I am very pleased with the results of all the jobs. The two fans are back in working order, and I love my newly lit laundry space. I had been concerned with the lighting fixtures I had chosen, so I contacted Steve prior to his visit, sending him a picture. He immediately responded and assured me that they were appropriate for the space. We set up an appointment for a few days later. Steve has done work for me before, and I have always been satisfied with the work. I trust that he will do a great job.

I've used Steve a number of times over the last couple of years to run new circuits in my basement and garage. He's friendly, on time and always professional. I will absolutely use again any time I need electrical work done.

We have hired Steve several times and this time he installed 3 ceiling fans, 5 lighting fixtures. He also advised us of and corrected improper electrical connection in attic (extension cord!) done by contractor from prior owner for radon mitigation system. We appreciate his expertise and quality work, and would not hesitate to hire again.

Steve assessed rooms and made excellent suggestions for # and LED type of lights - for energy efficiency and proper illumination. Had used him prior and pleased again with fair price and quality service. Will use again for more work.

I had another electrician out to replace an outside outlet with a GFI plug. The outlet had never worked since moving in but it had to be replaced as part a buyers request. (We had sold the house and were taking care of their repair items.) The first electrician did replace it and we mentioned it hadn't worked. He said it would have been cost prohibitive to repair. After much deliberation, my wife and I didn't feel right about replacing the plug but it still not working. I called Steve, the owner, and he came out the next day and quickly fixed the problem. Both outlets now work. He charged us a fair service fee. There wasn't any parts that needed to be replaced. He checked the wiring in a nearby switch and found it wasn't wired properly. Steve was in-and-out in 20 minutes. I couldn't be happier with the service.

I could not be happier! It was done in a very timely and professional manner, and they were very friendly and easy to work with. Steven was also very helpful in answering any questions I had regarding the project. It looks amazing!! I will definitely hire them again for any electrical work I need in the future.

I have used this company a couple of times, and the experience and results are always great. Steve, the owner, is professional, thorough and excels with his knowledge and service. He is punctual, and couldn't be easier to deal with- gets you scheduled quickly, shows up, does great work and leaves the area clean from the work. I am happy when friends/family ask for a referral for an electrician, because that's a no brainer to send them to Bentz. Pricing is also more than competitive, and I'm thrilled that when I need service in this area, I just need to call one company. Highly recommended!

The fridge was on a combined GFCI breaker along with the garbage disposal and two other outlets along the counter. As a result, the breaker kept tripping. The outlets are old and set into the beadboard, so that it's not an easy task to replace the outlets. Instead, they added a new outlet behind the fridge on it's own breaker. They analyzed the situation and provided a solution that met my requirement of a quick solution for now, with a more complete analysis down the road. I'm planning to have them return in the Spring to upgrade/replace the entire breaker panel.

Very well. Flexible and responsive to meet timing of initial set up after framing and then coming back to complete work after walls put up. Steve is great to work with and very good at coming up with ideas to meet your needs.

I called Bentz Electric in the morning and Steven Bentz said he would be at my house about 1:30 that afternoon. He called me to let me know he was on his way and arrived when he said he would. He was very professional as well as being very personable. He ended up having to take out the entire switch box and installed a new one. I was extremely happy with his work and company. I definitely recommend him to anyone needing an electrician and I would call him again if I needed to!

Excellent work and professional service. They arrived on time and did the job in the time frame that they said they would. The new panel is a major improvement over what was there. They repaired previous work and brought it up to code. I can say without reservation that Bentz Electric is the only electrician that I'll use from now on.

I lost power to my laundry room out of no where one day. I had a family member of mine who has some handyman type electric skills try and figure it out and he was unable to. So I knew I had to hire a professional so I turned to Angies list and I chose Bentz Electric due to the good customer reviews and the fact he was local. To resolve the issue in my laundry room took two visits. The first Steve spent two hours or more trying to diagnose the source of the failure which could not be identified the first day due to the fact my laundry room was installed into a custom room after the houses initial construction and the finishing of the basement covered access to where electric lines ran to/from. It was going to be a two man job to figure it out and a later date was rescheduled. Steve did not charge me for the two + hours of his time and was only charged a consultation fee of $85. The second appointment date I had my problem resolved. Steve did come with another guy and together they figured out what the previous owners had done to get power to my custom laundry room. It required cutting the drywall in the ceiling of my basement soffit and dining room. They did a great job in minimizing the area they had to cut which lead them to the source of the problem. There was a electric box with some lose wires/nuts which was not properly covered and packed with insulation around it which was also big fire hazard. They rewired everything the way it should of been done originally and installed a new circuit for the laundry room which it previously shared with kitchen lighting. They also installed a new electric outlet I requested somewhere else in my home. The second visit with two electricians was about 4 hours. So the overall man hours was maybe around 10 between both appointments. There was a new circuit installed for my laundry room and one for a additional 1 off outlet i wanted somewhere else. They did a quality job and I would look to hire them again for future electric needs I may have.

Very easy to communicate with, which is very important to me. Very professional work. No more noisy, creaking fan. My new fan was installed in my master bedroom. It is whisper quiet, so now I can actually sleep with it on! I would hire Bentz Electric again for future work.

Steve came out the same day I called to view my project and sent me a quote later that day. His price was reasonable. They did the work the next week and did a great job. Steve and his team left the house clean. I love my new kitchen lighting. Steve was professional and did a quality job. I would definitely hire him again.
