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


Paul and Trey were prompt, courteous, and professional in assessing my GFCI situation and correcting it same day. Additionally, they came back to replace all my 20+ year old outlets which were very poor quality and had many reliability issues such as cracked plastic electrical housings and separates socket faces. Trey and Paul were excellent at helping move furniture I could not get at to approach all outlets behind furniture and in hard to reach places. Good guys I trust!

I really appreciated the professionalism and kindness of my technician Derek O’Halloran. Excellent work kept me well informed. At one point part of the job needed additional work not scoped out. Derek informed me right away gave all the options and cost which allowed me to make an informed decision. The technicians are honest and hard working. Will use this company for all my electrical needs.

Ben whipps was awesome to work with, professional, courteous, and punctual. That said I do feel like the cost was a bit outrageous and due to the short turn around I have on this I was a bit stuck. That's definitely not a knock against Ben or his work, he doesn't set the price, did a good job, and was accommodating.

Everyone from Mike the estimator to Zach and Trey the installers were very polite and professional. They did a great job, quickly and efficiently, and cleaned up after they were done. I would highly recommend them and use them again if I needed electrical work done.
