Whole-Home Generator Installation
When the grid fails, your life doesn't have to. Bright Room Electric installs whole-home standby generators as an authorized Kohler and Generac dealer throughout Downers Grove and Chicagoland.
A whole-home generator starts automatically when utility power fails and runs your entire home (heating, cooling, refrigeration, sump pumps, medical equipment, and everything else) for as long as the outage lasts. In a region where ice storms, summer windstorms, and utility outages interrupt power every year, standby power has become one of the most practical investments a homeowner can make.

Automatic Backup Power, Sized for Your Home
Whole-home generators connect to your electrical system through an automatic transfer switch and to your natural gas or propane supply. When the grid drops, the unit starts within seconds: no extension cords, no refueling runs, no waking up to a dark house.
Sizing matters. Our electricians evaluate what you want powered (everything, or essential circuits) and recommend a unit with appropriate capacity. As an authorized Kohler and Generac dealer, we install equipment we can stand behind.
Proper Installation, Start to Finish
Generator installation involves real electrical and fuel connections: a mounting pad, fuel line work, transfer switch installation, and wiring that meets applicable National Electrical Code requirements and local codes. Permits are typically required, and clearances and ventilation matter. Bright Room Electric manages the full process and coordinates inspections.
After installation, we walk you through operation and testing, so you know exactly how your system behaves before the first real outage tests it for you.
