Service response was prompt. The electrician, Owen, is knowledgeable and thorough, addressing an unknown issue that saved us from a major loss had it not been resolved. I couldn’t be happier with the service I received at Conejo Services. I highly recommend them and have already done so to my neighbors.

I luckily found Conejo Plumbing on Yelp to service our tankless hot water heater, after my original plumber reneged on my lifetime contract. The plumber “Dier” was early for our appointment and after pleasantries was eager to solve the intermittent ignition issues we were experiencing. After an inspection it was noted that the igniter and flame rods had carbon and rust built up. Instead of soaking a customer and replacing our unit a simple service call got us back up and running. I can’t thank Conejo and “Dier” for the prompt service call and their professionalism. Suffice it to say Conejo will be my first call for plumbing issues and I look forward to seeing them in the future for HVAC calls as well. If you’re in need of a professional plumber I highly recommend Conejo as your first choice.

I highly recommend the Conejo Company team, especially Craig McConnell, for their outstanding service! This was my second time working with Craig and once again, he exceeded my expectations. He was extremely professional, thorough, and responsible. He took the time to carefully inspect my air conditioning system, explain the issues clearly, and address the maintenance and repair problems efficiently. I truly appreciate his attention to detail and the pride he takes in his work. Craig is not only knowledgeable and skilled, but also honest, dependable, and genuinely committed to doing the job right. It is very reassuring to have a technician I can trust, especially when it comes to maintaining my home. I am very happy with the service I received and truly appreciate Craig’s hard work and professionalism. My experience with Conejo Company has been excellent, and I believe they have a team of technicians who are reliable, ethical, and dedicated to providing quality service. Thank you, Greg, and thank you to the entire Conejo Company team! I would definitely recommend you to family, friends, and anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional HVAC company.

Estimator came out to quote repair of leak in roof. He found the problem and fixed it in a few minutes. He did not charge me for the service call. I will certainly use your firm in the future.

At this moment in time, I am very pleased. My air conditioning is working right on the day that I needed it to work. Both workers Fernando and I think Andre were efficient , polite and thorough. The only reason I hesitate is that I had a bad experience with another HVAC company and I just watching to make sure that AC works as efficient as it should. I do thank you for your immediate responses and showing up on time.

I live in a condo and have been trying to figure out where a slow leak was stemming from. Craig McConnell was incredibly helpful, thorough and knowledgeable and helped me to rule out every possibility of it stemming from my unit. I now have what I need to move forward with my HOA. I couldn't have asked for more excellent service! Thank you!!

I had a great overall experience my air conditioning went out on one of the hottest days. I needed them to come right away not only the waive after hours fee but the technician Fernando was very helpful kind and knowledgeable. I am glad they have that membership discount because it cut the price to make it a little bit more affordable
