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
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 was amazing. We have a complicated heating system in a house we just bought and he figured it all out, patiently explained how it works to me and got it back in tip top shape. Highly recommend 👍
I had an automatic water shut-off valve installed today, and Mniska did an excellent job. He was very polite, professional, and explained all my options clearly before coming out. He arrived on time, worked efficiently, and completed the installation quickly. Everything was done neatly and professionally. I really appreciate the great service and would definitely recommend him.
If 6 stars were available, Afterglow Heating would receive them. Mniska is unarguably a master of his craft who has been building/designing and installing exceptional heating systems for over a decade and I can't recommend him more.
Excellent service straight forward! Willing to clarify any issue gives you multiple choices highly recommended
Professional, knowledgeable and punctual. Pleasure working with Mniska and Afterglow Heating
