When summer arrives in New Berlin, 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 New Berlin's predominantly 1960s and 1970s ranch-and-split-level stock spread across Waukesha County, accurate sizing matters in New Berlin.
**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 New Berlin homeowners can choose the right equipment — not just the cheapest option — and pay over time.
