“Austin came and fixed our heater that stopped working last night. We called this morning around 8 and we were lucky that he arrived around 10. Very prompt service! Austin is very polite and friendly. He got it taken care of and we are so happy to have heat in our home with the part he replaced. We have been very satisfied every time we have had to call. Thank you very much Wighton's for taking care of us.”
