For the last ten years, I have been using WK Mechanical for service on my furnace and my air conditioning. The first summer in my new home, the five month old air conditioning was not working. It was July and we were in a heat wave! I called the company I had used in the past when I lived in Monroe, but they did not seem to think there was any urgency and tried to schedule me for a week out. I hung up and went back to the yellow pages. There was the name I had recognized for many years, WK Mechanical. I called, they had a service technician there within an hour or so and service was restored. Apparently, the techs hired by the builder of my new townhouse did not install the unit properly. WK made everything work well with the unit and I was charged what I thought was quite fair a fee. The technician recommended that I have a service contract to ensure that both heat and air would be properly maintained for years to come. I did exactly that and it has been one of the best homeowner decisions I have ever made. Bob has always been the service technician except for one time. One evening, about 6 or 7 years ago, it was an icy and snowy, frigid night. I worked late in Poughkeepsie, drove home gripping the steering wheel as I hated to drive on ice, hoping to be home safe and warm. It only took a few minutes once home to realize that the heat was not on. I hated to call for anyone to have to come out, but WK sent out a tech who drove from Goshen to my home in the Town of Newburgh and arrived within an hour. There was a tiny part on the furnace that had corroded so he replaced it and the heat powered on once again! Because I had a service contract, I paid very little for the part. I was relieved and beyond grateful!
As I no longer reside in Orange County, NY and my home has sold, I am sad to be saying goodbye to the wonderful people at WK Mechanical as I don't think they can make service calls to the State of Florida! Trish has always been so kind and helpful over the phone to help me schedule my service as my work schedule was so irregular. Bob has been so great in showing up always on time, always called to let me know just when he would arrive which was helpful as many times I was racing on 84 to get home to meet him there. Not only did he perform service in the most professional way, he also always made sure to leave everything as he found it. the vertical blinds in the basement were always closed, door was locked, I never had to check. Let me tell you how rare that is! Most people coming into a home to perform a service leave things open, ajar, not locked. After the service, Bob always reviewed with me what he did, how things are operating and made me feel well protected as always. Bob is kind and considerate and it has always been a pleasure to see him. He has educated me on many things. I love smart people! He is a gentleman, a friend and a patriotic man! I will miss him dearly.
I have recommended that the family who will be living in my home continue to use WK Mechanical. Joanne and her family appreciate their customers and in turn we appreciate all at WK. So thank you to Joanne, Rich, Trish and most of all Bob for treating me so well!
