Company History

Founded by Max Gundlach Jr. and A.C. Wroot in 1900, the business added air conditioning in 1927 and grew through mid-century projects like school and hospital work across Bakersfield. The Jones family owned it for decades before Ken and Shelly Wonderly purchased the company in 2004. Through that transition the firm kept its local focus while adding modern systems and training.

Leadership

Owner Ken trained at Universal Technical Institute in Phoenix and at the Local 250 Union school, becoming a certified journeyman and later an instructor. He has over 35 years of industry experience and moved from technician to management before buying the business. Ken keeps the company involved in local projects and values steady, practical solutions for customers in Bakersfield and nearby towns.
