  • How do I know if my air conditioner needs repair or replacement?

    In our experience, if your system is over 10 to 15 years old, needs frequent repairs, struggles to cool evenly, or causes high energy bills, replacement may be more cost-effective than AC repairs.
  • How much does it cost to repair an air conditioner?

    Repair costs vary depending on the specific issue, but, according to Home Advisor, if your unit is beyond 15 years old, needs constant fixes, can't cool your home consistently, or is significantly increasing your utility bills, investing in a replacement usually makes better financial sense than air conditioner repairs.
  • How much does a new AC system cost?

    Installation pricing depends on system size, efficiency rating (SEER), home size, ductwork condition, and brand. A professional evaluation is the best way to get an accurate estimate. Contact our team at Burke Heating and Air today for all of your AC repair and installation needs.
  • How long does AC installation take?

    Most residential air conditioning installations can be completed in one day, in our experience, though larger or more complex systems may take longer. Whether you need a new air conditioning unit installed or need air conditioner repairs, our team has you covered. Contact us today!
  • What size air conditioner do I need for my home?

    System size depends on square footage, insulation, ceiling height, windows, and local climate. A load calculation ensures proper sizing. When you choose Burke Heating and Air for your air conditioner installation or AC repairs, you can be sure you're working with experienced professionals.
  • Why is my AC running but not cooling?

    Common causes include low refrigerant, dirty coils, clogged filters, thermostat issues, or airflow problems. A technician can quickly diagnose the issue and help you with the necessary AC repairs.
  • How often should I service my air conditioner?

    We recommend that AC systems be professionally serviced at least once a year, ideally in the spring, to ensure efficiency and prevent breakdowns or the need for AC repair.
  • What temperature should I set my thermostat in summer?

    Our team recommends setting your thermostat around 75 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit when you're home and higher when you're away for energy efficiency and comfort balance. For more information or to set up an appointment for air conditioner repairs, contact our office today.
  • How long does an air conditioner typically last?

    In our experience, most systems last 10 to 15 years with proper maintenance, though regular service and AC repair can extend lifespan.
  • Do you offer emergency or same-day AC repair?

    Yes, we offer emergency or same-day air conditioner repairs for breakdowns. We understand that cooling failures during hot weather need immediate attention.
