Lincoln made it four wins from five games and moved up to eighth as they won an entertaining game at Chester.
Matt Rhead netted his 11th goal of the season for the Imps when he headed Lee Beevers' cross into the bottom corner.
Jordan Chapell levelled from Johnny Hunt's cross before Kegan Everington scored his first Lincoln goal.
Captain Alan Power headed in to increase Lincoln's lead, before Ross Hannah pulled one back from Tom Shaw's pass, but it was too late for Chester.
Lincoln City manager Chris Moyses told BBC Radio Lincolnshire:
"To a man they were incredible. They dug in and they worked hard. I don't think anybody comes here and gets an easy ride because Chester are a good team.
"That's what we're about. We're not the biggest squad in the division by any stretch of the imagination but we're together, we work hard and we don't let each other down.
"The fans were great again. These are a special group of players and we've got good staff so it's a pleasure to be here at the moment."
