Mequon's large custom homes along Port Washington Road, Bonniwell Road, and the rural corridors to the north represent some of the most electrically complex residential properties on Burkhardt's service map. Homes of 3,000 to 5,000 square feet or larger — with multiple HVAC systems, pools, outbuildings, and increasingly EV chargers and whole-home generators — require panel configurations that go well beyond the standard 200-amp residential service.
Many Mequon estate homes from the 1980s and 1990s were built with 200-amp panels that were state of the art at the time, but have been outpaced by subsequent additions and new technology. Upgrading to 400-amp service or installing a properly sized subpanel is increasingly common in Mequon. Burkhardt's licensed electricians work with We Energies to coordinate service upgrades for large properties and design panel configurations that provide long-term capacity for growing loads.
Older Mequon properties near the city's southern border, closer to Brown Deer Road, may have electrical infrastructure from the 1960s and 1970s — including Federal Pacific panels in homes from that era. These properties often need more comprehensive electrical updates as they change hands or undergo renovation.
Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric's licensed electricians serve all of Mequon with panel upgrades, service entrance upgrades, circuit additions, EV charger installation, automatic standby generator installation and connection, outlet and switch repair, and whole-home rewiring for major renovations. Burkhardt is available 24/7 for electrical emergencies. GreenSky financing is available.

My Mequon home has a 200-amp panel but I want to add two EV chargers and a whole-home generator. Is that feasible?
Probably not without a service upgrade or load management. Two Level 2 EV chargers plus a generator transfer plus existing household load will exceed a standard 200-amp service. Burkhardt will calculate your load profile and recommend either a 400-amp service upgrade, a subpanel, or a combination with smart load management devices.
Does Burkhardt install automatic standby generators in Mequon?
Yes. Burkhardt installs the full electrical infrastructure for automatic standby generators — automatic transfer switches, connection to the generator's control system, and integration with your home's panel. We work with gas and propane-powered generators and coordinate with We Energies where required.
My older Mequon home near Brown Deer Road has a Federal Pacific panel. What is involved in replacing it?
Replacing a Federal Pacific panel involves installing a new panel box, transferring all circuits, upgrading the service entrance if needed, and scheduling a utility disconnect for the meter work. Burkhardt handles the full project including permits and inspection. Most residential panel replacements take one day.
