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.

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!
When our tankless water heater broke, I called Mniska and he came the same day. He was very good and thorough. He patiently explained our options and answered all our questions. Definitely recommend!
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.
