Cudahy's 1920s–40s bungalows and frame two-flats along S. Packard Avenue and E. Layton Avenue, plus older industrial-era housing near Lake Shore Drive present a wide range of AC challenges. Aging clay tile drain lines and knob-and-tube wiring in pre-1950 homes add complexity to hvac installations. Whether your system is blowing warm air, short-cycling, or refusing to start, our techs arrive stocked with parts for same-day repairs.

A community shaped by the patrick cudahy meatpacking heritage and smith steel manufacturing, Burkhardt has built its reputation one repair at a time. We work on all major brands — Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Rheem, and Mitsubishi — and carry parts for current models and older units throughout Cudahy's pre-war housing corridors. Upfront pricing before we start, always.

Common repairs: refrigerant leaks and recharges, failed capacitors or contactors, frozen evaporator coils, condenser fan motor failures, thermostat faults, and restricted airflow from dirty coils. Homes built in the 1920s–40s frequently have 60-amp service panels and original ductwork that must be evaluated before any new system install.

For systems over 12–15 years old, we provide an honest repair-vs.-replacement comparison. GreenSky financing is available for larger repairs or full replacements. Call 414-206-3049 anytime.

Thermostat and Controls

If your AC isn't cooling properly, the issue may be your thermostat rather than the unit itself. We diagnose and repair all thermostat types — programmable, smart (Nest, Ecobee, Honeywell), and standard models. Incorrect thermostat settings, dead batteries, faulty wiring, or a thermostat placed in direct sunlight can all cause cooling problems. We'll pinpoint the issue and get your system running right.

We offer 24/7 emergency service and aim for same-day response throughout Cudahy. For non-emergency calls, we typically schedule within 24–48 hours. Our trucks leave from Brown Deer each morning, keeping drive times to Cudahy short.

What are the most common reasons an AC stops cooling properly?

The most frequent causes are low refrigerant due to a leak, a failed capacitor or contactor in the outdoor unit, a dirty evaporator coil restricting airflow, or a faulty thermostat. Our NATE-certified technicians diagnose all of these on the first visit and carry the most common parts for same-day repair.
