Shorewood's historic homes are some of the most beautiful in the Milwaukee area — and many of them are heated by boiler systems that are as old as the houses themselves, or nearly so. Whether it's a one-pipe steam system in a 1920s bungalow or a modern high-efficiency hot water boiler in a renovated Tudor, Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric provides the skilled boiler repair that Shorewood homeowners need.
Our NATE-certified technicians service and repair all boiler types: hot water boilers, steam boilers (one-pipe and two-pipe), combi boilers, and high-efficiency condensing systems. We diagnose and repair ignition failures, pressure problems, circulator pump and zone valve failures, steam trap issues, expansion tank faults, leaking components, and control board failures.
Shorewood's steam-heated homes in particular require technicians who understand the unique balance and maintenance requirements of steam heating. Steam traps, air vents, water level controls, and pressure settings all affect comfort and efficiency — and our team has the experience to evaluate and correct all of them.
As a third-generation Milwaukee-area family business with 60+ years of experience, Burkhardt has earned the trust of Shorewood homeowners through honest, knowledgeable service. We explain what we find, provide clear options, and do what we say we'll do.

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.
