AC Repair in Glendale, WI

When your air conditioner breaks down during a Glendale summer, you need a technician who can diagnose the problem and get your home cool again — today. Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric has served Glendale homeowners for more than 60 years, and our NATE-certified technicians are available 24/7 for emergency AC repairs.

Glendale's 1950s–60s ranch and split-level homes along N. Fairfield Road, E. Silver Spring Drive, and the N. Port Washington Road corridor, plus multi-unit buildings near Bayshore present a wide range of AC challenges. The milwaukee river bluff corridor creates microclimatic variation across the village that affects heating and cooling loads. Whether your system is blowing warm air, short-cycling, or refusing to start, our techs arrive stocked with parts for same-day repairs.

Anchored by bayshore town center and the milwaukee river's scenic bluffs, 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 Glendale's riverside ranch-home neighborhoods. 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. Ranches and split-levels from the 1950s–60s along N. Jean Nicolet Road and N. Fairfield Road are entering the window where equipment replacement makes more financial sense than continued repair.

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.

How quickly can Burkhardt respond to an AC repair call in Glendale?

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