Hartland's electrical service landscape reflects the village's mix of older downtown neighborhoods and newer subdivisions. The 1960s and 1970s ranch homes along Cottonwood Avenue and the Capitol Drive corridor were typically built with 100-amp service panels — adequate for the era but strained by today's appliance and EV charging loads. Federal Pacific panels appear in some of Hartland's older housing, and Burkhardt's electricians address those replacement needs regularly.
The newer subdivisions south and east of Hartland's center, developed in the 1980s and 1990s, stepped up to 150 or 200-amp service — but those panels are now 30 to 40 years old and may be showing age. Circuit breakers that no longer hold their rated load, corroded bus bars, and outdated wiring methods from that era are all within the scope of what Burkhardt's electricians encounter and repair in Lake Country homes.
Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric's licensed electricians serve Hartland with panel replacement, service upgrades to 200-amp, circuit additions, outlet and switch repair, EV charger installation, generator transfer switch installation, and AFCI and GFCI protection. For Hartland homeowners planning to add an EV charger, we calculate your current load and recommend the most efficient path — whether that is a direct circuit addition, a load management device, or a panel upgrade.

My Hartland home has a 100-amp panel from the 1970s. What is involved in upgrading to 200-amp?
A service upgrade involves replacing the meter base and service entrance conductors (coordinated with We Energies), installing a new 200-amp panel, and transferring existing circuits. The utility coordinates a brief power interruption for the meter work. Burkhardt handles the full project and pulls all required permits. Most upgrades are completed in one day.
Can Burkhardt add a generator hookup to my Hartland home?
Yes. Burkhardt installs manual transfer switches, interlock kits, and automatic transfer switches for both portable and standby generators. A properly installed generator hookup safely disconnects utility power and prevents backfeed onto the grid — protecting both your home and linemen working on outages. Call 414-206-3049.
What causes outlets to stop working in a Hartland home?
The most common cause is a tripped GFCI outlet upstream — GFCI outlets protect other outlets on the same circuit. Check all GFCI outlets in the kitchen, bathrooms, garage, and exterior for a tripped condition. If no GFCI is tripped, a breaker may have failed, or a connection inside a junction box may have loosened. Burkhardt diagnoses dead outlets promptly.
