A Wisconsin winter puts every furnace to the test. Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric has been in business since 1961. Our technicians take a methodical approach to every new furnace installation in Muskego — starting with an accurate load calculation and ending with a system that delivers even, efficient heat.
High-Efficiency Gas Furnaces
Today's condensing furnaces achieve AFUE ratings of 96–98%, meaning nearly all of the gas you pay for becomes heat in your home — compared to 70–80% for furnaces installed before the 1990s. Burkhardt installs systems from Armstrong, Concord and other brands. Many feature variable-speed blower motors and two-stage or modulating burners for consistent temperatures and quieter operation.
Proper Sizing for Muskego Homes
Given Muskego's lakefront neighborhoods — homes near Idle Isle Park on Little Muskego Lake and around Big Muskego Lake — and the year-round homes converted from lakefront cottages alongside newer subdivisions, homes here vary in size, layout, and insulation quality. An oversized furnace short-cycles — blasting heat in short bursts that stress the heat exchanger and waste fuel. Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation before recommending any equipment, matching the furnace to your specific home.
Ductwork Assessment
A new furnace is only as effective as the ductwork distributing its heat. We inspect existing ducts for leaks, undersized runs, and damaged sections before or during installation.
Rebates and Financing
Check current program, equipment, household and contractor requirements with Focus on Energy before relying on an incentive. Ask about current financing options for your furnace installation, subject to credit approval.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does furnace installation take in Muskego?
A standard furnace installation typically takes four to six hours. Work involving ductwork modifications or new gas line connections may require a full day. We provide a time estimate before any work begins.
What AFUE rating should I choose for my Muskego home?
Given Wisconsin's long heating season, we recommend 96% AFUE or higher for most Muskego homes. Our technicians walk through the payback calculation during your consultation.
