These guys tried to charge my parents 3,800 for a water heater, and said they had to decide on the spot. They called to schedule an appointment one day later on a Friday and charge them $420 an hour to remove the old water heater and put on one cap. Seriously. They are trying to rip off older people. My plumber said a water heater is about 1600. I did show up as scheduled anyway.
Description of Work: New water heater. They charge $620 for an hour to remove the old one and put on the shut off. Crazy.

Wightons charged $742 to auger one toilet. Please see the bill attached. They were at the house for less than a half an hour. They also told the tenant that the toilet needed to be replaced. It was not even one year old. Unethical business practices. This company is not trustworthy.

really can't recommend this company. They tried to charge me $780 for a surge suppressor for my heater and the installation of a thermostat that I own! This is outrageous! And that doesn't include the $99 service call! Please look elsewhere. Not only that, I had to call repeatedly to try to get an appointment and a status report. Meanwhile I'm freezing in my home with no heat.

They are good. They are reliable and prompt. They are a little high priced. They charged me an astronomical amount for the gutters because they have to have insurance on their employees. They did a good job.

They were on time, professional, and had our new heater up and running with just the two scheduled visits. I will certainly use them again when we are ready to have our air conditioner replaced. I would like to add that we received a call telling us that they would like to come out and take care of a scheduled inspection and service of our air-conditioner. I told them that I hadn't scheduled that and was then informed that it was complimentary. I scheduled a 7am appointment so that I could leave for work on time. The Tech showed up on time, inspected, cleaned, and serviced our air-conditioner within the time frame that was promised. I was able to get to work on time and the air conditioner is working wonderfully. I have seen a couple of reviews that state they are a bit high priced but I find that you truly get what you pay for. Our heater was wonderful this last winter and the complimentary cleaning and servicing of our air conditioner was just an added bonus. Once again I would very highly recommend them. Feb-2016 New update for this wonderful company. We had a complimentary heater inspection and check-up and once again they were able to accommodate my work schedule. They came out early, checked and cleaned, replaced the filter, and got done in time for me to head off to work. They are very professional and I appreciate that. Thanks again Wightons.

I scheduled bids from four separate companies on four consecutive days. Wighton's was scheduled to be at my house at 9 AM on 06-11-2014. 9 AM came and went with no phone calls. At 9:40 AM, I received a phone call from the person that was supposed to have already been at my house. He related that he was sick, and he thought that he had let his supervisor know the day prior that he would not be in for work the following day. He said that he must not have actually made that notification, and he was now wanting to reschedule our appointment. I was not able to reschedule, nor did I want to. I scheduled all of my bids on days off or hours around work. This job is not wanted, but it is being required by the county for an addition that is being completed. In order to pay for the unexpected upgrade, I am having to work 7 days a week for an unknown duration. Calling 40 minutes after the scheduled appointment to reschedule was unacceptable. If you cannot show up for a bid, or at least call prior to the scheduled time, it shows me a lack of professionalism. I have better things to do than to wait around for someone that is not going to show up. Are they going to show up for the work when they say they are going to be there???? Or, would I just be strung along???
Description of Work: Wighton's was scheduled for a bid to completely remove and replace our heating, AC, and duct system.

It went well. However, after they left I noticed a humming noise that I knew I could not live with. They came out the day after we called them about it, and replaced the transformer. We paid for the part, but thankfully they did not charge us to come out to our house again.

The furnace is still here and the A/C is all new. They were excellent. They were always on time. They cleaned up everyday after themselves. They explain fully why they were doing whatever they were suggesting. They never tried to pressure me into more than what I absolutely needed. They gave me options on how to set something up. I went for the more expensive option because it was more convenient where we are located. The price was comparable to the work they did. I was extremely satisfied with their work.
