West Bend sits at the edge of the Kettle Moraine and experiences some of Washington County's most dramatic weather — severe thunderstorms, ice storms, and wind events that can leave homes without power for days. For West Bend homeowners, a Generac whole-home standby generator installed by Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric provides the peace of mind that comes from knowing your home is always protected.
Burkhardt is an authorized Generac dealer. Generac, headquartered in Waukesha, Wisconsin, is the nation's most trusted residential standby generator brand — and their units are proven in the exact climate conditions West Bend experiences. Our licensed electricians and plumbers handle the entire installation: load assessment, permit coordination with the City of West Bend, natural gas line work, automatic transfer switch installation, and commissioning.
West Bend's mix of established downtown neighborhoods and newer outlying subdivisions means we work with homes of all ages and electrical configurations. Newer West Bend homes in modern subdivisions often already have 200-amp service and updated panels that simplify generator integration. Older downtown homes may need a service evaluation alongside the generator consultation — we'll provide an honest assessment of both.
Generac generators start automatically when utility power fails and shut off when it returns. For West Bend homeowners who travel or simply don't want to worry about manual startup during a storm, the automatic operation is especially valuable.
GreenSky financing is available. Call Burkhardt at 414-206-3049 for your West Bend generator consultation.
