Burkholder's HVAC - 'Treat Your Customers the Way You Would Like to be Treated'

Burkholder's Heating and Air Conditioning in Emmaus was founded on the principle that if you give your customers quality products and service at a fair price, your business will grow.

When and how did your business get started?
In 1960 my dad, Carl Burkholder, started this business on one basic philosophy. Treat your customers the way you would like to be treated, deliver quality products and service at a fair price and your business will grow. Anyone who knew Carl over the years would tell you, he lived that philosophy every day. He was the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back.

Why did you choose the town you did to open your business?
Living in Emmaus, my dad opened Burkholder's Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. in a small shed after marrying my mother and having served in the Navy.  

What is your business best known for?
We are a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer. What does that mean??? It means that many other HVAC businesses may sell Carrier products but only a few can say they are CFAD, Burkholder's HVAC can offer our customers instant rebates on Cool Cash Deals as well as better pricing & financing rates through Carrier.

We service, repair, install and build design for all Heating and Air Conditioning systems and any brands for both residential and commercial customers.

What's something interesting about your business your customers might not know?
Burkholder's HVAC believes in giving back to our community. We seek out local not for profit businesses and raise awareness through our social media sites and in-house advertisements. This year we were proud to help Pinebrook Family Services, Allentown Rescue Mission and are currently promoting Mercy Special Learning Center. If you "Like Us" on Facebook before December 2013 we will donate $5 to Mercy Special Learning Center (up to $1000). As of today we are up to $690 raised for Mercy.   

Does your business offer a special deals card or program?
We are currently offering special deals on Whole Home Humidifiers ($100) off for the AprilAire 400 model. This promotion will run through Feb 28, 2014.
We are also offering a $79 Oil Burner Tune up (that's a 60% discount from our regular price). Additionally we offer a $65 HVAC inspection, (not a cleaning) but a necessary inspection to ensure there are no dangers with your systems and to ensure you are getting your moneys worth when it comes to energy.
