Generator Installation in Shorewood, WI

Shorewood's dense north shore neighborhood is full of beautiful older homes with mature tree canopy — stunning in every season, but a real source of power outage risk during storms. For Shorewood homeowners who want reliable, automatic backup power, Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric installs Generac whole-home standby generators.

Burkhardt is an authorized Generac dealer. Generac, headquartered in Waukesha, is North America's leading standby generator brand and is built specifically for midwestern weather conditions. Our licensed team handles every aspect of your installation: load assessment, Shorewood Village permit coordination, natural gas line connection, automatic transfer switch installation, and final startup testing.

As a third-generation Milwaukee-area family business with 60+ years of experience, Burkhardt coordinates the entire generator project in-house. Our electricians and plumbers collaborate on every installation — you get one company managing everything, one clear price, and one point of contact for questions.

Shorewood's older character homes often have 100-amp electrical services that need evaluation before a transfer switch is added. Our team will assess your existing service and panel as part of the generator consultation, and advise if any upgrades are needed alongside the generator installation.

GreenSky financing is available. Call Burkhardt at 414-206-3049 to schedule your Shorewood generator consultation.

**FAQs**

**Q: My Shorewood home has a 100-amp service. Is that enough for a Generac generator?** A: A 100-amp service can support a standby generator, but we'll assess whether your existing panel has room for a transfer switch interlock or whether a service upgrade makes sense alongside the generator installation.

**Q: What warranty does Generac provide on residential standby generators?** A: Generac residential standby generators come with a 5-year limited warranty. Burkhardt, as an authorized dealer, handles warranty service locally — no shipping units or dealing with out-of-state repair centers.

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.
