Generator Installation in Port Washington, WI

Port Washington sits right on Lake Michigan — and Lake Michigan weather is no joke. Nor'easter-style wind events, winter ice storms, and severe summer thunderstorms regularly threaten utility service in Ozaukee County. For Port Washington homeowners who've endured one too many extended outages, a Generac standby generator from Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric is the permanent solution.

Burkhardt is an authorized Generac dealer serving Port Washington and the Ozaukee County lakeshore. Generac, a Wisconsin company based in Waukesha, builds generators engineered for exactly the conditions Port Washington experiences. Our licensed electricians and plumbers handle the complete installation: load sizing, permit coordination, gas line work, automatic transfer switch installation, and final commissioning.

Port Washington's mix of historic downtown homes, bluffside estates, and newer harborfront construction means our installers work across a range of property types and panel configurations. We bring the experience to handle all of them — from 100-year-old service entrances to modern 200-amp panels with sub-panels and whole-home surge protection.

As a third-generation family business with 60+ years of Milwaukee-area experience, Burkhardt manages your generator project from start to finish. One call, one team, one company responsible for your installation.

GreenSky financing is available. Call Burkhardt at 414-206-3049 for your Port Washington generator consultation.
