I had a 240V 30A outlet installed for an appliance and Steve made sure the job was done right. Steve was short on hands for this job but I had no problem helping out as I also learned a lot in the process.

Steve did an excellent job. He noticed some code issues from work done by a prior contractor. He fixed the issues and continued with his installation. As a homeowner, I truly appreciate honesty. Thank you Steve for a great job. Incidentally, he is returning for an additional job.

Contacted me fir first visit to get a quote. Then 5 days later changed date to meet then the next day changed the date with no time scheduled. Just had to wait until the day of arrival and wonder what time they would come. Then heard nothing. Went with someone else. And this company had an "A" listing. Hmmmmm?

Steve Bentz gave me an estimate over the phone and came out and did it the next day. The job was made more difficult as a result of my basement had dry walled ceilings. He held true to the quote he gave me over the phone and did an excellent job. I would recommend this company.

I am so satisfied with the work he did. I thought his pricing was fair. He was agreeable as far as timing and I can’t say much more about it. My only wish is that I wish he wore a mask inside considering the climate of what’s going on. But overall A+

My experience with Bentz was fantastic. Steve fixed and re-wired an additional circuit for a refrigerator that was not on its own dedicated circuit and also installed eight can lights in our basement as well as re-wiring another circuit to our water heater. You can tell straight away that Steve is a professional and knows what he is talking about. He is personable and worked extremely efficiently. The end result is fantastic and our basement looks like a completely new room. I will be using Steve for all of my future electrical needs for sure.

He came because my electric bill is over $100. He also told me to take old bulbs out and put new one. He did a good job. He fixed all receptacles, all of them. He also gave me valuable information. He took his time. He was a pleasant guy. He's coming back to bring me new light bulbs. I paid $125 and it was worth it. I would recommend him to anybody. He also checked circuit breaker and showed me switches, he made sure that I knew.

My hot tub circuit breaker was tripping and it was going to be EIGHT DEGREES tonight. If I didn't get this fixed, my tub would have frozen and that would have caused significant damage. Steve took my call this morning while he was on another job, determined what I needed and told me he would be there near 3pm to fix it. He texted me when he was on his way, arrived on time, fixed the problem - and saved the day! He could have taken advantage of my dire situation but was friendly, courteous and charged me a very fair service call price. He even covered up an open junction box in the basement for safety at no charge. It wasn't that the cover was expensive, it was that he cared enough to do it! Great job Steve! Thanks so much!

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.
Description of Work: Two ceiling fans were not working properly. I also wanted a large florescent light in my laundry room to be replaced by 3 new LED ceiling lights.

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.

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.
