A Local Business With Real Roots
Brite Generators was recently featured by WNKY News 40 in a story that highlighted our roots in Kentucky, our 25 years in the electrical industry, and one of the more unexpected relationships tied to our business, Steve-O.
But that story is about more than a headline.
It is about where this company came from, how it grew, and what it means to stay connected to the people and community around you.
A Beginning Nobody Could Have Predicted
"The first day we started business, we thought it was going to be the best day of our lives," said George Blevens, president and CEO of Brite Generators. "By noon, that was the day the Twin Towers fell. So we started our company on September 11, 2001."
Over the years, Brite Generators has grown into a trusted name for electrical work and standby generator solutions, serving customers across a wide area from Louisville, Kentucky to Huntsville, Alabama.
That history matters. It says something about resilience, consistency, and the kind of business that sticks around because it earned the right to.
The Steve-O Connection
The WNKY feature also shared Brite Generators' connection with Steve-O.
"George was one of the first people I met. I wanted to get an electric charger for my Tesla, and he wouldn't let me pay."
— Steve-O
It is the kind of story people remember because it feels real. A relationship built through a simple act of generosity and a willingness to help, not through hype, not through posturing, just through doing the right thing.
That part fits Brite Generators well.
We believe good work and honest relationships still matter. Around here, they do.
More Than Generators. A Business That Shows Up
One of the strongest parts of the WNKY story is that it did not just focus on equipment or installations. It showed the human side of the company.
Brite Generators was proud to have the Simpson County Animal Shelter there, along with the local high school soccer team.
That matters.
A business should be connected to the place it serves. Supporting local groups, showing up for people, and being part of the community is not extra. That is part of doing business the right way.
Simpson County Animal Shelter
"With as many cats and dogs as we take in, we can always use donations. It was an awesome way to celebrate them reaching 25 years in business while also helping the animals." — Ruth Garriott, Director
Franklin-Simpson Girls Soccer
The Simpson County Animal Shelter serves an important role in the community, and local school athletics bring people together in a whole different way. Including both shows what Brite Generators is really about. It is not just power systems. It is people.
Community Matters In Simpson County
At Brite Generators, we know a company can say a lot about itself. The better proof is in who stands with you and who you stand with.
That is why it meant something to have community involvement reflected in the WNKY feature. The presence of the animal shelter and the high school soccer team helped paint the full picture.
Brite Generators is not trying to be some faceless company with polished slogans and zero pulse.
We are local. We care about this area. We support the people, teams, and organizations that make it what it is.
25 Years In The Electrical Industry
Twenty-five years is not a small thing.
It means years of hard work, changing technology, storm recovery, emergency calls, customer relationships, and the kind of experience that only comes from staying in the field and solving real problems.
That experience shows up in every part of what Brite Generators does, including:
⚡ What Brite Generators Does
- Standby generator installation
- Whole-home backup power systems
- Automatic transfer switch installation
- Generator service and maintenance
- Long-term customer support
- Clear, practical guidance for homeowners
When people invest in a standby generator, they are not just buying a machine. They are trusting the company behind it.
Why This Matters For Homeowners
A standby generator is one of those things people do not think much about until the power goes out and suddenly it is the only thing that matters.
Homeowners want backup power, but they also want confidence in the people installing it.
That is where Brite Generators stands out.
This is a company with deep roots, real experience, local relationships, and a reputation built over time. The WNKY feature reinforces what customers want to know anyway, who they are dealing with, what the company stands for, and whether it is the kind of business they can trust.

Local Power. Local People. Real Backup.
"To be able to live through that is a testament to the strength of the company. A weak company doesn't survive that. We regrouped, and we grew from it."
— George Blevens, President and CEO, Brite Generators
The WNKY story is a great moment for Brite Generators, but it also points to something bigger.
This company was built through years of electrical work, real relationships, and a commitment to both customers and community. From helping homeowners stay powered to supporting local organizations like the Simpson County Animal Shelter and recognizing the local high school soccer team, Brite Generators is rooted in the place it serves.
That is the kind of company people remember.
