Today's cold-climate heat pumps operate efficiently down to -13°F — making them a genuine year-round heating and cooling solution for Hales Corners homes. Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric installs both ducted central heat pump systems and ductless Mitsubishi mini-splits throughout Hales Corners, backed by 60+ years of local HVAC expertise.
Hales Corners's 1950s–70s ranch and split-level homes along W. Janesville Road, S. 108th Street, and the Root River Parkway greenbelt present varied installation scenarios. For homes with existing ductwork, a ducted heat pump paired with a gas furnace — a dual-fuel system — delivers peak efficiency in mild weather and full heating capacity in Wisconsin's coldest conditions. For rooms without duct access, Mitsubishi mini-split systems provide precise zone control without new duct construction.
Nestled between whitnall park and boerner botanical gardens, the village's bowl-like topography and clay soils create standing-water drainage challenges and basement humidity. Our crews account for outdoor unit placement, corrosion-resistant equipment selection, and drainage in every installation. We install Mitsubishi Electric, Lennox, and Carrier systems — all ENERGY STAR® certified and eligible for federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act.
One system handles both heating and cooling year-round, reducing equipment complexity and long-term operating costs. Our installation includes a full startup commissioning check and a walkthrough of your new system's operation. Federal tax credits of up to $2,000 are available for qualifying systems, and GreenSky financing makes the upfront investment manageable.

Can a heat pump handle Wisconsin winters in Hales Corners?
Yes — modern cold-climate heat pumps, including Mitsubishi's Hyper-Heating (H2i) line, maintain full heating capacity down to 5°F and operate in temperatures as low as -13°F. For Hales Corners homes where backup capacity is important, we often design dual-fuel systems that combine a heat pump with a gas furnace backup, giving you maximum efficiency in mild weather and full gas heat output when temperatures drop below the heat pump's optimal range.
What federal tax credits are available for heat pump installation?
The Inflation Reduction Act provides a federal tax credit of up to $2,000 per year for qualifying heat pump installations (25C credit). Qualifying systems must meet minimum efficiency standards — Burkhardt installs only ENERGY STAR-certified equipment that qualifies. Ask our comfort advisor for current eligibility details when you schedule your estimate.
