What Our Neighbors Are Saying
Wow, you really feel taken care of with Afterglow Heating. They're passionate about their job and genuinely care for you as a customer. I appreciate when a technician takes time to explain things. Mniska showed me why it was better to do a long-term solution rather than a patch-up fix, as another company had suggested. They saved us money and extra headaches. I can't recommend them enough.
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!
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!
Mniska helped a lot with my radiant heating system. He took a lot of time to explain everything to me and gave me several option for fixing and upgrading our system, without making me feel pressured. Recommended as a radiant heating expert.
After hearing an increasingly loud hissing sound in my kitchen wall, I gave Afterglow a call, worried it was a gas leak. Mniska was prompt, professional and focused. He also took time to explain what steps he was taking to hone in on the problem. He was able to fix the leaky hot water pipe in my wall skillfully and smoothly.
Mniska was very knowledgeable about my somewhat complicated system and offered several options for how to proceed. He was generous with his time and patient in explaining his findings and recommendations.
