Light Up Your Dock

Expert Boat Dock Lighting Service By Chesapeake Electric

Many residents in Annapolis have a shared love of boating, spending countless hours of calm weather on the water before returning to the pier. Navigating the pier can be tricky if you don’t have the proper marine dock lights installed, which is why you should call on the outstanding services of Chesapeake Electric. As a premiere electrical contractor for pier power and dock light installations, Chesapeake Electric can help brighten up your waterfront property at night and keep you safe during low-light hours.

From low voltage pier lighting and underwater dock lights to shore power circuits to jet ski lifts, our talented team, led by our licensed and insured master electrician, has the knowledge and skill to install various outdoor electrical and light system options. The experts at Chesapeake Electric can offer you great dock lighting ideas, including adding piling lights and underwater lights, or depending on your setup, adding a pagoda light or pathway light kit.

The Hazards Of Improper Wiring

When it comes to pier safety, Chesapeake Electric never takes chances. Our experienced technicians know just how dangerous conditions can be if the electrical system has not been properly maintained or does not meet code requirements. If these issues apply to your pier, you may be left with broken conduits, exposed wiring, and severe electrical hazards.

Getting in touch with a professional who understands the intricacies of working with electricity in wet environments is vital. They can make the difference between a simple fix and a very costly project.

We also find that most piers are underpowered and have no room for expansion. This makes it challenging to add additional shore power, jet ski lifts, or even general pier lighting.

At Chesapeake Electric, we use calculations based on distance and motor loads in order to make sure that your wiring is sized appropriately to prevent underpowering, intermittent power issues, and safety concerns. With over 10 years of experience in pier power installations, we know that piers have a tendency to damage conduits with their natural back-and-forth movements, so we use expansion fittings to allow your electrical installation to move with your pier.

Customize Your Pier Needs

As your pier power partners, will be by your side every step, from site surveys and design meetings to installation of dock light kits and boat machinations. We can tailor your jet ski lift or pier power to suit your needs, depending on the following:

The number of boats/jet skis using the pier

The size/shape of the dock area

The weight-bearing capacity of the pier

Whether you prefer low profile lights, energy efficient LED lights, solar lights, etc.

Subject: Commendation for Exceptional Service – Chesapeake Electric and ServiceMaster Team

Dear Mr. Deshaies and CO.,

I am writing to formally express my family’s sincere gratitude for the exceptional service and support we received following the house fire at our home.

During an incredibly difficult and stressful time, Chesapeake Electric, under the ownership of Mr. Deshaies, provided outstanding service, professionalism, and dedication. I would especially like to recognize Head Master Electrician Matt for his extraordinary hard work, long and tedious hours, and the kindness and professionalism he consistently demonstrated throughout the process. His expertise, personal involvement, and willingness to go above and beyond were invaluable. In particular, we are deeply grateful for his assistance in ensuring the electrical work was completed properly, for helping us obtain the correct invoices, and for providing the explanations necessary to support our insurance claim. His continued support in addressing the full electrical panel replacement, house rewiring, and additional secondary damage related to environmental causes was truly exceptional.

I would also like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Deshaies and his team for the remarkable restoration services they provided. From the very beginning, Chesapeake Electric's prompt response, timely and flexible scheduling, and close attention to detail gave us reassurance during an emergency situation caused by a freak event of nature. They quickly arranged a comprehensive damage assessment, and their team worked diligently to restore our home.

Their efforts included bringing in expert electricians, thoroughly inspecting and diagnosing all issues and related systems, and conducting a meticulous top-to-bottom, floor-to-ceiling professional electrical home renovation service. They successfully removed the damaged items, cables, wires, and all pertinent necessities and went above and beyond to help ensure our home was safe and that quality newly installed and properly tested lines and equipment were restored for our family’s comfort and well-being.

Mr. Deshaies themself, the owner of the company came out and spent over 12 hours during the initial cause, diagnosis, assessment, and worked hand-in-hand, rolling up their sleeves to assist Matt and their other team members in everything electric. They personally went back to their warehouse to save time and pick up all necessary equipment, inventoried, and laid the foundation for a meticulous insurance quote and detailed invoicing to include all necessary before and after the damage pictures. They wrote a personal professional email to explain to the insurance company the gravity and necessity of the situation and all the work that was being completed to include the secondary issues arising from the fire, to ensure we were 100% covered and taken care of.

Both Chesapeake Electric CO., Mr. Deshaies and his team demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, compassion, and commitment during one of the most challenging times our family has faced. Their hard work and care made a tremendous difference, and we wanted to ensure their efforts were formally recognized and shared with leadership.

Please extend our deepest thanks and appreciation to everyone involved.

Sincerely,

Mr. Dvir Samet

Chesapeake Electric is the only company I will use when it comes to all of my electrical needs. This is based on Chesapeake’s reliability, integrity, fair pricing, honesty, and quality workmanship/performance of their techs. Today I want to take the time to acknowledge Gary Howe, Alec Vazquez and Dan Sarnf. It is people like them who keep Chesapeake Electric #1 on my list when it comes to all of my electrical needs. They worked extremely hard for three consecutive days, explaining everything they were doing along the way in layman terms for me to understand. They are truly an asset for your company and another reason why I always recommend Chesapeake to anyone having electrical needs. Also, a shout out to Casey Wumer who did my yearly inspection as well as giving me a thorough and honest recommendation for what needed to be done. And let us not forget Jackie back in the office who handles every call with respect and class. All of these people mentioned are truly assets to your company.
