I received an estimate that was approximately $3,000 higher than any other estimate I received. They were very punctual and got me the estimate quick (which no other company did). I have no doubt that they would have done an excellent job. But $9,000 was just too much to replace my 2 ton Carrier system with a 3 ton system and add 2 new vents. Their estimate almost hurt my feelings it was so high!
Description of Work: Estimate to replace heat pump, air handler and add two vents in a bonus room.

I've used them a few times. They were in and out. They were very polite and did a good job. I felt that they were very thorough.
Description of Work: I have two air conditioning units. He serviced both of them by adding Freon and cleaning them out as well as checking them over. One of my motors in my air conditioner wasn't cooling correctly. He corrected this.

Steve was very professional, honest and personable; probably one of the best residential HVAC techs I have run across. Even though one of my systems has a refrigerant leak, he did not push a replacement. He suggested we see how the system runs after recharge...so far, so good. I chose WC Wright because of the numerous good reviews in Angie's list. If Steve is typical for their technicians, I highly recommend this company. If you can schedule Steve to do your work, you will be in good hands.
Description of Work: Performed preventive maintenance and cleaned coils on three residential condensing units. Added refrigerant to one of the three units.

Last summer I called this company repeatedly about coming out and giving me an estimate on replacing a central air conditioning component in my home. I called them at least four times over a period of two months. Each time they promised to come in the next couple of days but never showed. I finally gave up and waited until this year. I started again to try and get them to give me an estimate. This time one of their representatives finally showed up. It seemed pretty clear that he wasn't interested in the job, but he promised me he would get back to me in a day or two with a second inspection and an estimate. That is the last I saw or heard from him. In the future, I would never use this company because they repeatedly do not keep agreements and cannot seem to give honest, straight answers. I eventually had the work done by another company that is lower rated in Angie's List, and they did a super job.

I called them (based on the Angie's List ratings) after my normal service company quoted me a price on this replacement. Their price was equivalent. I have been somewhat unhappy with my current company, so I asked Wright & Son to do the install. I called them back, and they came out the very next day. They were very professional and nice guys. They showed up exactly on time. They removed the old equipment from outside and in the basement. Then they unpacked and installed the new equipment. And when they left, there was not a trace that anyone had been here - no trash, no footprints, no grime. Just a new perfectly-working system with a 10-year warranty. I now have my normal service contract with them instead. I recommend W.C. Wright & Sons very highly.
Description of Work: Replaced air conditioner outdoor coil and compressor as well as indoor evaporator with new Trane equipment.

This was an outstanding experience! The tech was prompt, professional and very nice! The company worked around my schedule and the work was handled quickly and neatly under unbearable conditions in a very HOT attic for a very reasonable price. They gave me the 10% labor discount for being a first time user from Angie's List. I would recommend this company to anyone! I will never choose blindly from the phone book again!
Description of Work: They repaired the drains on the downstairs unit which had flooded the basement. They replaced the evaporator motor on the upstairs unit which had stopped working and reset the thermostat buttons (16 feet up) on the attic fans which had also stopped running.

Great work-quick, efficient, honest. Tech describes what he's doing and offers suggestions if you're interested in chatting with him/her.
Description of Work: Have had WC Wright & Sons out twice in a couple of years. Both times, HVAC had stopped functioning. Tech said flat out he'd start with cheapest, simplest possible solutions. Turns out both times, an old capacitor (2 different ones) needed to be replaced. Expected other companies to want to replace major parts or the entire unit.

It was really nice to have found a company as reliable as Wright was. They came out the same day as we called them and completely replaced the old system we had with this new duel tower system. It works beautifully and the price they gave us was excellent.
Description of Work: The contractors replaced both the heating and air conditioning units with a duel 4 ton system, adjusting the old piping system to fit into the new one. They completed the work in one day and took both the old units away with them.

Wright WC & Son rearranged their busy schedule to get to my house quickly. We had no heat and we needed someone quick. I have to say, the gentleman that came out made it very quick and easy. The only part that took awhile was getting the part I needed for the control board. Meanwhile, I was being charged the whole time. The part I needed was definitely on the expensive side. He was very good about answering questions and I would recommend Wright WC & Son to my friends.
Description of Work: They replaced the control board on my furnace. My house is about 1700 square foot.

An example of how trustworthy and good they were was I had an expensive filter on my unit because I'm asthmatic and instead of charging me to change it as usual they said it would last until the next visit. Honesty in this business was a needed factor and I was very impressed with them. My units haven't ran into trouble yet and with them I didn t expect any either.
Description of Work: They did the inspections and annual maintenance on my two units. They checked the Freon and the filter.

We have no complaints with the Wright company. They have many years of experience and are also clean about their work. They have been working for us for quite some time and have kept the system running well. If there are any problems they come right over and do not charge us for labor. There is a small trip charge but that is all. They have done a fantastic job for us.
Description of Work: WC Wright & Son performs maintenance on our heating and cooling system. They do this twice a year and have had to repair the system as well as replenish the Freon level. We are billed on an annual basis for this service.

I have been very happy with the new cooling system in my house. It operates much more efficiently, and is extremely quiet. The installation was done in a methodic manner, and was finished in about five hours. They have since made sure it continues to run smoothly. They are also very good at keeping in touch to check how it is running. Hiring Wright was a fortunate decision for me.
