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.

Generator Installation
  • No Relocating Costs -ย 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, itโ€™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.

Chesapeake Electric sent a superb Master Electrician and technicians on a full rewiring of our old home. A few weeks later we had others come out to do additional work. Jimmy, Terry, and Kevin, all Master Electricians, and Shannon and Trevor the technicians, were friendly and hard-working, often from morning until late afternoon. We can say many wonderful things about each of them, but this would take too long to write! Please know Chesapeake Electric hires excellent people to work for them; knowledgeable, focused, respectful, and polite. We highly recommend them for small and very large jobs. We don't think you'll be disappointed. Thanks Chesapeake Electric!

A few weeks ago (it may be longer) the circuit breaker in our panel box tripped for the well pump. Me, being the master of everything technical, pumped my chest out after I reset said breaker and the water started flowing once again! (I handled that disaster!) Well (no pun intended) after a few more weeks of having to rest the same breaker in order to have water access we called a well company. Long story short, we needed a new well for $20,000. So now my mastery of the "everything technical" was demolished. The motor was bad and there was "water intrusion" in our system. Another week passed of more "flipping the switch" until last night. The breaker refused to reset. UH OH... So I went online and booked an appointment with Chesapeake Electric. (Very easy process by the way even though I am very technical!!!) They called me this morning to confirm said appointment. And this afternoon a very nice yet professional and very knowledgable gentleman arrived out my house. Christian has entered the chat! I explained the situation and he assured me he would look at all possibilities. Well. Christian is an electrical magician! Not only did he go under the house and find A BURNED ELECTRICAL WIRE that the well company didn't see (Or did and didn't want to mention it) but he repaired the line for a fraction of a new well and now we have water and the breaker HAS NOT broken!! Now, Christian went over all of the options I could have chosen Very thoroughly and patiently (you know, because of my strong technical skills and all!) I chose the path of least resistance JUST IN CASE it did not fix the issue completely. Well, it did. Christian and Chesapeake Electric saved us over $20,000.00 And we will be using Chesapeake Electric for all things electrical in the future! SOOOO.. All of that being said: Thank you to Jackie, Katie and Kevin. And thank you again to Christian!!! You all are fantastic. Thank you, Chesapeake Electric. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you all from start to..... We arent finished working with you so its just.. so long for now! Sincerely- Ben, Julie and Family

Major electrical issues after a storm. But the team from Chesapeake was incredible from start to finish. They kept me informed and highlighted small problems to resolve before they could become larger issues. They also worked very well with the other repair teams that were onsite, as the damage involved appliances and HVAC as well. Iโ€™d definitely use them again.
