Electrician in Stevensville, MD – Storm Damage & Repairs

Stevensville, Maryland sits on Kent Island at the eastern end of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and is the most populous community in Queen Anne's County. Out on the island, wind off the Bay is a fact of life, and storms here can be serious; a tornado in July 2017 damaged homes, trees and power lines in Stevensville.

After a storm, look at where the power line meets your house. If the mast is bent, the meter box is pulled away from the wall or a wire is hanging, stay back, call your utility, then call an electrician for the house side. Do not try to push anything back into place.

Many Kent Island households run portable generators during outages. Never plug one into a wall outlet or dryer receptacle to power the house; it can backfeed the lines and injure utility crews. Ask the electrician about an interlock or transfer switch, and about whole-house surge protection while they are there. Commuters who cross the bridge each day can ask the provider about early or late appointment times.
