Smart home installation that disappears into the design.
Lighting that fades up at sunset, shades that drop as the movie starts. Designed for your life — and quietly supported, year after year.
We design and install the technology that quietly runs a great home — automation, layered lighting, motorized shades, media rooms, multi-room audio, and the network behind it all. Naperville-based, serving Oak Brook, Wheaton, Hinsdale, Glen Ellyn, Burr Ridge, and Chicago’s western suburbs.
What makes the work different
Owner-operated
The person who walks your home, designs the system, and stands behind the install is the same person, every time.
Design-led
We talk finishes, sight lines, and scenes before SKUs. The technology disappears into the architecture, not on top of it.
Naperville-based
Local roots, a Chamber of Commerce member, and a real number to call when you need us.
We specify equipment from partners we’ve tested in real homes — not whoever’s paying us this quarter.
Technology, thoughtfully integrated
We enrich everyday living by weaving entertainment, lighting, control, and security into the fabric of your home — gracefully, and with precision.
Home Automation
One intuitive system for lighting, climate, AV, shades, and security.
Lighting
Intelligent fixtures and keypads that set the mood automatically.
Entertainment
Media rooms, theaters, and whole-home audio designed for the room.
Outdoor
Outdoor TVs, landscape audio, and poolside control for Chicago summers.
Shades
Lutron motorized shades for light, privacy, and energy performance.
WiFi & Network
Robust, whole-home WiFi engineered to carry everything you connect.
You are at the center
Each of our designs is unique — just like our clients. Integration is at the heart of what we do, where technology adapts to your life, not the other way around.
True innovation isn’t measured by complexity. It’s measured by how gracefully a system fits into your life — how naturally a room comes alive when you enter it, and how quietly it stands down when you don’t need it.
Total smart-home reboot
A Naperville family inherited two decades of mismatched smart-home tech — smart bulbs, voice assistants, three apps fighting each other. We tore it out and replaced it with a unified Nice system.
One app. One touchscreen. One vendor relationship. Movie night now means one button on a Pico remote: lights fade, shades close, audio routes to the living room. The system disappears, and the family lives.
Meet Greg Kienast
Imperia is owner-operated. The person who walks your space, designs the system, and stands behind the installation is the same person, every time.
Greg founded Imperia after a decade in advertising and a career in life sciences before that. Naperville-based and a member of the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce — the kind of installer you can actually call when something needs attention.

Trusted by Chicago’s homeowners
I had a fantastic experience with Greg installing a system in my home. He listened to what I wanted, was thorough throughout the installation, and I’m excited to keep expanding into more home automation.
Greg is someone I have been waiting for over ten years. The attention to detail and caring in doing an excellent job, plus the time to explain what he was doing, is very helpful.
I trust Imperia with all my home automation needs. Greg is an absolute pro and we look forward to working with him again.
