Cedarburg's historic Washington Avenue district and the surrounding residential streets contain some of the oldest homes on Burkhardt's service map. Limestone and cream city brick construction from the 1840s through the 1900s defines the city's core, but even the homes built in the early 20th century along Columbia Road and the neighborhoods north of Cedar Creek were constructed in an era when coal-fired steam boilers were the standard for multi-story residential heating.

Many of those systems were converted to gas over the decades — but the underlying cast iron boiler, radiator network, and steam distribution piping often remained in place. That means Cedarburg has a higher-than-average concentration of homes with steam and hot water boiler systems that are genuinely old. Maintaining and repairing these systems requires experience with vintage boiler configurations that most modern HVAC contractors rarely see.

Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric has been serving the Ozaukee County market for over 60 years. We regularly service cast iron sectional boilers, one-pipe and two-pipe steam systems, and baseboard hot water loops in Cedarburg's historic and early 20th-century homes. Common issues include failed steam traps, corroded supply and return piping near the boiler, waterlogged expansion tanks in hot water systems, and pressure relief valves that have exceeded their service life.

For Cedarburg's older homes, boiler failures in winter are not just uncomfortable — they can cause real damage to historic plaster, woodwork, and masonry if temperatures drop inside. Burkhardt's 24/7 emergency service is available year-round for urgent no-heat calls throughout Cedarburg and the surrounding Ozaukee County area. GreenSky financing is available for boiler replacements.

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.

My Cedarburg home has an old steam boiler. Can you service systems that old?

Yes. Burkhardt technicians are experienced with vintage steam boiler systems — including one-pipe and two-pipe steam configurations, gravity return systems, and cast iron sectional boilers common in Ozaukee County's older homes. We service what others won't, and we explain what we find in plain terms.

I have a historic Cedarburg home with original radiators. Do I need to replace the whole system?

Cast iron radiators are highly durable and often outlast multiple boilers. If your radiators are in good condition, a modern high-efficiency boiler can be piped to your existing distribution with no radiator replacement needed. Burkhardt can assess whether your existing system is worth retaining.

How urgently should I act if my Cedarburg boiler starts leaking?

Act promptly. A boiler leak that wets the floor is a nuisance; a boiler leak that indicates a cracked section or failed relief valve can become a serious problem quickly. Shut down the system and call Burkhardt at 414-206-3049. We offer 24/7 emergency response throughout Cedarburg.
