    What Our Happy Customers Are Saying

    Testimonials

    Excellent service and Brian knows his stuff

    The project on my house was large. New outside meter, outside cable from the meter to the transformer was replaced, all new light switches and outlets replaced and a brand new circuit breaker was replaced because it was the original from 1962 and has been banned. Chesapeake Electric handled the permits, communicated with BG&E for the new meter replacement. The work was efficient, thorough. The electricians explained each day what they were going to do. Then they showed all the that was done. They even came back to do some electrical work that was not part of original scope. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

    Tyler Knox did a fantastic job walking me through his diagnostic/research while trying to identify my issue. He was able to trace an obnoxious GFCI dependency that had been bothering me for months in 10~ minutes. He was very respectful, communicative, and knowledgeable! He also did a fantastic job laying out options for different levels of work. He provided recommendations and rationale for our repair options without it feeling pushy or forced. 6 stars!
