West Bend is Washington County's largest city, and its diverse housing stock — from downtown Victorian-era homes to modern subdivisions on the north and south sides — creates a wide range of electrical repair needs. Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric brings 60+ years of licensed electrical expertise to West Bend homeowners and property managers.
Our electricians repair all common residential electrical issues: dead outlets, tripping breakers, flickering lights, damaged wiring, GFCI and AFCI circuit failures, switch and dimmer malfunctions, and service entrance problems. West Bend's mix of older downtown neighborhoods and newer outlying subdivisions means we work on everything from original knob-and-tube systems to modern circuit breaker panels with arc-fault protection.
As a third-generation family business, Burkhardt approaches every job in West Bend the same way: we show up when we say we will, we give you an honest diagnosis, and we repair what actually needs fixing. Our electricians are licensed and insured, and all work is completed to current Wisconsin electrical code. We pull permits and coordinate inspections when required.
West Bend residents also benefit from our broader home services expertise — if an electrical repair visit reveals related issues with HVAC, plumbing, or other systems, we can often address those in the same visit without scheduling a separate contractor.
GreenSky financing is available. Call Burkhardt at 414-206-3049 to schedule your West Bend electrical repair.
**FAQs**
**Q: Our older West Bend home has a fuse box instead of a circuit breaker panel. Can you repair it?** A: We can service and repair fuse boxes, but we'll also give you an honest assessment of whether upgrading to a modern breaker panel makes financial and safety sense for your home.
**Q: We keep blowing fuses in our West Bend kitchen. What's the likely cause?** A: Kitchen fuse blowing usually indicates an overloaded circuit — modern kitchens have far more high-draw appliances than older homes were wired for. Adding dedicated circuits is typically the permanent fix.
EV Charger Installation
As electric vehicles become more common across Southeastern Wisconsin, many homeowners need a Level 2 EV charger installed in their garage. This typically requires a dedicated 240-volt, 50-amp circuit from your electrical panel — and in older homes, a panel upgrade to handle the additional load. Our licensed electricians handle the complete installation: panel assessment, circuit addition, charger mounting, and final inspection. We install all major EV charger brands including ChargePoint, Tesla Wall Connector, JuiceBox, and Grizzl-E.
We install and service panels from Square D, Eaton/Cutler-Hammer, Siemens, and GE. For generators, we're authorized Generac installers — headquartered right here in Waukesha, WI.
