AC Installation in Big Bend, WI

Choosing the right air conditioning system for your Big Bend home is a decision that will affect your comfort and energy bills for the next 15–20 years. Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric has helped Big Bend homeowners navigate that choice for over 60 years, and our NATE-certified technicians handle everything from load calculations and equipment selection through installation and startup — with GreenSky financing available to fit virtually any budget.

Big Bend's older homes in the compact Fox River village core and rural properties on larger parcels in Vernon Township, many with private well water and propane heat require careful system sizing. Fox river flood plain considerations affect basement mechanical systems, and waukesha county's hard groundwater accelerates scale in water heaters and humidifiers. An undersized unit will run constantly without reaching your set temperature; an oversized unit will short-cycle, leaving your home humid and uncomfortable even when the thermostat reads correctly. Our Manual J load calculations account for your home's insulation, window area, sun exposure, and occupancy before we ever recommend a system.

A quiet waukesha county village on a bend in the fox river, within fox river park and vernon township, every home has its own set of installation challenges. Rural properties on larger parcels throughout Vernon Township often rely on propane and private well systems — equipment our technicians service throughout Waukesha County. Burkhardt's installation crews are trained to work within the constraints of older construction — whether that means fabricating custom ductwork transitions, upgrading electrical service, or recommending a ductless mini-split for a room addition that can't be served by the existing duct system.

We install and warranty equipment from Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Rheem, and Mitsubishi Electric, covering the full range from budget-friendly single-stage systems to high-efficiency variable-speed inverter-driven equipment. Every installation includes a startup commissioning check, a walkthrough of your new system's operation, and our standard labor warranty.

What size AC system does a typical Big Bend home need?

System size depends on your home's square footage, ceiling height, insulation levels, window area, and sun exposure — not just square footage alone. Burkhardt performs a Manual J load calculation on every installation to ensure your new system is correctly sized for your specific Big Bend home, avoiding the comfort and efficiency problems that come with oversized or undersized equipment.

Do you offer financing for new AC installation?

Yes. Burkhardt offers GreenSky financing options, including promotional low-interest and deferred-interest plans, to make a new AC system affordable. Ask our comfort advisor about current promotions when you schedule your free in-home estimate.
