1949 years of experience

Harker Heating & Cooling set out in 1949 to provide our customers with the very best quality heating and cooling services available in Madison, WI. Together with our staff, vendors, friends and family, we’ve been able to sustain a company that has always been focused on our customer’s needs. For this to happen we hold firm in the importance of supporting and taking good care of our staff. We believe in a quote from Simon Sinek, who wrote, “Customers will never love a company until the employees love it first.” It all starts at the core. From there, after more than 60 years serving Dane County, gratefully, we’re able to continue the journey.

"Would not recommend. I called them out to take a look at my furnace that stopped working. They fixed it, replaced a gas valve that went bad. But instead of charging me for the labor to replace the valve, they charged me half of the cost of the part which was almost $1100. I had to argue with the service department for 20 minutes just to get them to knock $100 off, but I still was grossly overcharged for the service performed. I will not be using them again."

"Great communication with the office staff. Both a plumber and electrician came out last week. Garrett was the electrician who installed 3 ceiling fans where there were no ceiling fans previously. I ordered the fans on-line and they came un-assembled. He had no problem figuring out how to assemble and install the fans. He made sure I was completely satisfied before he left. The plumber just had to cap off a gas stove that was no longer going to be used. When he turned the gas back on, he made sure the seal with tight and that my gas fireplace was still working properly. Could not be more pleased with the office staff and professionals who worked on my issues. Will definitely use them again."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Signs your water heater is about to fail include: a unit older than ten years, rust water coming from your faucets, banging and rumbling noises when you call for hot water, and leaks coming from the tank. You might also notice a foul odor when you turn on your hot water, akin to rotten eggs or sulfur. Of course, your water heater might also need replacement if your water doesn’t stay hot or takes longer to heat up.

If you are having trouble determining the right breaker size for your water heater, it is a great idea to contact an electrician near you to help. They can help you determine the best option for your home and install the circuit breaker for you, ensuring that you have all the proper permits and that your circuit breaker won’t overload, which could lead to fire and other damage.

Several things can void the warranty for your water heater. Many water heater manufacturers state that installing your own will void the warranty. However, even if you get away with performing the task yourself, incorrect installation, lack of a building permit, and improper repair work, regardless of licensing status, can all render your water heater unprotected by both the manufacturer's warranty and any installation warranties. 

The time it takes to replace a water heater depends on the complexity of the job. Expect your contractor to spend:

  • One to three hours on a standard tank-style water heater replacement

  • Two to three hours on a tankless water heater replacement

  • Four to six hours replacing a tank-style water heater with a tankless water heater

  • One hour for each additional parallel or point-of-use water heater

Your project will take longer if you’re switching fuel sources, upgrading to tankless, or relocating your water heater.

Water heaters seldom ever burst, but when they do, you should know the warning signs to protect your home. The biggest sign that your water heater is about to burst is a sulfuric smell. If your home inexplicably smells like rotten eggs, then this could be an indication of a gas leak in your gas water heater. If gas leaks out of the unit, it could ignite and cause an explosion, so you should immediately shut off the gas and call a plumber near you to inspect your water heater.
