An Alternative Solution to Power Outages

Install A Generator Transfer Switch By Chesapeake Electric


At Chesapeake Electric, we understand that a standby generator isn’t a fit for everyone. For many Maryland residents, you just don’t lose power enough to warrant the cost of a standby generator, but you still want a solution that allows you power during the unfortunate circumstance of a power outage.

Does that sound like you? If it does, a generator manual transfer switch may be the way to go.

With a manual transfer switch, you can designate 8-10 circuits on your electric panel that you would want to be able to power with a smaller portable generator! For a fraction of the price, you can ensure your sump pump has power, your food doesn’t spoil in the fridge, and your family is able to live comfortably while you wait for the power to return.

The Benefits Of A Generator Manual Transfer Switch


When you lose power at home, having one of our home standby generators can save you money, hassle, and priceless peace of mind. The essentials of heat and air conditioning that we all take for granted leave us uncomfortable and irritated when they shut down without warning. Other amenities, like our computers, televisions, phones, and the ability to charge them all, can disrupt our lives when they suddenly no longer work. In the event of a power outage, having a home standby generator installed at your residential property can not only return your investment in purchasing and installation but also save you thousands of dollars.


  • No Relocating Costs - Gone are the days of having to relocate your entire family during a power outage. Having to pay for a hotel for even one night can cost several hundred dollars, and sometimes power outages last weeks or even months at a time! Having a manual transfer switch will allow you to wait in your own home for the power to come back on rather than wasting time and money on a hotel stay.
  • No Flooding - When utility power fails, and your basement sump pump stops running, flooding becomes more likely. Clean-up and remodels afterward can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. With a manual transfer switch, you can ensure that your sump pump will be able to function optimally, preventing damages done to your basement because of flooding.
  • No Spoiled Food - If the power goes out, it’s only a matter of time before the food in your refrigerator goes bad. Having to throw out all your food during a power outage is not only wasteful, but it is also costly. When you have a portable generator transfer switch, you can ensure your food stays fresh, and your bellies stay full!
  • Peace of Mind - Peace of mind is priceless. You can finally feel at ease knowing regardless of the power-outage situation, you have back-up power in your home when you need it the most. With just a simple plug in and a switch, your home and be back up and running while you wait for the power to return.

What Our Happy Customers Are Saying

Testimonials


Excellent 1st experience with Chesapeake Electric! Ethan and Jeff came out to help replace an dying wall sconce, and to provide recommendations for updates to our old wiring and outlets. They were timely, friendly, and organized, and presented us with several options about potential/recommended steps. We settled on a phased approach that will provide flexibility and increase safety around the house, which is great. The light installation was a breeze, and the fellows were careful to clean up and recommend bulbs and a solution to the pull chain we didn't want. Lastly, it was obvious that the guys really like their work and enjoy helping people. It was a pleasure chatting with them, and we'd highly recommend them!

The on call technician Mike Greene couldn’t have been more helpful! He was able to get the issue resolved and followed up to confirm BGE was on there way to get our power restored! Would absolutely call Chesapeake Electric for any future issues and would absolutely recommend!

They are the nicest group of people and did the best job. They are super professional. Me and my family can not thank them enough for the work that they did. If you need an electric company call them. They are hard-working and they get the job done. - from the Sheffield family.

We called Chesapeake Electric when we lost power in all outdoor outlets on the back of the house.(Not surprising with the weather, but…) Mike and his team came out(at the agreed upon time), assessed what needed to be done and did it in one visit. They also identified other issues in our wiring and gave us a no-nonsense appraisal of the priority for repairs. Mike worked with his team seamlessly. Mike clearly and patiently explained everything to us and suggested alternatives at different cost levels. We signed a very reasonable maintenance plan with Chesapeake to keep all of our electrical ‘stuff’ safe. Not for nothing, Mike is a straight-forward guy, who says what he’ll do and then actually does it.

William came out as an on-call technician and we are so thankful for his expertise and professional service. He checked all our outlets meticulously to ensure our safety and gave us advice on how to use our space heaters during a weekend with no heat in our home. He was informative and friendly and we will definitely work with him again. We are glad Chesapeake Electric could respond to urgent calls. Thanks so much!
