Electrical Repair in Whitefish Bay, WI

Whitefish Bay's beautiful lakeside homes range from century-old Craftsman bungalows to modern new construction — and each era brings its own electrical challenges. Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric provides licensed electrical repair that meets the high standards Whitefish Bay homeowners expect.

Our electricians repair the full range of residential electrical issues: non-functional or sparking outlets, breakers that won't hold, flickering lights, damaged wiring, switch and dimmer failures, and GFCI or AFCI circuit problems. Many of the older homes along the north shore lakefront were built before modern electrical codes, and we have the experience to navigate these systems safely and correctly.

Burkhardt is a third-generation family business with over 60 years in the Milwaukee area. We understand that Whitefish Bay homeowners value quality craftsmanship and clear communication. Our electricians don't just fix the problem — they explain what caused it and how to prevent recurrence. All work is completed to current Wisconsin electrical code with proper permits when required.

We also recognize that homes near the lake face unique environmental challenges. Salt-laden air and seasonal humidity can accelerate corrosion in outdoor panels, weatherheads, and service entrances. We factor these conditions into every inspection and repair.

GreenSky financing is available for larger repair or upgrade projects. Don't let an electrical issue compromise your Whitefish Bay home's safety — call Burkhardt at 414-206-3049.

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.
