Rise and Shine

As the sun peeks over the rolling hills of San Luis Obispo County, I’m already up and preparing for another busy day at Wighton’s. Since 1953, our company has been a cornerstone of the community, providing top-notch Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning services. Today, my schedule is packed with a variety of tasks, from furnace replacements to AC installations.

On the Road

8:15 AM: I hop into my well-stocked service van and head out to my first appointment. Today’s first task is a furnace replacement for a long-time customer in Paso Robles. As I drive, I reflect on how Wighton’s has maintained its reputation for quality workmanship over the past 68 years.

Furnace Replacement

Furnace replacements are intricate jobs, but with my years of experience and Wighton’s commitment to excellence, I know I can provide the best service possible. Throughout the installation, I explain the process to the homeowner, ensuring they understand the benefits of their new, energy-efficient system.

Lunch Break

12:15 PM: I take a quick lunch break, enjoying the beautiful Central Coast weather. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love working for a company so deeply rooted in this community.

AC Installation

1:00 PM – 4:00 PM: My afternoon is dedicated to an AC installation in Arroyo Grande. The summer heat can be intense here, and I take pride in knowing that our work will keep another family comfortable throughout the season.

HVAC Service Call

4:30 PM – 5:30 PM: My final stop of the day is a routine HVAC service call in San Luis Obispo. Regular maintenance is crucial for system longevity, and I’m happy to provide tips to the homeowner on keeping their system running efficiently.

Wrapping Up

6:00 PM: As I return to the Wighton’s office to complete my paperwork, I feel a sense of satisfaction. Today, like every day, I’ve had the opportunity to make a difference in our customers’ lives, ensuring their homes are comfortable and their systems are running at peak performance.

Working for Wighton’s isn’t just a job – it’s a commitment to our community. Whether it’s through furnace replacements, AC installations, or general HVAC services, we continue to uphold the values that have made us leaders in our industry for over six decades.
