Island living means planning for the next outage

Kent Island is the first stop in Queen Anne's County once you cross the Bay Bridge from Annapolis, and its waterfront neighborhoods take the full force of Chesapeake storms. When a nor'easter or a summer thunderstorm takes the power out, a sump pump, a refrigerator full of food and the heat or air conditioning are all on the line. That's why standby power is usually the first thing Kent Island homeowners ask us about.

As an authorized Generac dealer, we size and install standby generators with automatic transfer switches, and we offer generator maintenance plans so the unit starts when it's needed. We often pair a generator with a whole-home surge protector at the panel, because lightning over the Bay, and the surge that can come when power is restored, can damage appliances and electronics.

We also handle panel and service upgrades, lighting, EV chargers and repairs for island homes, plus fit-outs and repairs for shops and offices along the Route 50 corridor in Stevensville and Chester. We pull the permits with Queen Anne's County, and if something fails at night, we answer the phone.

How We Help on Kent Island

Generac Generators on Kent Island

For many Kent Island homes, a standby generator is the difference between riding out a storm and packing up. We start with what you need running (sump pump, refrigerator, heating and cooling, a well pump if you have one), size the Generac unit to match, and pick a spot that keeps it clear of flooding and required setbacks. We install the automatic transfer switch and start the unit up, then a generator maintenance plan keeps it exercised and ready for the next storm season.

Whole-Home Surge Protection on Kent Island

Storms over the Bay bring lightning, and the power coming back after an outage can send a surge down the line. A whole-home surge protector installed at your panel is a first line of defense for the electronics, appliances and HVAC equipment in the house. It's an easy add-on when we're already working in the panel, for example during a generator install or a panel upgrade.

Panel Upgrades on Kent Island

Island cottages that have been expanded over the years often have panels that were never sized for central air, a generator and an EV charger at the same time. We replace outdated or full panels, upgrade services, add subpanels for garages and workshops, and tell you up front what your home actually needs. We pull the permit and handle the inspection.

Good to know

Working on Kent Island

01

Queen Anne's County permits

Kent Island is in Queen Anne's County, so permits and inspections go through the county, not Anne Arundel. We pull the permit for your job.

02

Waterfront and low-lying lots

On low-lying shoreline lots, where the generator, panel and outdoor equipment sit relative to storm flooding really matters. We plan placement with that in mind.

03

Critical Area rules

Properties near the shoreline can fall under Chesapeake Bay Critical Area rules, which may affect where new outdoor equipment can go. Ask us early in planning. To confirm

Do you serve Kent Island and Stevensville?

Yes. We serve Kent Island, including Stevensville, Chester and Kent Narrows, and nearby Queen Anne's County communities like Grasonville and Queenstown, from our Annapolis shop across the Bay Bridge. We're open 24 hours, 7 days a week.

Can you install a whole-home generator on a waterfront lot?

Usually, yes. Placement matters more near the water: we look at flood risk, setbacks and any Critical Area rules before recommending a spot. To confirm

Do you offer generator maintenance plans on Kent Island?

Yes. As an authorized Generac dealer, we offer maintenance plans to keep your standby generator ready for storm season.

What does a whole-home surge protector do?

It's installed at your electrical panel and helps limit damaging voltage spikes from lightning or the grid before they reach your appliances and electronics.

Who handles electrical permits on Kent Island?

We pull the permits for our jobs. Since Kent Island sits in Queen Anne's County, we file with Queen Anne's, not Anne Arundel.

Can you help if my power is out or a breaker keeps tripping?

Yes. We're open 24 hours, 7 days a week. If you smell burning or see sparks, get to safety first, then call (443) 515-0559.
