Brown Deer residents know that Milwaukee's north shore is no stranger to severe weather. Wind events, ice storms, and summer thunderstorms regularly disrupt We Energies service in the area — and a whole-home standby generator from Generac means your family keeps the lights, heat, and sump pump running no matter what the grid does.
Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric is an authorized Generac dealer serving Brown Deer and surrounding communities. Generac is made right here in Waukesha County, and their generators are specifically built for Wisconsin's weather extremes. Our licensed electricians and plumbers handle the complete installation: site assessment, permit filing, gas line connection, transfer switch installation, and final commissioning — all coordinated by one company.
As a third-generation Milwaukee-area family business with 60+ years of experience, Burkhardt brings the same reliability to generator installation that we bring to every HVAC, electrical, and plumbing job. We don't subcontract key portions of your generator project — our own licensed technicians handle it from start to finish.
For Brown Deer homeowners with sump pumps, medical equipment, or simply an unwillingness to endure extended outages in Wisconsin winters, a Generac standby generator is one of the best investments you can make in your home. Automatic transfer switches mean your generator starts itself within seconds of a power failure — no action required on your part.
GreenSky financing makes the investment manageable. Call Burkhardt at 414-206-3049 to start your Brown Deer generator project.
