Gundlach’s Service, operating in Bakersfield, CA, has a legacy that spans over 100 years, having been established in 1900 by Max Gundlach Jr. and A.C. Wroot. Originally opened as a plumbing repair shop, the company has evolved significantly over the decades. Following its inception, it expanded its services to include tinning and sheet metal work in 1927, before officially operating under the name Gundlach’s Plumbing and Sheet Metal Co. Ltd. in 1930.
Significantly contributing to the HVAC industry, Gundlach's incorporated air conditioning services in 1934, driven by family involvement and hands-on training. By the 1950s and 1960s, they grew to become one of the largest mechanical contractors in Bakersfield, successfully completing several notable projects, including school renovations and hospital wards.
The company shifted its focus in 1985 towards service and remodeling in plumbing and HVAC, thereby ceasing its tinning and sheet metal fabrication services. In a pivotal change in 2004, ownership transitioned to Ken and Shelly Wonderly, who brought over two decades of expertise in air conditioning, enhancing the service offerings with modern techniques and solutions.
Today, Gundlach’s Service emphasizes state-of-the-art technology while adhering to the foundational principles of integrity and customer service. Offering comprehensive plumbing, air conditioning, and heating services, they take pride in their customer satisfaction and have built a reputation of reliability and quality in Kern County. Their suite of services includes routine maintenance, emergency repairs, and HVAC system installations, ensuring optimal comfort and efficiency for residential and commercial clients alike. Gundlach's remains dedicated to using modern technology while fostering traditional values, making them a trusted choice for home performance solutions.
