AC Repair in Shorewood, WI

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

Shorewood's pre-war Tudors, colonials, and brick bungalows along E. Capitol Drive and N. Oakland Avenue — over 54% of Shorewood homes were built before 1939 present a wide range of AC challenges. Steam and hot-water radiator systems in pre-war homes lack ductwork, making ac retrofits and forced-air upgrades a specialized job. 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 wisconsin's most densely developed villages, with an exceptionally old housing stock along the milwaukee river and n. oakland avenue corridor, 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 Shorewood's pre-war brick and Tudor 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. Original knob-and-tube wiring and 60-amp panels in the oldest homes complicate any HVAC install — Burkhardt's electricians and HVAC techs coordinate these upgrades together.

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 Shorewood?

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