two units that had been somewhat neglected (and poorly serviced by other providers) for the past several years, with one of the units severely challenged with low refrigerant and a capacitor issue. Given that the units are only ~7 years old, and with the comprehensive servicing performed by Antonio, I can envision these units going another 10-15 years, with annual maintenance. I will be sure to use Akian for our annual maintenance going forward to prevent future issuesMost impressively, our outdoor condenser units are now shining, with Steve and Antonio taking the time to thoroughly scrub these units inside and out, including taking the covers of the units off and cleaning out built-up debris and leaves.

    Chris C was our plumber, when we had major leaking from the condo above us. He responded right away and investigated the situation and told us what we needed to do to fix the situation. He got to work right away and worked on all three condos in our building and replaced the pipes that run from the third floor to the basement. What was really amazing was that he left our kitchen floor and dining room floors so clean and spotless. We are planning a oil to gas conversion and will be using Akian for the job and will request Chris. We are very satisfied customers and highly recommend

They were always on time, professional and fantastic on timely calls for any questions or concerns we had. Their pricing was competitive for such a large project. We are very happy with the results of this project and our new heating system which is much more efficient!

    I called Akian to see if they could send anyone to check my furnace. Weve had no heat for days. Thankfully, they were able to squeeze us in to diagnose the problem. Phil and Berkley came and were absolutely fantastic to work with. Polite handshake introductions and explanations during every step. They carry an iPad and begin with creating a customer profile with pictures of your equipment uploaded to your profile. Everything is documented carefully. At the end Phil sat down with me and explained exactly what he found. He created a few scenarios with prices depending on how we wanted to proceed. When we mentioned a possible warranty he immediately looked up the serial # on the vendor website to show me if we had a warranty in place. They dont handle warranty work BUT he still took the time to look for us. I have recommended them to 2 neighbors who will need plumbing work soon. I dont usually give out 5 star reviews but Phil and Berkley earned it!

They sent out James and Ray, who were so nice and professional, who tried everything to get it working but unfortunately something was burnt out and they could not get it working. They gave me my options of fixing it or replacing the old system. I went with replacing the system. In the meantime Akian sent over 4 space heaters to help keep house warm!!

I found Akian while looking for a local company with good online reviews. I was very impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of the Akian team. Installing a new HVAC in an old house is like a heart-transplant and I wanted to hire the right company. Akian made the entire process a breeze. Not only did they provide excellent installation, but theyā€™ve stood behind their work and provided support/service beyond installation.My one-year maintenance was performed by Phill, an expert technician in HVACs and a wealth of knowledge.

(Its apparently company policy to bring mask, gloves, and shoe coverings so as to respect the space.)I was informed and educated about my options for maintenance, which was made more complicated by the condos previous owner placing the HVAC unit in a place where the wall obscures the service panel, and given a thorough proposal of what can be done in this challenging case.The quotes seemed reasonable and the call out fee was extremely competitive.

    Akian did a great job installing my new water heater. After setting up the service with Naomi and Evan R.--both of whom were very pleasant to work with, were exceptionally responsive to my needs and requests--I worked mostly with Tara, George and Dominic. Tara handled the administrative tasks amazingly efficiently and thoroughly. She was very helpful around my multiple scheduling needs---getting the new water heater installed when i had very little free time before I went on vacation, for example. Meanwhile, George and Dominic installed the water heater. Besides being courteous and accommodating, they knew their stuff. They put in a better brand heater than I have had the the past, explained its features and workings, and cleaned up thoroughly. They too were very agreeable and a pleasure to work with. All in all, Akian left me feeling that I was in good hands. In my view, Akian is a well-run professional company that I will use again, should a need arise.

Thankfully Akian had availability the same day we called, our technician Orlando was very professional and explained every step of the process along the way. He was very detailed and told us exactly what he was going to do and what he was finding so we were well informed, and made sure to ask before he did anything. He was very friendly and knowledgeable, and got our AC back up and running in a couple hours which we were so thankful for! Their scheduling department was also very easy to work with, they are all responsive and made the entire process smooth. Orlando had to come twice and both times he came during the beginning of the 4 hr time frame that was given to us, once he even came a bit earlier. Would definitely recommend.

    Akain Plumbing were great! They were extremely responsive from the first call to when Manny arrived at our door. I particularly like when they sent me a text/email with who will be arriving to fix our problem, it included a picture and a bit of personal info about the technician. That was above and beyond and very much appreciate. Manny arrived and was able to identified the issue and resolve it! Akian is at the top of our list when we need a plumber! I recommend them 100%.

    I met with Mike today to get prices on multiple heating /cooling systems from mini splits to central air for multiple units. He couldnā€™t have been more knowledgeable more polite. Explained all my options clearly. And Answered all my many questions. This is a very well run company. Constantly keeps you in the loop on scheduling. Couldnā€™t be more impressed.

    I have a great experience with Akinsā€™s service for my AC system. Making an appointment was easy and timely. The technician James arrived my home very quickly on the same day. James was very pleasant and professional. In addition to identifying the problem immediately (a clogged drain pipe in my AC handler), he carefully examined the whole system to be sure there are no other issues. He is very knowledgeable and skilled, explained to me very clearly and gave good suggestions. He fixed the problem very efficiently. The job was done clean and neat. I will use Akianā€™s service again.

    I was really happy with Akian! We needed our mini split system replacing. The sales team did a great job evaluating our options (with some good prices), and when we committed to getting the work done, the entire job was not just started but completed within the same week. The team at the house were really professional, did a good looking job and took the time to test to make sure that everything worked as it should and explained what we needed to do. I would totally use them again, should one of our other systems need repair/replacement.

    James was wonderful! He was early and called before showing up. Very polite and explained all my options. I loved that I got a text with his picture and a bio prior to the appointment. I would definitely recommend this company.

    Great experience working with them on an AC maintenance and inspection from scheduling all the way to job done. Aizza was prompt and courteous in coordinating the service for my tenant, Orlando R was really great, patient, professional and explained everything in detail. He followed up during every step of the way. Pricing was fantastic compared to other companies. I would gladly hire them again.

    Dominic was great, super efficient, kind hearted, and did a wonderful job servicing our HVAC and Water heater. We cant thank the entire Akian team enough for their quick assistance in getting these things done prior to our move. Check them out for all plumbing and HVAC items in Boston! They rock!

    Uri, Jessica, and everyone Iā€™ve interacted with at Akian Plumbing are great. Very responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. Theyā€™ve handled several issues for us from a leaking sink to a faulty tankless water heater. Theyā€™re our go to for all plumbing issues.

    A very nice Akian technician named Uriel came within an hour of my initial call to the office. He was obviously very capable, very polite, organized and efficient. He replaced broken valves under the kitchen sink.He thoroughly checked his work and cleaned up before he left. He gave me a good advice on how to maintain the pipes clean. The office communicates with texting so one knows exactly when the technician will be dispatched.This happened today, on Monday - Presidents day, when some other businesses are closed.After dealing with another company that did not show up and delayed further appointments, this was a treat!

    JAMES G. Was terrific! He figured out what went wrong with my new thermostat after it was clear the thermostat wasnt controlling the cooling. JAMES was able to figure out what needed to be done to cool my apartment!! šŸ˜‚

    Uri and his coworker were very pleasant workers who care very much about their work. They not only went above and beyond what was expected, they actually did services they didnā€™t have to do and cleaned up perfectly after their work was done. Top of the line workers.

    James and Berkely of Akian Plumbing came out and did some work on the heating part of our HVAC this past week as a follow-up to an annual HVAC maintenance visit. During the first visit, James inspected the unit and explained everything very clearly and with pictures. The proposed services and repairs documents came quickly and were what James had suggested with nothing snuck-in by the office folks.As the unit is 20 years old, some work was needed and again James and Berkely were quick and professional with excellent communication about arrival times and how the work was progressing. Before and after photos were taken for our records and everything was left clean and tidy after the work was completed.James and Berkely have earned Akian a long-term customer with their focus on communication and client education.

    Had problems with my two first floor water faucets. George A. from Akian Plumbing came and assessed the situation. He provided me with many replacement options.When he returned, he did the work efficiently and with good cheer which included being friendly with my dog who barked incessantly. Recommend him highly.

  • Review 161 (2023-02-16 - Rating: 5)

    Akian service was extremely efficient and easy to use. Needed a drastic clog fixed in both the sink and shower, as well as a new tub overflow lever as the old one broke. From setting up the appointment to payment at the end, it was extremely easy and well worth it. My technician, Uriel, was fantastic. His explanation of the problems and quick analysis was very good, and his service the day of repair was quick, clean, and even walked through post repair function to show the difference. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area

    I reached out the three different HVAC companies for repair/maintenance on a mini split unit. These guys let me schedule online, sent follow up texts, picked up the phone when I called and came out at the scheduled time. They sent a photo of the tech standing in front of his van before the appointment so I would know who was coming.The tech was professional, helpful and fast. The pricing was transparent and they gave me several options. I received a call from the owner after the service to follow up on possibly replacing my unit down the road.Iā€™m impressed, will use them again.

    Antonio the technician was very thorough in inspecting the A/C system and took time explaining his findings. He addressed my questions and provided advice on optimizing the A/C performance. He was very professional, courteous, caring, and personable. Jeremy from Akian Customer Care was also excellent in scheduling and coordinating the appointment. He kept me informed throughout the entire process.

    I called Akian Plumbing because we were having problems with a bathroom in my attic which is a room someone will be living in. The toilet and the sink were both having problems. The toilet was not flushing and the sink had a broken faucet as well as a broken clogger. George A. Came and spent a couple of hours at least and fixed everything. He figured out the issues that were causing the problems and repaired them! I am very happy. That bathroom was not functioning for at least a year or more and he repaired everything! I am very grateful! Cynthia Kohn

    We had Akian come in and install a new water tank. The plumber who came in was Jessica L. She did a fantastic job. She worked alone but was efficient and did a very thorough job. She was very professional and even made sure she cleaned up before she left. She was very attentive to our questions on water pressure and did everything to make sure her service was of high quality. We would surely be returning to Akian because of Jessicaā€™s work.

    Phil O. visited my place to diagnose some noise issue with my heating system. He walked me through all the examinations that he made and answered to my question clearly. He shared his professional opinions and findings in detail. He proposed the best solution that we can happily take. I am happy with his service and expecting that the installation process will go smoothly (1/10/2023).The heating unit has been replaced with the new unit together with the exhaust pipe. Ray and George, two engineers came to my place for the installation.They explained detail how to and what to be done. They are professional and thorough. I am happy with their services and dedication to the work (1/13/2023).

    A nice young man named Evan came and handled my pipes very well, they were quite clogged with years of build up. He was very smart, polite and efficient. He cleaned my pipes and made sure they worked great before he left. The office he works out of was amazing, from the minute i booked the job to the minute i paid i had clear communication with text alerts and i had no doubt in my mind i was getting a great value. Evan with Akian Plumbing is my hero and i wont ever use anyone else.

    These guys are awesome - James and Barry did a wonderful job identifying the issue with my [formerly] broken AC and getting it fixed as soon as they could. I really appreciate their honesty and thoroughness. Evan was also super helpful in providing a maintenance inspection for me and letting me know the next steps. All very friendly, would recommend 10/10.

    I rarely take the time write google reviews but my experience with Akian, particularly with Arielle Coutard, the face of the company was exceptional. I had to go to the Board of Health to get some complicated plumbing and legal issues resolved prior to an upcoming inspection. My Brookline plumber retired and somehow I magically landed in Akianā€™s office. I was greeted by Arielle who in minutes created a meeting with a few other plumbers and quickly resolved my issues without skipping a beat. Her commitment and competence to help me was apparent, discussing the best angle to approach my issues, referring me to a moisture and mold expert and receiving expert input from her plumbers. I was in awe of Arielleā€™s professionalism and the kindness she extended. I spent a great deal of time with her and her team and was not charged a dime!

    Uri arrived and immediately had a professional, but friendly demeanor. He assessed the problem and called in so he could fix it today! He updated our bathroom and kitchen metal valves to 1/4 turn shut offs as one old one was broken and began leaking. He also quickly fixed our bathroom drain that has been unlatched since we moved in three years ago. He cleaned up thoroughly and checked to make sure everything was in working order. We couldnā€™t be more pleased! We will call Akian again if we are ever in need of service. Thanks Uri!
