"I started The Dan Wright Corp in 1973, with no money and a borrowed truck. The first shop was located inside my garage, but with God's blessing, guidance and hard work we grew very fast. Our first priority was to the customer and I stressed the importance of the following guidelines: Clean technicians, Listen to your customer, be organized from the moment you start until complete and final exit, Speak in simple terms and be honest, Make eye contact, Work neatly and quietly. Leave the work area as clean as or cleaner than you found it. Do the whole job on the first visit. Do neat paperwork. Spell out the work you did. I have spent 50 + years in the HVAC business and enjoy seeing all the boys that started here in the 1980 become fantastic mechanics and men. I enjoy working puzzles, gardening, and spending time with family."
