Big Bend homeowners along the Fox River who need a new boiler installed can trust Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric to handle the project with the expertise and care it deserves. Our NATE-certified technicians have been installing boilers across the Milwaukee area and Waukesha County for over 60 years — and we bring that depth of experience to every Big Bend installation.
We install all types of residential boilers: high-efficiency condensing boilers, traditional hot water boilers, steam boiler replacements, combi boilers, and propane-fired systems. Every installation begins with a heat load calculation that accounts for your Big Bend home's specific size, construction, and heating requirements — not a rough estimate.
Big Bend's proximity to the Fox River means some homes have elevated basement humidity that can affect boiler room conditions. We factor this into equipment selection and installation design, ensuring proper venting, condensate management, and materials that hold up in challenging environments.
For Big Bend homeowners who are considering adding radiant floor heat as part of a remodel or addition, a new boiler installation is the ideal time to design in that capability. We can install a boiler with mixing valve circuits for radiant zones alongside conventional distribution for the rest of the home.
GreenSky financing is available. Call Burkhardt at 414-206-3049 for your Big Bend boiler installation consultation.
**FAQs**
**Q: Our Big Bend home currently has electric baseboard heat.

Radiant Heating Systems
Many boiler systems in Southeastern Wisconsin power radiant floor heating — one of the most comfortable and energy-efficient heating methods available. Our technicians are experienced with hydronic radiant systems, including in-floor tubing, baseboard radiators, and cast iron radiator systems found in older Milwaukee-area homes. Whether you need radiant system repairs, zone valve replacement, or a new radiant floor installation, we handle the complete system.
We work on all boiler brands including Weil-McLain, Burnham, Buderus, Lochinvar, Navien, Slant/Fin, Crown, Peerless, and Utica. From cast iron steam boilers in older Milwaukee homes to modern high-efficiency condensing units, we've seen and repaired them all.
