- * Wright Heating Founded!
The Company's location started in an abandoned building on an old farm in Portage County and focused on residential heating and air conditioning installations. An active Service Department was organized during the 1960's to further serve the needs of area residents.
As the work came in and customers spread the word about the quality of work performed, the Company relocated to Brimfield, OH then later on to Kent, OH.
Since that time, and under the current leadership of Larry Wright, the business has grown in a variety of ways: incorporating in 1971, expanding the physical size of the warehouse, office, and fabrication shop, and increasing the scope of business geographically, and, most extensively, in commercial and industrial projects. The third generation of family is actively involved in the daily operations of the Firm; which in 2001 celebrated 50 years of commitment to the community.
Today Wright Heating upholds the tradition of customer commitment and quality workmanship that Ernest started over fifty years ago. To ensure that commitment, employees are trained to keep up with the technological changes introduced in the industry.
You can count on us for custom made indoor weather now and for many years to come!
