"Chesapeake electrical just finished replacing an outlet on our 32 year old home. They also inspected the whole electrical system and offered options to upgrade our house to current standards. The technician, Brian, was very experienced and fixed our problem right away. Too many Christmas lights, too much recent rain and trying to charge an electric car on a 110 line! They came out the day after we called, the scheduler, Jackie, was very personable and determined to get this ordeal over for us. Our immediate problem was not too complicated but I can see down the road we may need more substantial electric repairs and we will be calling Chesapeake electrical for what we need. I recommend everything about their operation. Last comment and probably the most important comments moment, the cost was very reasonable. For someone who almost never uses an electrician, we are glad we found Chesapeake electrical. John and Jane, Ellicott City"

Hi, I’m Klaus. I’ve been an electrician for over 25 years and a Master for 22, specializing in residential and commercial installations, refits/remodels and troubleshooting. Here at Resolute Electric we can help you out with all of your electrical projects and problems. From replacing that atrocious light you’ve always hated to wiring your new house or business, we’re ready to power your needs. We offer free estimates and would love to put eyes on what you need accomplished. No job is too small because you need it taken care of and that’s what we’re here for. Ask us lots of questions and don’t worry, there are no dumb ones. If you’re on the Delmarva Peninsula rest assured, when we show up you’ll have a licensed and insured electrician who will make your concerns the only focus and number one priority.

" Without a doubt, I have NEVER dealt with a more honest, up front and professional electrician! They stayed in constant communication, stayed within my budget, punctual and were very willing to work within my time constraints. Best of all you may ask? I had other quotes that were jaw dropping and absurd. These pros told me that the work that I needed, was not what the competition was trying to ask me to pay for. I can say without contestation, that this is the most honest electrician (any contractor for that matter) has been! KUDOS and grateful for there are still some honest people out there. If there were TEN stars, they would have earned them! To quote the late Gene Wilder in the movie-Charlie and the Chocolate Factory… “So shines a good deed, in this weary world.” "

"Antonio was great. I had 2 ceiling fans installed on a 15 foot high pitched ceiling. The fans I purchased were meant for a ceiling with a much smaller pitch so they were not able hang straight as is. I thought I would have to wait and buy some additional hardware to complete the job but Antonio clearly communicated with me to show me why they wouldn’t work and talked me through a few ideas he wanted to try to make it work. It took a bit more time but in the end he was able to make some cuts and holes to the fans and they worked out great in the end. He saved me some time and money so I was happy to leave him with a tip. "

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages at $5,200, but costs can range from $1,500 to $8,900, depending on the type and size of the generator, and the labor required to install it. To find the best deal while still ensuring the unit meets all the needs of your household, hire an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your must-have appliances and electronics beforehand so you don’t pay for more power than you need. As always, be sure to get at least three quotes to find the ideal fit for your needs and budget.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

When installed and used correctly, generators are safe to use. The most critical generator safety tips to keep in mind are:

  • Never use a portable generator inside an enclosed space, as the carbon monoxide exhaust it creates is lethal.

  • Never attempt to connect your generator to your home’s electrical panel independently; hire a professional for this dangerous job.

  • Never overload your generator by connecting more appliances than for which it’s rated; you can damage your generator and appliances or even cause a fire.
