Jackson's growing community in Washington County is attracting new residents and new construction — but many established Jackson homes still have electrical panels installed decades ago that are due for an upgrade. Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric provides complete panel upgrades for Jackson homeowners, handling everything from permit applications to final inspection.
For Jackson homes with Federal Pacific Stab-Lok or Zinsco (Sylvania) panels, replacement is urgent. These panels have documented breaker failure modes that create fire risk — and should not be left in service. Burkhardt replaces them completely with safe, modern panels from reputable manufacturers.
Jackson's newer subdivisions often feature 200-amp service already, but homeowners adding EV chargers, detached garage sub-panels, or whole-home generators may find their panel nearing capacity. We evaluate current load and future plans during every consultation, then specify the right panel size for your home's needs.
For Jackson's rural properties with outbuildings, we also plan panel upgrades to accommodate separate feeds to workshops, barns, or detached garages — making the main panel upgrade the ideal time to add or upgrade these feeds as well.
GreenSky financing is available. Call Burkhardt at 414-206-3049 to schedule your Jackson, WI panel upgrade consultation.
**FAQs**
**Q: Can I add EV charging to my Jackson home during the panel upgrade?** A: Yes — and it's the ideal time to do it. We install a 240V/50A circuit to your garage for Level 2 EV charging as part of the panel upgrade, taking advantage of the electrical service already being worked on.
**Q: My Jackson home addition requires a sub-panel in the new wing. Can you handle that too?** A: Absolutely. Sub-panel installation in home additions is a common part of our panel upgrade work. We design the feed from the main panel and specify the sub-panel for the addition's circuits.
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.
