Heating and Plumbing for Kensington's Hillside Homes
Kensington's homes were largely built in the 1920s and 30s, and many still run on the original hydronic heating they were designed around. Tudors, Arts and Crafts cottages, and Mediterranean revivals along the steep streets each come with their own quirks, and the boilers and radiators inside them require a specialist who has seen it all before.

What Our Neighbors Are Saying
Excellent service! They answered all of my questions. They caught other things that we needed to fix. Fast response and finished the project quickly!
I was so impressed with Mniska/Afterglow's communication and professionalism. He explained everything in detail, made sure I understood the plan and went above and beyond with the work he did. It is hard to find someone you trust to do work in your home, especially someone with expertise in radiant heating systems. I am so fortunate to have found him and look forward to continuing to work with him.
When PG&E identified a gas leak at our property and shut off gas to our home, Mniska helped us to quickly identify a solution and then repair it quickly, professionally, and at a reasonable rate. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you!
Mniska found a leak that I did not know was there. He fixed it and showed me the pipe that had deteriorated. He goes above and beyond.
Mniska made some repairs to my hydronic heating system which have improved its performance. He's knowledgeable and takes obvious pride in his work. Will use again.
Mniska from Afterglow Heating did a fantastic job! He was quick to help us out, very communicative throughout the process, and clearly explained what he was checking and finding. He also gave us great recommendations on how to move forward with our broken water heater. Super professional, reliable, and easy to work with — I'd highly recommend him and Afterglow Heating to anyone in need of plumbing or heating help
