"I want to start off saying that we’re very professional over the phone. But, when I called saying my power was not working they were very responsive to come out and attempt to fix it. They came out noticed the issue was not able to be fixed because of the crawl space being wet. Charged my gf that did not know what to do $175 for saying they couldn’t fix the problem. A technician from another company came out and fixed the issue in 15 minutes and charged less not even needing to go into the crawl space. I called to get my money back and they were professional, but could not refund me the money because it “cost money to send the truck”. So if you don’t want to lose $175, I wouldn’t recommend."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In Chesapeake, unexpected costs for standby generator installation often involve permit fees, HOA approvals, and city inspections. Additional expenses may arise from site preparation, such as installing a concrete pad, improving drainage, or removing landscaping. Homes frequently require electrical panel upgrades or longer gas lines, and properties in flood-prone areas may need extra corrosion protection due to the coastal environment.

Helpful?

Combining generator installation in Chesapeake with upgrades like electrical panel replacement, surge protection, or smart home integration can streamline permitting and reduce labor overlap. Pairing with outdoor electrical work or EV charging station installation minimizes disruption to your yard. Scheduling these projects before hurricane season helps avoid weather delays and ensures your backup power system is ready when you need it most.

Helpful?

When hiring a pro in Chesapeake, prioritize those with experience managing backup power systems in coastal climates and a proven track record of storm response. Look for local expertise in load calculations and transfer switches, and verify familiarity with city codes. Choose installers who offer clear communication, provide detailed project timelines, and avoid those who rush decisions or present unusually low bids.

Helpful?

Before starting generator installation in Chesapeake, confirm gas line capacity with your utility and mark all underground utilities. Apply for city permits and HOA approvals early, and assess soil drainage to prevent future issues. Plan equipment access routes and select your fuel source in advance. Gather multiple quotes, set aside a contingency budget, and notify neighbors to minimize disruptions and address potential concerns.

Helpful?

In Chesapeake, generator maintenance should include monthly self-tests, annual oil and spark plug changes, and replacing air filters every six months due to humidity and salt exposure. Regularly inspect battery terminals for corrosion and clean the housing to prevent buildup. Before hurricane season, schedule a professional to check the fuel system and transfer switch, ensuring your backup power source remains reliable during severe weather.
