Big Bend homeowners along the Fox River in Waukesha County know that reliable winter heat is non-negotiable. When a boiler breaks down in the depth of a Wisconsin winter, Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric provides the fast, skilled boiler repair service that gets heat back on quickly and correctly.
Our NATE-certified technicians service and repair all residential boiler types: gas hot water boilers, steam systems, high-efficiency condensing boilers, combi boilers, and propane-fired systems. We diagnose and repair ignition failures, pressure issues, circulator pump failures, zone valve malfunctions, expansion tank problems, leaking components, and heat exchanger concerns.
Big Bend's riverside location means some homes face elevated humidity and moisture conditions in basements and utility areas where boilers are typically located. Our technicians assess boiler room conditions and component corrosion as part of every service call, flagging issues that could compromise the system's reliability before they cause a failure.
As a third-generation family business with 60+ years of Milwaukee-area heating experience, Burkhardt is a trusted partner for Big Bend and Waukesha County homeowners. We provide honest assessments — if a repair makes sense, we'll do it right; if replacement is the better path, we'll tell you why and help you plan accordingly.

**FAQs**
**Q: My Big Bend boiler stopped working after a flood in my basement. Is it safe to restart it?** A: Do not restart a boiler that has been exposed to flood water without a professional inspection first. Water can damage electrical components, gas valves, and controls in ways that create safety hazards. Call us before attempting to restart.
**Q: The burner on my Big Bend boiler lights but shuts off after a few minutes. What causes that?** A: Short cycling of this type often indicates a flame sensor or heat exchanger problem, a pressure fault, or a control board issue. Each requires different diagnosis — our technicians will identify the specific cause.

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.
