"Super fast and reliable. Nancy in the office worked hard to help me out in a bind. I will absolutely recommend them to anybody in Ocean City."
"Tony was an excellent, knowledgeable electrician. He did a beautiful chandelier install and some troubleshooting quickly and efficiently. We would definitely use them again."
"I had a last minute electrical issue right before guests arrived. They fit me in the next day, then called about a cancellation so they could come even sooner."
"The office staff were very communicative and even called about an earlier opening. The electrician, Mike, showed up on time and worked efficiently to get the job done."
"Mike and Todd installed our five fans, explained the remotes, gave us fair pricing, and left the house clean. We would call them again."
"Great customer service, quality work, and a great price. I highly recommend using Royal Plus Electric."
"I have used Royal Plus Electric for years, for my church, my daughter's home, and my own. You never get an answering machine, always a friendly and knowledgeable person, and always prompt service."
Backup power, done right
Standby Generator Services On The Eastern Shore
From a whole house standby unit to a building that cannot afford a minute of downtime, we handle the load calculation, the generator, the automatic transfer switch, the fuel, and the maintenance that keeps it starting for years.
Whole House Standby Generators
An automatic backup generator wired to your electrical panel. It senses the outage, starts within seconds, and powers your whole house or the circuits you choose, then shuts down on its own when utility power returns. No cords, no manual start.
Size my generator High demandCommercial And Facility Backup
Standby power for restaurants, rental properties, medical offices, and light industrial sites. We plan the load, the fuel, and the transfer so your business keeps running, your inventory stays cold, and your doors stay open.
Talk commercial backupAutomatic Transfer Switches
The automatic transfer switch is what makes standby power automatic. We install and wire it to code so the load moves off the grid and back safely, with no risk to your equipment or the utility crew on the line.
How it worksGenerator Sizing And Load Calculations
We measure the real electrical load you want to protect and size the generator in kilowatts to match. You are not oversold on capacity you will never use, and you are not left short when the storm hits.
Get sized rightNatural Gas And Propane Hookup
Standby generators run on natural gas or propane. We coordinate the fuel line, set the unit on a proper pad, and make sure the gas and the electrical are both done to code and passed by the inspector.

Annual service, load bank testing, and fast repair on Generac, Kohler, Cummins, and other brands, whether we installed the unit or not. A generator only earns its keep if it starts the day you actually need it.
Book serviceHome standby power
Whole House Backup, Sized For Your Home
Outages on the coast rarely come at a convenient time. A properly sized home standby generator keeps your heat or air, your sump pump, your well, your refrigerator, and any medical equipment running, so a power cut is an inconvenience instead of an emergency. We walk your panel, calculate the load, and recommend the unit that fits your home and your budget.
- Whole house coverage or a managed set of essential circuits
- Automatic transfer switch, so it starts and stops on its own
- Runs quiet on natural gas or propane and installed to code
Commercial backup
Backup Power That Keeps Your Doors Open
For a restaurant, a rental, a medical office, or a small plant, an outage means lost revenue, spoiled product, and customers turned away. We design commercial backup power around how your building actually runs, from the load study through the transfer gear, so the lights, the coolers, and the point of sale never miss a beat.
- Light commercial and whole building backup
- Load studies, phased installs, and transfer gear that meets code
- Maintenance agreements and priority service to keep it ready
How it works
From First Call To Storm Ready
No runaround. Three clear steps from your first call to a generator that starts on its own.
On Site Assessment And Load Sizing
A licensed electrician reviews what you want to protect, your panel, and your fuel, then sizes the generator and gives you a firm price up front. No pressure and no vague estimate.
Professional Installation
We set the generator on its pad, wire the automatic transfer switch, coordinate the gas line, and pull the permit so every part of the job is inspected and to code.
Startup, Testing, And Service
We commission the unit, test it under load, and show you how it runs. Then an annual maintenance plan keeps it ready for the next outage.
Why Royal Plus Electric
The Crew That Installs It Is The Crew That Services It
Plenty of outfits will drop a generator in your yard. Royal Plus Electric sizes it correctly, installs it to code, and is still on the Eastern Shore to service it years later. That is the difference between a box that looks the part and backup power you can count on when a nor'easter rolls in.
Sized On Your Real Load
We base the generator on a true load calculation, so you are not paying for capacity you will never use or coming up short in an outage.
Licensed, Permitted, And To Code
Every install is permitted, inspected, and completed by a licensed Maryland electrician. The gas and the electrical are both handled correctly.
Here For The Long Run
Local since 1988, with annual maintenance and 24/7 emergency support. When you call, a person who knows generators answers.
"Wired Around The World." When the coast loses power, a Royal Plus Electric standby generator keeps your home or business running.

Good to know
Standby Generator Questions, Answered
What size standby generator do I need?
It depends on what you want to keep running. We perform a load calculation on your home or building, review your electrical panel and your fuel supply, and size the generator in kilowatts to match. A whole house unit covers everything, while a managed load unit powers the essential circuits for less money. You get the size and the price before any work begins.
How does an automatic standby generator work?
A standby generator sits outside like a central air unit and connects to your panel through an automatic transfer switch. When utility power drops, it starts within seconds, powers your circuits, and switches back to the grid when the outage ends. You do not need to be home or start anything by hand.
Should my generator run on natural gas or propane?
Both are common on the Eastern Shore. If you have natural gas at the meter we can tie into it for an unlimited fuel supply. If not, propane is an excellent option and only needs a tank. We coordinate the fuel hookup and make sure the gas work is done to code.
How much does a standby generator cost in Ocean City?
Price depends on the generator size, your fuel type, and the length of the electrical and gas runs. Rather than a vague number, we give you a firm quote after an on site load assessment, so you know exactly what your standby generator installation will cost before you commit.
Do Not Get Caught In The Dark Again
Tell us about your home or building and we will size the right standby generator and give you a firm price. Storm season on the coast does not wait, and neither should your backup power.
