Storm season
Keep the power on next time
Hurricane Beryl left more than 2 million CenterPoint customers without power in July 2024, some for over a week. A standby generator starts on its own when the grid drops.
Never plug a portable generator into a dryer outlet. It can send power back up the line and kill a lineworker.
- Size itWe list what you need running, from the fridge to the whole house, and size the unit to match.
- Permit and gas lineWe pull the city permit and coordinate the gas hookup.
- Install the transfer switchIt keeps the generator and the grid apart, so the unit kicks on by itself.
- Yearly serviceA tune-up before hurricane season so it starts when you need it.

Small shop, licensed hands
I opened Brightline in 2019 with one van. Today it's me and one other licensed electrician, so the person who quotes your job is the person who does it.
Most of our work comes from neighbors telling neighbors. We give you a price in writing before we start.

Our breaker tripped every time the dryer and AC ran together. Marcus found a worn-out main breaker and had it replaced the same afternoon.
Had them put in a generator after Beryl. It kicked on by itself during the last outage and we barely noticed.
Installed six recessed lights and an EV charger in one day. They checked the panel load first, which nobody else mentioned.

Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?
Not always. We do a load check first, and many homes can add a charger without a new panel.
How big a generator do I need?
It depends on what you want running. Essentials only is smaller and cheaper than the whole house. We size it on a visit.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Every electrician is licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
Do you pull permits?
Yes, whenever your city requires one, like panel swaps and generators.
Is a tripping breaker dangerous?
It's doing its job, but it means something is wrong. If you smell burning or see scorch marks, call right away.
