I'm so impressed with this company. Kai was a great plumber, extremely knowledgeable and professional. Can't recommend them enough.

Alberto was professional, thorough and very knowledgeable. He explained everything as he was doing it and presented all available options and price points. Friendly and courteous. I would definitely use Monkey Wrench Plumbing again!

My garbage disposal was not working. Luis showed up quickly and solved the problem fast. Thank you.

Too bad I can't leave ZERO stars as I almost got taken to the cleaners by the company that bought La Canada Air Conditioning.

But let's start at the beginning.
I have a five year maintenance service agreement with La Canada Air. I couldn't remember them coming this summer to check and I dug up the service receipts and it was last serviced October 2021. (my bad for not having it in my appointment calender) but Shirley had always called me when a check-up was due.
So I called and found out that both Shirley and Joe had retired.

Monkey Wrench Plumbing, Heating & Air bought the business and they came out. After the service guy asked me if I had a new filter, I was a little taken back and said no as it was included in my contract that they should supply one. (I had to send them a copy of my contract). Then he tells me about all the parts that need to be replaced as they are not within manufacturing range to the cost of $2,100. Or I could replace the heating unit for $9,750. The unit is only 7 yr old. I said thanks and I'll call them.

I called a reputable company to have them check if it was really as bad as Monkey Wrench said.

Answer.....NO
Talk about trying to rip me off and take advantage of a retiree.

The serv ice of Monkey Wrench was excellent. We had no hot water coming out of our tankless water heater and their technician, Luis, came out the same day, took the time to diagnose the problem. There was no rush, no hard sell, and his explanation was clear. He put on the track to get the repairs we needed. Luis was efficient, kind and professional.

Terrible. Overpriced and shoddy work. We had a gas leak so pretty eager to get work done quickly. The Monkeywrench salesperson poorly predicted the timeline (or misled us on timeline to get the job), leaving us without hot water for days longer than promised. They installed a water heater shoddily and not to code (loose gas line, no trap, questionable strapping). When there was a another problem, they gave us an estimate that was 40% higher than the 5-star Yelp rated plumbers we eventually hired to do the job. Though Monkeywrench gave us a discount on the original job due to the late timeline, we're pretty sure we overpaid for that too.

Update: They called me to talk it through. I asked them to stop saying that my review was ""pending resolution."" I didn't ask for any money or services from them and there is no ""resolution"" pending. They earned this review.

I love Monkey Wrench Plumbing. Sure plumbing is never cheap BUT the crew is so good at what they do and their followup is awesome. Rick installed my tank-less water heater and water softener system and I adore him.
I just met Fred, who did my HVAC maintenance and he was so professional, kind and explained everything very clearly. I plan to have Fred be my point-person on my HVAC system now. I totally recommend both Rick and Fred!

Luis did an amazing job fixing a leak and really came through for me. I had contacted 4 plumbers before and 2 never followed through on showing up. He was efficient, kept the area clean and was up front and direct on costs and work needed. I would use them again.

Henry did a great job! Fixed leak of cold water line under kitchen sink.
Also capped water line we asked him to.
