The story of WK Mechanical began in 1945 when Mr. Whiteford and Mr. Keagy established Whiteford Keagy (WK), an appliance repair shop that also provided heating and air conditioning services in the Hudson Valley.
Meanwhile in Brooklyn, in 1976 Ron Conforti and his two partners established WARP – 10 (Worldwide Air Conditioning, Refrigeration, and Plumbing). The company began with 10 employees but grew over the years to a large Heating and Cooling Mechanical Company servicing the 5 boroughs of New York. In the early 1980s, the company changed its name to Conforti Mechanical as they began focusing on proving heating and cooling services.
A Big Change
In 1990 the Conforti family moved from Brooklyn upstate to the Monroe area after Ron Conforti’s partners purchased his shares of Conforti Mechanical. A year later in 1991 Ron and Joanne Conforti purchased Whiteford Keagy from Mr. Whiteford and Mr. Keagy and began building what is known today as WK Mechanical.
