What Our Neighbors Are Saying
Mniska showed on time. He was very professional, quoting his estimate after his initial inspection. He was very careful and clean. In fact he put booties on his shoes prior to entering the premises and covered the floor area in front of boiler before beginning the repair. I would recommend him to anyone needing a boiler tech.
Great experience with Afterglow: Mniska is very knowledgable, describe the work order in detail and answer questions.
I used Afterglow services to help me fix a hydronic issue that another contractor messed up. He was super informative and knew exactly the issue and remedy. Had my system working for a tenant who said they experienced intermittent heating. Honest and trustworthy work. Would definitely use again.
Afterglow heating, just go with them. Mniska has those old school values that are harder and harder to find: professional, detailed oriented, consistent and takes a lot of pride in everything he does.
Mniska is fantastic! He come over right away when our hot water went out and ended up having to install a whole new boiler the next day. It was a long day, but he stayed until evening to be sure we had hot water that night. He also left a carbon monoxide tester just to be sure, since our fire alarm went off randomly. There was absolutely no problem and his customer service and attention to detail were amazing! 100% reccomend!
All plumbing experiences should be this pleasant and easy. Mniska gave me a clear, accurate estimate for all work, including the installation of an automatic gas shut-off valve on my house gas line, which shuts off in case of earthquake, along with a tutorial on how to use and/or reset it. He also performed a major seasonal flush of my on-demand water heater, as well as several minor deferred maintenance faucet-related fixes. Thanks!
