Licensed electricians serving Glen Ellyn homes and businesses — EV chargers, panel upgrades, standby generators, and everyday electrical repairs.
The old trees are what make Glen Ellyn look the way it does, and they’re also why the power goes out here more than people expect. Limbs come down on overhead service drops in every big storm, and homes around Lake Ellyn and the older streets near downtown are often still running the panel they were built with. It’s a combination that turns a summer thunderstorm into a long evening.
That’s why standby generators and service upgrades make up a lot of our work in the village. Our licensed electricians pull the Village of Glen Ellyn permit, coordinate with ComEd, and label the panel before we leave. Free estimates, upfront pricing, and a 5-year workmanship warranty on installations.

The Village of Glen Ellyn, through its Planning and Development Department — permits and inspections both go through the village. Generators are worth flagging separately: besides the electrical and gas permits, placement usually has to satisfy setback rules and the village’s noise standards, so where the unit sits isn’t purely a technical decision. We handle the filing and tell you upfront where it can go.
It runs on natural gas or propane and starts itself. An automatic transfer switch senses the outage, disconnects you from the grid, and brings the generator online, usually within a minute — you don’t have to be home, and nothing gets plugged in or dragged out of the garage. When ComEd restores power the switch hands the house back over and shuts the unit down. Sizing is the real decision: whole-house, or a set of essential circuits.
It depends which part came down. ComEd owns the overhead wires running to your house, so damage out at the pole or along the span is their repair and their call to make. The mast, weatherhead and meter socket on the side of your house are yours, and if those are bent or pulled loose ComEd generally won’t reconnect until a licensed electrician has repaired them. That’s the call we get after storms — we make the house side safe and ready so the utility can reconnect.
