Fox Point's distinguished lakefront and executive homes often carry high electrical loads — multiple HVAC zones, heated pools and spas, EV chargers, and sophisticated home automation systems that older panels were never designed to support. Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric provides complete electrical panel upgrades for Fox Point homeowners, from straightforward 200-amp service upgrades to high-capacity installations for premium homes.
For Fox Point's older properties, Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco (Sylvania) panels remain a concern. These brands, found in homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s, have breakers that may fail to interrupt fault current — a hidden fire hazard that insurance companies increasingly flag. Burkhardt replaces these panels completely and properly.
For larger Fox Point homes, we assess whether 200-amp service is sufficient or whether a 400-amp service upgrade better serves the property's actual load requirements. EV-ready circuits — including the infrastructure for multiple simultaneous EV chargers — are part of many Fox Point panel projects we handle.
Fox Point Village's permit requirements for electrical work are thorough, and Burkhardt's licensed electricians navigate this process routinely. We handle permits, We Energies coordination, and inspection scheduling from start to finish.
GreenSky financing is available. Call Burkhardt at 414-206-3049 for your Fox Point panel upgrade consultation.
**FAQs**
**Q: Our Fox Point home has a 200-amp panel but we want to add two EV chargers. Do we need an upgrade?** A: Not necessarily. It depends on your current panel load. We perform a load calculation to determine whether your existing 200-amp service can accommodate two EV circuits or whether a 400-amp upgrade is warranted.
**Q: Can Burkhardt install a sub-panel in our Fox Point home's pool house or workshop?** A: Yes. Sub-panel installation in outbuildings, pool houses, and workshops is part of our scope. We design the feed from your main panel to support the outbuilding's current and future loads.

EV Charger Installation
As electric vehicles become more common across Southeastern Wisconsin, many homeowners need a Level 2 EV charger installed in their garage. This typically requires a dedicated 240-volt, 50-amp circuit from your electrical panel — and in older homes, a panel upgrade to handle the additional load. Our licensed electricians handle the complete installation: panel assessment, circuit addition, charger mounting, and final inspection. We install all major EV charger brands including ChargePoint, Tesla Wall Connector, JuiceBox, and Grizzl-E.
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.
