Beware Burkhardt! Our repair went badly. I suspected the pilot assembly was bad, and pointed this out to the technician. He spent about 1/2 hour and verified the problem. He didn't have the part on his truck, and sent another employee to pick up the part. That employee got the wrong part, and so the mechanic drove from the East Side to Germantown and picked up the part and returned. The install took another approximately 1/2 hour. When I inquired about the high cost ($633), Burkhardt cited 3-1/2 hours on the job. (They also refused to tell me the cost of the part, saying the job was :"flat rate." I checked online and found a price range for the part of $40 to $89. This were retail costs, so I assume Burkhardt probably didn't pay more than $50 for the part.) So, we paid what appears to be about $150 to $200/hour to have a trained mechanic fetch a part from a supplier located in another county. Incredible! Most reputable shops don't send expensive mechanics to pick up parts--they have drivers paid much less. Very disappointing experience.

Response from Burkhardt Heating & Air Conditioning
The customer called for a no heat service call. We went out there as soon as worked for the customer. We told them upfront when they called that there is a diagnostics charge and then we will tell them what needs to be repaired. Our NATE certified technician of over 35+ years followed through on that and received approval. Customer wanted repaired that day. We contacted local supply house and ordered the parts and assembly from this boiler that is not very well supported in our area. Getting the right parts (brand specific) required extensive time on the phone with the supply house. This is why we flat rate these repairs. Technicians are ones that pickup the parts normally so that it is taken from start to finish. So, as our 17 consecutive years of Angie's List Super Service Awards by our over 670+ reviews, we make every effort to perform the job completely and thoroughly. The time for our technician includes complete diagnostics not just parts changing. We arrived back on the job and performed the repair, which also included fully testing the system since your assembly had burnt up. You paid for the service right at that time with no complaint. If you want the internet to perform the repair please ask it how much that would be. Our cost on that part and assembly was more that what you noted. I am not sure that the mechanic comparison is fair since we are coming to your house with a fully stocked parts inventory. When I contacted you to talk about this you asked if you were paying for my technicians lunch. You questioned our integrity, honesty and work ethic with your statements and would not allow for any conversation. We can only work with people that want to work together as many thousands of happy customers found since 1961.

They were so wonderful. When my furnace went out 2 years ago on the coldest night in February, on a Friday, they put together a team even though they don't work on Saturdays to install a new furnace to make sure I would be warm. They're always there when I need them.

It was seamless. Honestly, you wouldn't even have known they were there. I have a tight stairway. They brought parts in and out of the basement and were extremely conscientious to not hit the walls/ doors. Took time when done to go over the some basic items regarding the furnace and thermostat and verify they would come back in spring to be sure air conditioner is working too. Very professional, very courteous.

I called first once I knew we had a problem since we weren't getting any heat. I didn't have access to a computer so I called Angie's List for help and this company was the first vendor I was referred to. After hearing all the awards and reviews they have, I didn't bother getting another provider to call. They were phenomenal, the best HVAC company I've ever dealt with. The person who came out was completely down-to-earth, didn't pressure me into anything, and just had great people skills. The effiency of the company was great. They made sure to get someone out to us fast so we weren't inconvenienced. The pricing was above competitive. The pilot light went out the day after they were here, so I called them, and was told that the guy who came out before was out on another job. I told them that I didn't want anyone new because he knew everything about the situation and this company went out of their way to get him out to us and he we was here within half an hour. They didn't even charge us for coming out again either.

The service person was unpleasant. I've been with them for years, so the last, in 2015, service I received, that was good, very good, I thought, and the person came in and explained some things, but the prior year that I had someone come out, that wasn't so good. The person that came out just kind of came in and I wasn't even quite sure if he really did anything. He didn't share any information. I've only used them, so I don't know price-wise. I thought they were a little bit overpriced.

Yes, we did come out to your home to investigate your call of a water leak from the furnace. We let you know the leak that you were experiencing was not from the furnace but rather it was coming from the main plumbing stack. We referred you to call a plumber since we do not do that type of plumbing work. Sorry you felt we did 'nothing'.

Their receptionist or office manager, whatever she was. You stand behind this door. There were a few dogs, birds. just animals everywhere. Every Time I was there, it was like bring your animal to work day. But it was kinda normal, she said for them. The first I went, she said the pets need to be watched for some reason. I went a year later because the filters need to replaced every year. It was the same situation. One of those dogs was huge and he would jump up. I don't have time for that. I never went back after the second time and found an alternative filter. The dog never jumped on me. There was a counter that was between me and her but the dog would run at that counter with fierceness. I was afraid that it was going to jump over. It is kinda hard to know their personal situation but the office needs to be more personal.
