Greendale's tree-lined village streets are part of what makes it one of Milwaukee County's most charming communities — but those same trees can mean power outages when storms roll through. For Greendale homeowners who want to protect their homes automatically during outages, Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric installs and services Generac standby generators.
Generac is Wisconsin's own generator brand, headquartered in Waukesha, and they're the most installed standby generator in North America. As an authorized Generac dealer, Burkhardt handles everything from the first consultation to the final commissioning: load sizing, permit coordination with Greendale Village, natural gas line work, automatic transfer switch installation, and system startup. Our licensed electricians and plumbers manage the entire project in-house.
Greendale's original 1930s homes through modern additions present a range of electrical panel configurations — our team is equipped to integrate a Generac transfer switch with existing panels of all types, including older equipment. We assess each home individually and specify the right approach.
A Generac standby generator monitors your utility power continuously and starts automatically within seconds of an outage — protecting your sump pump, furnace, refrigerator, and other critical systems without any action on your part. When utility power returns, the generator shuts itself off just as automatically.
GreenSky financing is available. Call Burkhardt at 414-206-3049 for your Greendale generator consultation.
**FAQs**
**Q: My Greendale home is on a smaller lot in the original village area. Is there room for a generator?** A: Often yes. Compact Generac models like the 11kW or 13kW units have a small footprint. We'll assess your specific lot against village setback requirements during a free site visit.
**Q: Can Burkhardt service a Generac generator that was installed by someone else?** A: Yes. We service all Generac residential standby generators regardless of who installed them, including annual maintenance, warranty work, and repair calls.
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.
