I was very happy with their service. Wished I would have took the time to pour a cement pad for the condensing unit though because I'm not convinced the cheap looking foam pad is going to last that it is setting on. Courteous and professional servicemen and I would use them again.

Wighton's is great about communicating with their customers. They called the day before to remind us of the appointment, and then when the service tech was on his way, another call was made to let me know. He was very polite and considerate. He even put on shoe covers before coming in the house. He took the time to explain exactly what he was going to do and why. After he was done he went over the results of the tests and gave me copies of everything. Everything was working fine and no repairs were needed or recommended. He did suggest that we consider upgrading our thermostat, but there was no pressure to do so.
Description of Work: We purchased an annual maintenance contract when they repaired our furnace about 4 months ago. Part of that service was to come out once a year and do an inspection of the furnace and clean and/or replace the filter. This was the maintenance service call. The service tech thoroughly inspected the furnace, tested the air temperature output at various areas of the house, to check the air flow. He replaced the filter, and did various other tests to determine if the furnace was operating properly.

I had company visiting from out of town and some of the hottest weather of the year. Of course that's when the AC goes out! Wighton's wasn't called first, but they ended up being the company that could come that day. All in all, we were pleased with the results. The technician was personable, knowledgeable and had the AC up and running in a reasonable amount of time. No complaints at all other than the general note that this sort of work is not cheap.

I chose them as they were local since I like to support local companies. I signed a contract with them for one particular type of heater and they switched it on me before asking if that was what I wanted to do. They switched the brand name as well as the type of heater and gave me a one cycle instead of a two cycle. I am not too happy about that but I have to roll with it. The following year I had to leave my heater on for an odorant amount of time to heat up my house which was not happening. I had to call them and set up an appointment. The day they came out I went under the house with the person responsible and found out that they had left a ten foot section of air duct off as a result of which my heater was going into empty air space. Their prices are reasonable and in line with what everybody else charges. I am not too happy with them and would not use them again in the future.

Heater broke down on Friday. Wightons responded to a call on that day (we had never used them before). The service tech had to red tag the heater for a cracked heat exchanger (the tech demonstrated the crack). They had to order a new heater assembly (Ammana. It was promised for Tuesday install. It was a cold weekend but they arrived promptly Tuesday morning and installed it very efficiently.

We have had very good success with him. They come out once a year and take care of things. I found them to be very easy to work with once they get here. They do air conditioning and heating. They come once a year to do the maintenance. It took us a little while to get in line. Before it starts getting cold, everybody wants their furnace fixed. They are clean and they clean up after themselves. They are just pleasant.

Our Wighton's repairman arrived on time and with all the equipment he needed to repair our non-functioning furnace. He discovered that rodents had chewed into some tubing, so he repaired the damage and then sealed the unit so they couldn't access the furnace again. He was efficient and friendly.

I have a yearly maintenance contract with them. They come out twice every year and spend one or two hours in fine tuning everything to make sure that it is working at its peak efficiency. They are very good and very reliable. Their service is very prompt. They are clean and very professional. I have a renewing contract with them and have been renewing it for the past three years.

They were very professional and did good job. However, the duct work was changed from running along the floor to being above the ground. It was run at waist height, making it difficult to navigate the area and leaving less room for storage. I’m not sure if there was a choice or not, but I wasn’t provided with the option. However, after the installation, our units ran much better.
Description of Work: They installed new duct work in our attic.
