Report
Mike Gagney our Burkholders technician arrived on time, and began working right away. He was very polite and explained in detail what he was going to do. with the A/C unit. I would recommend Burkholder sales and service to anyone. Service: A/C system maintenance

Report
We needed our AC condenser moved so that we could install a deck in back without having to build around the condenser. Burkholder's schedule was very full, but they sent a team out quickly to disconnect and move the unit so the deck crew would not be held up. And then a few days later, they returned to install the condenser in its new location. We have been happy customers for probably 20 years now.
