AC Installation in Menomonee Falls, WI

When summer arrives in Menomonee Falls, a properly sized air conditioning system is the difference between comfort and misery. Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric has served Waukesha County homeowners for over 60 years, and our NATE-certified technicians bring that experience to every AC installation.

**Getting the Size Right**

Proper sizing is the single most important factor in AC performance. An oversized unit short-cycles, cools the air too quickly, and leaves excess humidity behind. An undersized system runs constantly on the hottest days and never reaches your set temperature. Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation for every project — accounting for your home's square footage, insulation, window orientation, and ceiling heights. Given Menomonee Falls' postwar ranches on the east side and newer subdivisions west of Highway 41, accurate sizing matters in Menomonee Falls.

**SEER Ratings and Efficiency**

Modern central air conditioners are rated by SEER2. Upgrading from a 10 SEER system to a 16+ SEER unit typically cuts cooling costs by 30–40%. Burkhardt installs systems from Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Rheem, Goodman, and American Standard — brands with proven track records in Wisconsin's demanding climate.

**Central Air vs. Ductless Mini-Splits**

Homes without ductwork are strong candidates for Mitsubishi or other brand ductless mini-splits — wall-mounted units that require no ductwork, offer zone-by-zone temperature control, and install with minimal disruption. For homes with existing forced-air systems, a central AC upgrade paired to your furnace is typically the most cost-effective path.

**GreenSky Financing Available**

A new AC system is a significant investment. Burkhardt offers GreenSky financing so Menomonee Falls homeowners can choose the right equipment — not just the cheapest option — and pay over time.

FAQs

Find answers to your most pressing questions about our services and operations.
When is the best time to schedule AC installation in Menomonee Falls to avoid summer delays?
Book an AC installation in Menomonee Falls in early spring to beat peak-season wait times. Scheduling early also ensures more system options and quicker permit approvals for new builds or replacements.
Can window AC units be installed sideways in a vertical opening?
Never install an AC unit sideways. It voids warranties and risks of refrigerant imbalance. Use vertical units designed for sliding windows or reach out to our technicians for custom cooling alternatives.
Can you install a window AC unit in the wall safely in Menomonee Falls?
Yes, but not all window AC units are designed for wall installation. In Menomonee Falls, it’s best to call Burkhardt Heating & Cooling. Our team ensures the unit is framed correctly, sealed, vented, and wired for safe and efficient through-the-wall use.
How can you install a window AC safely in older or uneven window frames?
Older window frames often lack the structural support needed for safe AC installation. They may require extra bracing, sealing, or leveling. A trained Burkhardt Heating & Cooling technician ensures the unit sits flush, drains properly, and runs quietly.
How long does it take to install AC if the ductwork is outdated?
AC installation in Menomonee Falls homes with outdated ductwork may take 1–2 full days. At Burkhardt Heating & Cooling, we assess your existing duct layout, repair leaks, improve insulation, and optimize airflow to ensure your new system runs efficiently.
