Keeping the mountains comfortable since 1958.
For nearly seven decades, western North Carolina has relied on R&W for unmatched quality installation and service of heating, cooling, and ventilation systems — with in-house planning, our own metal fabrication shop, and the planned maintenance that keeps buildings running. Now backed by FirstCall Mechanical.
Full-service mechanical contracting.
From the rooftop unit over a downtown Asheville storefront to the kitchen hood in a Biltmore Village restaurant to the custom ductwork our own shop fabricated for it — R&W plans, builds, installs, and services mechanical systems with 68 years of western North Carolina know-how.
HVAC Services
Rooftop units, chillers, boilers, heat pumps, mini-splits, and everything that ties them together — service and installation for facilities across western North Carolina.
Project Support
Design-build, retrofit, new construction, and equipment upgrades — planned, fabricated, installed, and commissioned by the same local team.
Metal Fabrication
Our own Asheville fabrication shop — low- and high-pressure ductwork, welded grease duct, roof curbs, exhaust hoods, and custom sheet metal, cut and formed in-house.
Planned Maintenance
Scheduled service agreements that catch small problems before they shut you down — predictable visits, clear reporting, and priority dispatch when something does go wrong.
Emergency Services
24-hour emergency response for planned-maintenance customers — when equipment fails after hours, you get a human and a truck, not a voicemail.
Electrical
Licensed commercial electrical — power distribution, lighting, switchgear, generators, and the cross-trade coordination that comes with a single mechanical contractor.
Building Controls
Automated DDC control systems designed, installed, and tuned — open protocols, multi-vendor integration, no proprietary lock-in.
Western North Carolina's mechanical contractor for three generations.
Since 1958, western North Carolina has relied on R&W for unmatched quality installation and service of its heating, cooling, and ventilation systems. Hotels, schools, medical buildings, churches, restaurants — the buildings this region is known by carry our work inside their walls.
What set us apart then still sets us apart now: we do it all in-house. Planning, custom metal fabrication in our own Asheville shop, installation, and the service that keeps it running for decades after.
