Our air conditioning unit went out completely and when we called Burkhardt they were very helpful, set up an appointment within a few days. When the technician (Elliot) came out he was on time, very professional, diagnosed the problem and repaired it all within a very reasonable time frame. He had to actually have another technician run for the part and bring it to our home to be installed instead of making a different appointment to install it. This company is great! There office staff is also extremely friendly and helpful everything we call. THANK YOU!

This is an addition to review, to recognize Kelly, who just came out today (5/10) to do A/C maintenance. Just as Chris and Oscar did a few weeks ago for heating maintenance, Kelly was on time, efficient, and courteous. We have an annual service contract with Burkhardt. The two gents who came today - Chris and Oscar (the latter being trained to Burkhardt's standards) were on time, polite (wore masks at our request), and did a thorough job of checking our furnace, as part of routine maintenance. Chris added realistic recommendations re possible additional services, such as installation of a humidifier. Great company, as reflected by Chris and Oscar.

Installed our furnace in November. Had a bad circuit board while I was away for work. They came and fixed it the next day. With fantastic communication. Spent the better part of the day to diagnose and fix the problem. Had an AC issue now that's it's warmer and they were out the next day to fix the problem as well. Quick fix but again, great communication and customer service! Dan, Greg, and Drew are superb technicians and everyone does a fantastic job. Highly recommended!

Elliot was very professional and did a great job of evaluating our need for 2 new furnaces. He explained everything very well and scheduled the work in a timely manner. Dan, Jr and Chico installed the furnaces and we couldn't be more pleased. They were courteous, professional and cleaned up everything after the work was done. It was a big job that took 8 hours, but they were so pleasant and kind that the time flew by ( for us)! If we need work in the future we would ask for this crew again.

We are really pleased with the service we received. Dean, Drew and Joe installed our new furnace in the Fall and were friendly and professional. Dean came back with Marc to install our AC unit and were so nice and efficient. Thank you for a job well done. Rick was also great with the electrical work he did for our new breaker box.

They care. I know that's an unusual thing to say, but they really do. I've had Burkhardt do work for me for over 20 years and have always been very pleased. This time, during a routine check, it came to light that my very old furnace needed to be replaced. The team was very concerned that this was a large unplanned expense, and offered to drop off space heaters to keep the house warm in the few days it would take before the installation. The day of the installation was handled with professionalism and skill. My new furnace is so much quieter and the sheet metal work looks great! Highly recommend!

Shawn was very professional, on time, very knowledgeable and informative. We have used Burkhardt for years and always very happy with them. Very accommodating and do great work! Update: We met with sales rep Elliot to discuss a new furnace, he answered all our questions (we had many!), scheduled furnace installation which was done just days later by Dean and Marc, they did a great job, left everything spotless and we are thrilled that our house is warm and cozy once again! Everyone we dealt with from office staff to installers was A ++! Thanks Burkhardt!
