Milwaukee's older neighborhoods are filled with homes that have relied on boiler heat for decades — and when the time comes to replace an aging system, getting the new boiler installation right is critical for decades of reliable comfort. Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric has been Milwaukee's trusted boiler installation company for over 60 years, with NATE-certified technicians who design and install boiler systems with precision.
We install all types of residential boilers: high-efficiency gas condensing boilers, traditional cast-iron hot water boilers, steam boiler replacements, combi boilers that provide both space heat and domestic hot water, and hydronic radiant floor heating systems. Our installation process includes a complete heat load calculation for your Milwaukee home, boiler sizing, selection of the right equipment, proper venting configuration, zone planning, and full system startup and testing.
For Milwaukee's older steam-heated homes, boiler replacement requires specific expertise in steam system dynamics — the boiler must be properly matched to the existing piping and radiator volume. Our technicians understand steam system sizing and apply this knowledge to every installation, ensuring your new boiler delivers comfortable, even heat throughout your home.
High-efficiency condensing boilers — with AFUE ratings of 90% or better — deliver significant fuel savings compared to older equipment and may qualify for We Energies rebates. We help Milwaukee homeowners navigate available incentives as part of the installation process.
GreenSky financing is available for boiler installations. Call Burkhardt at 414-206-3049 for your Milwaukee boiler installation consultation.
**FAQs**
**Q: How do I know what size boiler my Milwaukee home needs?** A: Proper sizing requires a Manual J heat load calculation based on your home's size, insulation levels, window area, and construction type — not just the old boiler's size. Burkhardt performs this calculation to specify the right boiler.
**Q: Are high-efficiency condensing boilers worth the higher upfront cost in Milwaukee?** A: For most Milwaukee homes, yes. A 95% AFUE condensing boiler versus an 80% unit saves a meaningful percentage of fuel costs annually — and with Wisconsin's gas bills and long heating seasons, payback periods are often attractive.

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.
