Generator Installation in Jackson, WI

Jackson homeowners in Washington County enjoy a peaceful semi-rural setting — but that setting comes with a trade-off: power outages here can be longer than in denser urban areas, with utility crews stretched thinner across a larger service territory. A Generac whole-home standby generator installed by Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric means those outages simply don't affect your household.

Burkhardt is an authorized Generac dealer serving Jackson and surrounding Washington County communities. Generac, built right here in Waukesha, Wisconsin, engineers its standby generators for Wisconsin winters — reliable starting in subzero temperatures, built to run for extended periods on natural gas or propane. Our licensed electricians and plumbers manage your complete installation: site assessment, permit filing, gas line work, automatic transfer switch installation, and commissioning.

Jackson's rural-adjacent properties often feature detached garages, workshops, and outbuildings that may also benefit from generator coverage. We can design a system that extends backup power beyond the main house when needed, covering well pumps, livestock facilities, or hobby farm equipment.

For Jackson homes on propane rather than natural gas service, Generac offers propane-compatible models — our team will advise on the right fuel configuration for your property and coordinate tank sizing with your propane supplier.

GreenSky financing is available. Call Burkhardt at 414-206-3049 to start your Jackson generator project.
