    He Exemplified Customer Service
    Chris was awesome. He did exactly what I needed and didn’t push me into doing something I wasn’t comfortable with. He exemplified customer service, hats off. My AC is working and isn’t making any bubbling noises or freezing up so far. Best part, it was cheaper than the initial estimate to top my refrigerant off, and he threw in the deal for free diagnostics with a website coupon. He did warn me that it’s only a matter of time but respected my wants and needs too. Overall, I had a great experience, and you guys got me dialed in. Thank you.

    Danny did a great job

    Fantastic AC Maintenance Job
    Ricardo was so knowledgeable and did a fantastic job on the maintenance of my air conditioning unit. He even cleaned the outside unit and fixed the insulation. I hope Burkhardt sends him back in the fall for the furnace.

    Great to Be Home in Milwaukee
    I thought I should share a further, nice Burkhardt HVAC experience. My 7-year-old Lennox central A/C system went down earlier this week. The prior owner of my condo purchased it from Home Depot. I was told by multiple people and from online info that the Depot sells a cut-rate quality Lennox product, something that caught me by surprise given Lennox's good reputation. So, when my 7-year-old Lennox central air system stopped working, I was prepared for either a big repair bill or even replacement, given my info and research on the Internet. Alex M., my Burkhardt repairman, came out as scheduled and did his examination of the system. It needed but a new capacitor and that's that. I appreciate not only the minor repair work and fee, but the honesty. I had been nearly ripped off from a competitor HVAC/electrical services company earlier this year for a simple bit of electric system renovations concern. It was great to know that Burkhardt once more treated me courteously and quickly with fine service, but also very honestly, too. I'm impressed. I lived in Chicago for a long time and dealt with very shady vendors of home services. It's great to be home in Milwaukee and have such fine vendors of services like Burkhardt. -- Mike Bjordal, Northridge Lakes

    Great Tune-Up Service on Our Two AC Units
    Great tune-up service on our two AC units by Danny. Thorough inspection, helpful recommendations—thanks!
    Christopher Gawronski
    Danny was fantastic!
    Danny was fantastic! I called about an issue with my AC, and he came out the same day. He found the problem right away and gave me options for fixing it with very clear explanations and recommendations to help extend the life of my AC unit. He was so kind and sweet! Would highly recommend.
    Elizabeth Margrett
    Top notch service from Sher
    I had a tune-up check on my A/C unit that was installed by Burkhardt 4 years ago and on our new furnace they replaced for us last year. Top notch service from technician Sher, who went over everything in great detail!
    Brad Loeck
    Our Technician Came Out Within the Time Frame
    Our technician came out within the time frame given and got right down to checking out why our central AC had stopped abruptly [& during relatively moderate temperatures--high 70's, low 80's]. It was a simple fix but he checked over everything else. All good. I've successfully used Burkhardt before for heating. Recommended.

    My cooling system wasn’t working
    My cooling system wasn’t working and Ryan came in and fixed it for me. He was very nice, thank you.

    Friendly and Professional Service
    Ricardo serviced our broken AC unit. He was very friendly and professional. I really appreciate how he explained the issue and provided an efficient, cost-effective fix to the problem!

    Courteous and Professional Service
    Jake came out early this morning to fix our A/C unit. He was courteous, professional, and explained everything in detail. We are back up and running. Thanks, Jake and the Burkhardt Brookfield team.

    Unit has been working like a charm
    My Bryant unit was alerting constantly that there was an issue communicating with my outside unit. It was really hot that weekend too! Chris came out, quickly identified the issue (bad control board), and replaced it for me. Unit has been working like a charm ever since. They also did 3 tune-ups on my AC units. My tech, Alex, was super focused, very friendly, and not once tried to hard sell me on anything. Everyone at Burkhardt is very pleasant to work with, and I couldn't be happier!
    Jessica Benzakein
    Service tech Alex M was prompt, efficient, and thorough
    Had AC tune-up performed. Service tech Alex M was prompt, efficient, and thorough. He offered a suggestion to help with boosting cooling in my 3-zone house to help on really hot days that I hadn't been aware of.
    Randall Johnson
    Excellent and Honest Customer Service
    The tech who repaired my AC unit, Jake, was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. The work was done in a timely manner at a reasonable cost. The repair required one $200 part, and I was never pushed to getting a whole new system. Even with my AC going out on one of the hottest days of the year, Becca was able to dispatch the tech the next day. Excellent and honest customer service, and I would definitely recommend this business to anyone.

    Common Questions
    • What's the difference between central and ductless AC?
      Central AC systems use ductwork to distribute cool air throughout a home. Ductless systems, also known as mini-splits, don’t use ducts and allow for independent temperature control in different areas. This can provide more flexibility and energy savings for individual spaces.
    • How often should my AC be serviced?
      It's recommended to service your air conditioner at least once a year. Regular maintenance ensures your system runs efficiently, extends its lifespan, and can help prevent costly breakdowns. Typically, the best time for an AC tune-up is in the spring before the cooling season begins.
    • How long does an AC unit last?
      AC units typically last 10 to 15 years with proper maintenance. Longevity depends on usage, climate, and how well the unit is maintained. Regular servicing can often extend the life of your system.
    • What maintenance tasks can I do myself?
      You can regularly clean or replace the air filter, keep the outdoor unit free of debris, and check the thermostat settings. Always ensure vents are open and unobstructed. For more technical tasks, like refrigerant checks or electrical issues, it's best to contact a professional.
