I had a recent service visit for a ceiling fan that stopped working. The technician inspected my…read morecircuit breaker panel and removed the plate on the wall switch. After that inspection he refused to continue diagnosing the problem unless I paid either for an annual membership (over $300) or a one‑time diagnostic fee (over $200). I declined, the technician called his manager, and the manager instructed him not to proceed. No fees were charged. The technician apologized that this policy was not disclosed when I scheduled the appointment. This was unprofessional and felt like a bait‑and‑switch. A diagnostic visit should not turn into a hard sell on the doorstep without clear disclosure up front. I will not use Chesapeake Electric again and I would not recommend them. They were a huge waste of time.

BLUF: Easy to schedule, friendly and communicative electrician and work performed as expected…read more I loathe hiring anyone to do anything because people are so unreliable. But frankly, I am a former DIYer who has gotten really lazy so when it came time to install a junction box and ceiling fan in a guest bedroom I called Chesapeake Electric. Phew, much to my relief, Chesapeake Electric was great to work with - scheduling the job was easy, the electrician showed up on time, he was very communicative, the work performed was great and it was easy to pay. Also, the electrician did a great job cleaning up and hauling away the trash from the ceiling fan. It feels good to finally have a ceiling fan in our guest bedroom and to have a reliable electrician in our contacts.

They came over next day…read moreand not only fixed it but discovered several other cheep fixes from previous owners that were extremely dangerous. The insulation around our wires had completely rotted away and some wires were alluminum wrapped in cotton (tech from the 30s). SUPER DANGEROUS! We found out we are living in a fire hazard waiting to happen. Their price seemed fair and when contracting out the drywall repairs they helped negotiate it down. Very grateful.

I live in northern St Mary's County. I have been a longtime customer of Burch Oil. Years ago I had…read more4 very old heat pumps at the end of their lives. I replaced one per year for 4 years. Bobby from Burch Oil explained everything heat pump to me and helped me make informed choices. (Did anyone else know that Burch Oil installs and works on heat pumps?) One of the 4 ended up being a lemon (by no fault of Burch Oil), and it was a long road to convince the company that makes the heat pumps to replace it. Those at Burch Oil helped in every way they could and eventually it was replaced. Fast forward to nowadays. Another of the heat pumps stopped working at the beginning of this heat wave on Sunday. During every week I am an hour away caring for my elderly mother at her house and can't leave without arranging care for her. Burch Oil responded immediately to my call and worked with me to arrange an appointment the next day that I could be there for. James figured out what was wrong and ordered the part, and told me it is covered by warranty--I didn't even know that, but they keep track. The part arrived the very next day. Then Buddy in dispatching worked with me to arrange a time to install it 24 hours later when I could come home again--they may have been able to install it earlier, but I couldn't come any sooner. What a relief! I'm having my granddaughters at my house this weekend and originally thought there was no way the AC would be working by then, but Burch Oil came through, and everyone I talked to was helpful and friendly and concerned for me. I could never find the words to express how grateful I am for their help, caring and personal business model, and constancy over the years.

They never addressed how they have been out to our home for the past 3 years, and Never fixed it!!! This year alone they came out 3 times and every time it was a different problem. 1st they said it just needed to b cleaned, that didn't work. They came back out and said it needed a new motor so I paid for that 2. It still didn't work. Then they come back out and say i need a whole new unit. I called to complain and couldn't get a call back. Now months later they have the nerve to call and say $4000 with a 15 percent discount. R they serious?
