Incredibly overpriced in my opinion along with other electrician company I contacted. But honestly that wasn't the main issue. This was maybe the most annoying and oddest consultation of my life. From the very beginning I was being very clear that I only wanted my outlets replaced, nothing else. I reiterated this verbally in person. The technician, kept on trying to sell me a membership and additional services. I would say "I just want my outlets fixed" and then he would completely ignore me and go on to sell me about replacing the circuits. This happened over and over again. I would say "please I don't want this service" and then he would just go right back to other services. I actually couldn't believe what was happening. I was incredibly uncomfortable the entire time. For the 4th time, I was again very direct in not wanting any additional work. I literally said "I do not care for anything but the outlets". But he just didn't care and kept going for 15 minutes about working on my panel. Like oh my god, what is happening. It was additionally rude when I told him I was on a time crunch but then he still spent 30-40 mins creating an additional 4 quotes for the work that I insisted I didn't want. They straight up did not care about me and what I wanted. He kept saying I'm the top priority while also completely disregarding what I do not want. If a customer tells you to stop, please stop. I was incredibly upfront with the services that I wanted but this guy was on a mission to charge me $9356. I ultimately didn't continue with this company and reached out to another one who did the work for $300, which was the quote I also received from other electricians in the area. I truly do not know how they justify charging $2807 for only 6 outlets. Listen to the other reviewers. I had the same experience of the worker just looking for upgrades rather than what I called for. He spent nearly 20 minutes analyzing my electrical panels to see where he can charge me additional services after I just told him I only want the outlets. Stop trying to phrase this is for your customers when you blatantly ignore their needs and wants. This was such a weird experience and I lost $89 for the dispatch fee.

I contacted Chesapeake Electric after the outlets and switches on one circuit in my home stopped…read moreworking. The technicians arrived as scheduled, acted professionally, and explained that the outlets on the circuit had not been pigtailed when the home was originally wired. They identified separated wiring and signs of overheating in some locations, including burned drywall behind certain outlet covers. I initially paid an $85 service fee and then more than $500 for a more extensive assessment. After that assessment, I was given an estimate exceeding $2,500 to address approximately 10 outlets and switches on the circuit. I was told that the entire circuit needed to be corrected and that they could not determine which individual outlets were causing the problem. When I asked whether only the damaged locations could be repaired, I was told that was not an option. After I paid a deposit toward the proposed work, the technicians disconnected and capped three affected outlets and restored power to the remainder of the circuit. This raised questions for me about why the entire circuit had initially been presented as needing immediate repair. When I asked about repairing only those three locations, I was quoted more than $500 per location. Whole-home premium surge protection and service-plan memberships were also recommended. By coincidence, another electrician was working at a neighboring home that day. He identified himself as a master electrician, inspected the issue, and gave me a different professional opinion. He told me that the entire circuit did not need to be replaced. In his assessment, the three affected locations needed repair and the remaining outlets on the circuit could be pigtailed. He estimated approximately $700 for the work. I then contacted Chesapeake Electric's office and asked to cancel the deposit. The manager listened to my concerns, spoke with the technicians, and called me back. He explained the company's reasoning and said the broader electrical work could be beneficial if the home were inspected in the future. However, that explanation did not resolve my concerns about the difference in the proposed scope and pricing. I also received appointment and follow-up text messages from someone identifying himself as "Mike." Based on the wording and interaction, the messages appeared to be generated through an automated or artificial-intelligence service. However, the messages did not disclose that I might be communicating with AI rather than a real employee. I found that confusing and uncomfortable. In my opinion, customers should be clearly informed when appointment scheduling or follow-up communications are being handled by an automated AI system. Although the technicians were courteous and professional while at my home, I was not comfortable proceeding after receiving such a substantially different assessment and estimate from another electrician. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend obtaining at least one independent second opinion before approving costly electrical work, memberships, or additional services.

They were very professional, friendly, efficient and thoughtful of our home. Before starting to install the final fan in the great room (with a 20-foot ceiling), they first had to maneuver a 16-foot step ladder into the house and room which was not easy due to the size and weight. Once they started to work on the install, they discovered that I didn't buy a fan for such a steep sloped ceiling. They repackaged the fan and wrapped up the job. Bottom line, Gunther's team members Alex and Brad did an awesome job. I'm having them back to do the great room fan after I get a new unit.

Super nice scammer. Kent Island Electric was a subcontractor…read moreto an addition. The sole worker was the owner Harry Langway who is really nice and his work passed inspection. Then his true colours came out. He claimed the contractor did not pay him because I did not pay the bill and he was filing against me. It was proven to Mr. Langway that $5k had been paid to the GC before it was due for the explicit purpose of paying the electrician. Mr. Langway was all friendly saying the contractor was terrible and at fault, and then he filed a Mechanics Lien of $4k against me. He stated he needed the money to pay bills. He played the pity card and it worked. Since I could not pay him directly as that would be giving money away, I decided to let the case go to court so that I would have documented proof from the courts that the Gen Contractor had not paid Mr. Langway. Since Mr. Langway stated the lack of payment was causing him financial difficulties an initial good faith payment on the Mechanics Lien of $800 was sent to him and immediately deposited. The case went through no contest, total amount awarded of $4k +$74 fees. Mr. Langway came to the house to collect the remaining $3274 after the initial $800, and said it was not enough. The $800 did not count and the full judgement had to be paid. At this point I realized the super nice Harry Langway was scamming me. Being a disabled vet alone in my house with someone def. stronger than me, a check was given to him for $4074 so he would leave. He was told it would take a week to borrow the money so do not cash it yet. He left and tried to cash it, no good for him. Trying to put an end to the game and pay the remaining $3274 I paid for a courier to deliver a cashier check. He realized it was from me and rejected it again. One would think if he was legit in his claim of more being owed he would take the money offered and still say more was owed, here is the proof. But he realized I would have proof he had been paid the full court amount, and he could not attempt to claim I owed him interest. I could finally see he is a professional in this game. Enough was enough, I emailed the business that I was filing a motion against the judgement, and I provided the reasons the court would see his scam. All professional and courteous with details so he would be prepared with what I was going to present at court. He responded back that "This is cyber bullying." Um, trying to inform him of what is happening on a legal level is cyber bullying how? Oh, he is trying to make me look like a bad guy. I am looking forward to court this time. I made a point of most all communication being via text or email so there is a great deal of documentation to prove the game he is playing. But confidence can be a killer, and I realize now this guy is a pro, so everything will be documented and very publicly shared. So based on my interactions with him, Harry Langway presents as just a really great guy, down to earth, the type you want to meet for a drink and laugh about the day. But if a snake oil salesman does not seem great and trustworthy, he won't make any sales. If you douse him, don't fall for the friendly, and try to make most communication trackable via text or email.
