We had Anthony do our fireplace remodel, and we are extremely happy. Our fireplace was a gas insert, and we wanted to switch to an electric. We decided to do a build out to update the space. Anthony was very friendly and punctual. The team that he works with were also friendly and on-time. I was concerned about dust, but was so impressed with how clean they kept everything from start to finish. Anthony has an excellent eye for design, and was very helpful with suggestions for spacing and placement. He was also sure to take care of all the details, including removing existing speakers and lights that would no longer fit and properly patching up holes. They did exceptional work, and we are so happy with the finished product. We look forward to working with him again for our lighting. read more

What I appreciated most is that they handle everything themselves -- demolition, electrical, gas, and installation -- so there's no need to coordinate with multiple contractors or worry about who's responsible for what. I had a very specific and challenging project: installing a gas fireplace into a very small, original arched Victorian fireplace. Anthony was incredibly helpful throughout the process. He patiently answered all of my questions and spent a lot of time working with my masonry contractor to explore every possible option. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, we ended up with the best solution possible. We are finally got rid of draft and now spending most evenings in once most abandoned room read more

Anthony came on time and kept me informed about his ETA via Yelp and text. The scope was to replace our gas fireplace ignition valve with a newer more suitable one. He explained everything what he was going to do in simple layman's terms and did the installation in a timely and professional manner.

Dare I say that this company, with Anthony as president and owner, is the best outfit that I have dealt with in a very long time. I feel extremely well-treated by Anthony's superb online communications and his eventual work replacing the pilot light system on our old Napoleon gas stove. Fast and friendly - professional in every way. I plan to visit the showroom, in hopes of buying a ceiling fan, later this year. read more

After being told by multiple places that they do not repair older gas fireplaces, I found Wright Lighting and Anthony G. What a wonderful find. This was one of the most efficient repair situations I have ever dealt with. I talked to Anthony, sent him a photo of the fireplace and the problem. He sent a quote immediately along with info on what he would do. I ordered the parts needed and scheduled a repair. He arrived on time, let me know exactly what he was doing, completed the work, showed me what was done including cleaning the fire place area and answered questions. I am absolutely thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Anthony and Wright Lighting and Fireside. read more

Anthony provided the perfect solution for my home.

We've now done two remodels where we purchased lights from Wright Lighting. These guys know their stuff, and they are always so nice and helpful. It's a small shop but they can get just about anything through catalogs for you. Delivery dates for us were always spot on, too. They have a lot of lights on display, too. Highly recommend them. read more

What a great little light store.......... SO our ongoing light quest for our Mid Century Modern Eichler, took us to Wright Lighting. Large selection and the usual suspects.

My wife's favorite floor lamp was broken when we moved and the manufacturer doesn't make it anymore. So, I dutifully set out disassembling the lamp and determining what parts I need.

Friendly, quick and full of helpful guidance on lamp repair. A great experience and I hope to use them again. read more

I wish I could clone Wright Lighting and Fireside. How many companies actually do what they say they can? And in a timely manner? After contacting 5 or 6 other companies for a new gas insert, only to be told to send photos and never hearing back, Anthony came to our rescue. On October 11, Anthony (President of Wright Lighting and Fireside) came to measure, telling us that we had an unusual size firebox but he'd do his best to find a solution. He provided two options where stock was available (a result of our pandemic times) and at different price points. One month later, on November 11, our insert installed. Anthony was well organized and clearly knew what he was doing. Even though he was up on the roof and in the chimney and back into the house numerous times, he left not one tiny bit of soot or mud anywhere. Our new insert not only looks great, it's the best heat we could imagine. Rather than being blasted by our old ceramic logs, the room is warmer and the heat more "gentle." Anthony is special. He treated us like we were valued customers and that is especially rare these days.

If you're seeking an honest, punctual, flexible, reliable expert in fireplace insert installation and repair, I would recommend Wright Lighting and Fireside. In fact, I would give 6 stars to Anthony and Co., if possible. Here's why... I originally bought two fireplace inserts at another company in San Jose (who shall remain nameless) that installed them a couple of years ago. Both inserts had quit working, so I tried to get them to come service them. After two months of trying to get them to even call me back, I gave up and contacted Wright. Anthony made and appointment with me and came out the FOLLOWING DAY. He provided a written estimate for both fireplaces and then repaired the curved fireplace in my office during the initial visit and ordered parts for my living room fireplace insert. Anthony also provided an upgrade option for my office fireplace that would improve it substantially. Based on the estimate, and the excellent results with my living room fireplace, I decided to have Anthony re-do the curved fireplace in my office with a new insert to improve efficiency and to better heat the room. The results are spectacular. Both my living room and office fireplace inserts are beautiful and operating splendidly. In summary, I feel Wright Lighting and Fireside is an excellent supplier and service provider and I highly recommend them. p.s., Anthony was also reviewed by my dog-like-creature, Rookie, who is an exceptional judge of character. Rookie indicated 5 stars also. read more

Rating 5 stars just from the back-and-forth on the estimate alone, though I'm still at the scoping phase of my fireplace project and haven't yet pulled the trigger on the build. Anthony was wonderfully patient and thorough in answering all of my questions via Yelp messages: he walked me through the pricing for various options, recommended particular fireplace units to consider based on my available space, and even considered the feasibility of accessing our upper-floor unit's existing exterior vent from our San Francisco street. His advice made me feel much more clear about what my project would entail, and I'm eager to work with him if/when we proceed with the work. read more

Anthony did a fantastic job helping me transform an old gas bedroom fireplace into a sleek new beauty! He was so patient as I tried to find the perfect size insert and changed my mind at least five times. Anthony was knowledgable about all the various steps, punctual and dependable. We are so happy with the way our new fireplace turned out. There were so many steps I didn't realize I needed to take as far as the demo, asbestos removal, instructions for the stone fabricators, choosing the medium for the fireplace, etc. but Anthony was there every step of the way. He really made this an enjoyable experience. We love to sit by the fireplace every morning with coffee and relax. The new insert puts out a lot of heat! read more

This place offers the best service for your purchase and repair of all lighting needs. I appreciate greatly that everyone here is such an expert in lighting - really helps to make the best choice.

If you find a light you like and want to know if there are any other similar options from different manufacturers, they are knowledgeable enough to find those for you. I was having an issue with a pendant lamp. I called and explained what was happening and they were able to diagnose the problem. They repaired the light and it works perfectly. Very happy with their knowledge and customer service. read more

I was in need of a couple ceiling fans and wanted to support a local business rather than a large chain. I came across Wright Lighting and decided to give them a try. I dealt with Ramon, who was patient and kind and gave me a couple catalogues of fans to sort through since they didn't have anything in store that I was looking for. He answered my questions and helped me find exactly what I was looking for. When it came time to order, he placed my order by sending me an invoice via email and i paid the balance via phone. He told me the fans would be arriving within a week and a half to the store. That time came and went and I called in to get an update. I was informed by another associate that they had been backordered to October (I ordered the first week of August, so expected them mid-August). Now, let me be clear that I understand that the manufacturer pushed the time out due to a lack of supply. I do not fault them on this at all. The fact that I was calling into Wright lighting to get an update instead of being notified about the delay was frustrating to say the least. When I asked how such a discrepancy could occur I was given an answer of I'm not sure what happened. And there was never any future follow up on how I went from arriving in 1.5 weeks to delayed almost 2 months. Or why I wasn't notified. Or even an apology. Just a "this is happening to lots of people." I'm not saying I deserve special treatment, I'm just saying that information would have swayed my decision to order something else other than what I did had I known. I never received any other information until our order did arrive (a couple weeks ahead of anticipated October delivery). Their pickup however, is seamless. I went in, told them my name and order and they had an associate wheel it to my vehicle and load. Everything was as ordered. This was fantastic. Wish every pick up for a product was as easy. I'm not saying don't go here. I do want businesses like this to survive and thrive, but I was quite disappointed that such a critical issue regarding our order was not communicated and delayed our fans in a time where our AC was also backordered due to supply and we really were relying on these fans to help us beat the summer heat. In the end, we do love the product and they look fantastic. read more

We have Anthony helped us fully remodel a gas corner fireplace and partially remodel a wood-burning fireplace. We are very happy with the professional service the team provided. Anthony responded to our questions and asks very fast and treat all the details with care. He gave us good recommendations and knew his stuff. The new gas fireplace looks nice and provide efficient heat. The complete remodel of 1.5 fireplace take 2months to finish, which we initially expected to be shorter . Given the global shortage of electronic chips it is not too bad. The price is not cheap, but it pays. We do recommend their service for those who need a custom fireplace remodel. read more

A contractor installed our fire pit with a battery powered electronic ignition a few years ago that kept causing issues every year. It would simply not work, or work in a very flaky way (couldn't turn off, couldn't turn on, intensity would change by itself, just overall weirdness). Anthony from Wright Lighting and Fireside came this year and finally shed light on the problems: the controller was mounted too close to the burner and caused malfunctions. He also identified that the fire pit also didn't have proper vents on the side. Anthony proposed 3 solutions: 1) fully electric (most expensive since it required some trenching to bring power) 2) battery/electronic 3) completely manual. I decided to go with the manual option and I'm thoroughly satisfied. The gas valve allows for very fine grain control of intensity (we didn't have that with the fancy electronic ignition). The system doesn't require additional vents and has been very reliable. read more

Great service, responsive, explained our problem and offer multiple solutions, we had excellent results. We 100% recommend!

Where I live, it is absolutely impossible to get any sort of contractor to come out to fix anything, without paying an arm and a leg and waiting for months. Or, being told I need to spend thousands for a whole new something-or-other (in this instance, a fireplace insert). It even cost 350 to auger a toilet, for god's sake, just for reference. Keep in mind that an auger costs 10 bucks at the hardware store and takes 5 minutes. Maddening. So, when I found Wright Lighting and Fireside via yelp, I was skeptical. How was it possible that they could come out within a week to fix my old, broken gas fireplace insert? And, why were they so responsive all the time? How was it possible that Anthony replied to my email within a day? Every single time. It seemed shady! But, I noticed that they had a high end shop and had been in business since 1950 or so. Plus, no one else was jumping at the chance to fix my fireplace. So, I took a chance and had Anthony come out to fix my fireplace. He stayed for 2.5 hours, was super pleasant and professional, and even vacuumed my entire fireplace and nearby floor when he was done! Not only that, he didn't upsell me on anything, and in fact, when he ran into a couple of problems with my unit, he fixed them without charging me extra! The quote I got was exactly what I paid, and now I am a happy camper with a fireplace (that no one else would fix, mind you) that actually works! I am so pleased and would recommend them in a heartbeat. This type of service is what's lacking nowadays in the SV. read more

They were incredible rude and didn't follow through in a professional manner. I would avoid at all costs.

Anthony from Wright Lighting installed a beautiful gas fire system in my 100+ year-old brick fireplace. The entire company is very polite, customer-friendly, and knowledgeable about gas fireplaces. The brass trimmed door is gorgeous. The most important thing is that Anthony very carefully measured for the entire system, including the doors, and laid the gas lines in such a way that you can tell a seasoned professional did the work. The doors took several months to arrive due to supply chain issues, but Anthony let me know as soon as they arrived, and he was there the same week to install. I highly recommend Wright Lighting if yiu are looking for a gas forepl read more

We had a fireplace that stopped working during the COVID lockdown and had 4 local SF appliance repair people come by to "fix" it only to order the wrong parts, tell us that something else was broken or that they couldn't do work on gas fireplaces and still charge us $300 for each visit. None of them had experience with gas fireplaces in apartment buildings. Should have hired Wright from the start, part were ordered and fireplace was fixed and running in 20 minutes once Anthony came by. He also cleaned the inside to make it look crisp. read more
