About
Rush Power Systems has maintained a 1.6-megawatt power plant alongside smaller emergency generators for the same industrial client for years — a benchmark that signals the depth of capability facility managers across the Midwest can rely on. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Belvidere, IL (near Rockford), Rush Power Systems delivers full-lifecycle generator services to commercial and industrial properties throughout the Midwest and Upper Midwest, including healthcare facilities, data centers, warehouses, industrial plants, and institutional buildings. The company's service portfolio spans generator sales, installation, repair, and rentals, with specialized expertise in Waukesha engines and generator sets, Multiquip generators, Isuzu diesel power equipment, and Blue Star generators. For facility managers responsible for mission-critical uptime, Rush Power Systems offers load bank testing to proactively verify emergency generator capacity before failures occur, control panel upgrades, fuel polishing to maintain fuel integrity in long-term storage systems, and RICE NESHAP emissions compliance support — a regulatory requirement many property operators overlook until an inspection. Transfer switch sales and stocking further reduce downtime exposure across multi-building portfolios. The team also provides combined heat and power (CHP) plant solutions for facilities seeking distributed generation efficiency. Their rental fleet with full-service delivery and power hook-up supports planned outages, construction projects, and emergency power gaps across commercial and industrial sites. For healthcare operators in particular — where generator reliability directly affects patient safety — Rush Power Systems has earned long-term service relationships, including an eight-year engagement with a nursing home caring for 80 residents. Facility managers managing multiple commercial properties across northern Illinois and the broader Midwest will find Rush Power Systems a single-source provider for emergency power generation needs.
