AC Repair in Jackson, WI

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

Jackson's first-generation 2000s-era subdivision homes along STH 60 and STH 45, plus older farmsteads on Highway 60 with propane heat present a wide range of AC challenges. Washington county's hard water accelerates scale buildup in water heaters and humidifier systems attached to forced-air furnaces. Whether your system is blowing warm air, short-cycling, or refusing to start, our techs arrive stocked with parts for same-day repairs.

One of washington county's fastest-growing communities, pushing west along the sth 60 and us-45 corridors, 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 Jackson's growing suburban and rural-edge 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. Many 2000s-era subdivisions in Jackson now have first-generation furnaces and AC units that are 20+ years old and entering their replacement window.

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 Jackson?

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