Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Electric Plumbing

What Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Electric Plumbing does

Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric is a third-generation family-owned home services contractor founded in 1961 and headquartered in Brown Deer, Wisconsin. The company delivers residential and light-commercial HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services across four Southeastern Wisconsin counties (Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, and Washington) through two dispatch offices in Brown Deer and Brookfield. Its service menu spans furnace and boiler installation and repair (including hydronic steam and hot-water systems with cast-iron radiators), central AC and ductless mini-split heat pumps, water heaters (tank and tankless), drain cleaning with camera inspection and hydro jetting, sump pumps, electrical panel upgrades, generator installation, EV charger circuits, and indoor air quality. Specialized technical offerings include zone-controlled multi-stage HVAC, variable-speed ECM blower motors, communicating thermostat systems, knob-and-tube remediation, and boiler water-chemistry management with pH and hardness testing. NATE-certified technicians with multi-decade tenure form the service backbone, supported by a 24/7 emergency dispatch operation.

The company's revenue model combines three streams: professional service and repair billed on a quote/hourly basis, one-time equipment installation and replacement projects, and the recurring Signature Club maintenance subscription membership. Pricing is quote-based with a mid-range ($$) market indicator, supplemented by GreenSky-financed installments for qualifying homeowners. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via phone (414-206-3049), online booking, and walk-in inquiries, with field technicians dispatched from the two regional offices; the company is BBB-accredited, Google Guaranteed, and holds over 2,100 verified online reviews. Customer segments are overwhelmingly residential homeowners across multiple eras of housing construction, with a secondary commercial HVAC and electrical segment. The company is privately held with no parent, no external investors, and no disclosed funding events; ownership and decision-making remain within the founding family.

Regional players

• Applewood Plumbing, Heating & Electric: Denver-area multi-trade contractor providing plumbing, heating, and electrical services to homeowners — operates the same three-trade integration model but serves a different regional market.

Broad incumbents
