When an AC unit stopped working, a Google reviewer writing in June 2021 said Adam explained what he was doing and repaired it. The customer said the unit then ran better than it had in years. WRICO is based in Osterville, with heating, air conditioning, plumbing and indoor air quality services across Cape Cod, according to its website. The company describes itself as family-owned and says Jim Wright started it in 1981 after twenty years in heating, air conditioning and refrigeration. Its history says his son-in-law Adam Machado joined as a service and installation helper in 1988 and has run the business since Wright retired in 2001. The Cape Cod Times also describes a family succession. WRICO says the owner personally conducts all free estimates rather than sending a salesperson, and identifies itself as a Bryant dealer. A December 2016 Google reviewer described using the company for many years and praised honesty, professionalism and prompt responses and arrivals. Google shows five stars from two ratings. BBB gives WRICO an A+ grade, lists it as non-accredited and identifies Adam Machado as owner, with six employees. WRICO’s Massachusetts HVAC licence 367-SM-B is expired, according to the state registry. BuildZoom lists 39 historical projects and plumbing and gas-piping services under a Marstons Mills profile sharing the Osterville business’s phone number.
