Milwaukee winters bring ice storms, heavy snow, and powerful winds that knock out utility power for hours — or days. For many Milwaukee homeowners, a whole-home standby generator is no longer a luxury; it's essential protection for sump pumps, medical equipment, refrigerators, and heating systems. Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric installs and services Generac standby generators throughout Milwaukee.
Generac is headquartered in Waukesha, Wisconsin — practically our neighbor — and their generators are engineered specifically for the Midwest's demanding climate conditions. As an authorized Generac dealer, Burkhardt handles everything: load assessment, permit coordination, propane or natural gas line connection, concrete pad installation, automatic transfer switch wiring, and commissioning. After installation, we provide ongoing maintenance and repair so your generator is always ready when Milwaukee's grid isn't.
Our licensed electricians and gas technicians have been serving Milwaukee for over 60 years. We understand that a generator installation involves multiple trades and precise coordination — and as a full-service HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractor, Burkhardt can manage the entire project under one roof.
Milwaukee's dense neighborhoods also mean we're experienced with utility coordination requirements, permit processes, and setback requirements unique to the city. We handle every aspect of the installation so you don't have to.
GreenSky financing is available to make generator ownership accessible. Call Burkhardt at 414-206-3049 to schedule your Milwaukee generator consultation today.
