Chesapeake Controls

Chesapeake Controls has operated from Chesapeake, Virginia for four decades, delivering smart building automation solutions to commercial clients across southeastern Virginia. The company holds a 4.0-star rating from 11 customer reviews and maintains business hours Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. Their client base spans multiple sectors including schools, healthcare facilities, government buildings, industrial properties, retail establishments, and energy service companies (ESCOs). Under President Rick Evans, the contractor has built its reputation on integrating heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, and security systems into unified, web-based platforms that property managers can monitor and control remotely.

What distinguishes Chesapeake Controls from standard HVAC contractors is their specialization in open-source, web-based building automation architectures that allow facility managers full control through smartphones or tablets. The company maintains partnerships with major industry manufacturers including Honeywell, Siemens Desigo, Tridium Vykon, and N4 Analytics. This technology-first approach means they can upgrade legacy building systems with modern, programmable controls that reduce energy consumption while improving occupant comfort. Their 40-year track record in the Hampton Roads region has produced repeatable solutions for complex commercial environments where multiple building systems must operate in concert.

Customer feedback highlights the practical results of their building automation upgrades, with clients noting improvements in parking lot lighting and overall facility control. The company offers free demonstrations to help prospective clients understand how web-based automation can simplify building operations and reduce maintenance overhead. Their process begins with a no-cost demonstration followed by customized planning tailored to each facility's specific requirements, whether managing a single building or multiple properties across their service region.
