Steve was awesome! He was able to come out quickly, was very professional and explained everything he was doing. There was a small issue with the lights after he left and he came right back out and took care of it. I would highly recommend him.

I have used Bentz Electric several times and couldn't be happier. He always manages to fit me into his schedule and is super patient. I bought a new house last year and figuring out how some of the electrical was set up has been CHALLENGING, but Bentz Electric spent a ton of time to trace the wires thru the attic and the walls and resolve problems I'd been dealing with for months. Terrific company!

Steve Bentz is prompt, works fast and efficiently, his rates are reasonable, and he understands how important it is to stay in touch with his customer. He quickly identified there was an issue with loose wiring behind the wall switch in the master bath. Since my dad passed away and we do not live locally, my husband and I absolutely rely on Angie's List to find exceptional tradesmen in the Chicagoland area to do work on my mom's house. We feel Steve is one of those exceptional tradesmen. One thing we absolutely appreciated about Steve is he communicated with us. He kept us informed every step of the way. We would definitely recommend Bentz Electric Inc. for all your electrician work.
Description of Work: My mom needed someone to fix the lights in her master bathroom. She told me she tried replacing the light bulbs but that did not work, so she turned the breaker OFF/ON a few times, but the lights would not come on at all.

Steve is pleasant, knowledgable, and we would most certainly hire him again. We were having problems with tripping breakers in the lower level of a home we recently purchased. Steve was able to quickly figure out all of the incorrect wiring problems and fixed them. He's very good about explaining what needs to be done.

Everything was GREAT!!! I would totally recommend Bentz Electric to anyone who asks. I was charged a very reasonable price for the work he performed. (I know this because I had another local electrician do work at my house who charged me more for the same type of work.). Steve is very nice, quick to respond, and had an add-on part (the fan/heater/light) ordered and installed just a couple days after we discussed it.
Description of Work: Installed can lights about 2 showers and installed a fan/heater/light

He came the same day that I called him. He determined that we needed a new light fixture. He actually went to Home Depot and purchased a new one and came back and installed it. He charged me less for a whole new fixture than the previous electrician I had who installed two new ballasts in my old fixture. Very nice guy and very impressed with his work ethic. I will definitely use him again and pass his name on.
Description of Work: Investigated a problem with my light fixture and determined that we needed a new one.

He was thorough, professional, listened to what we wanted and cleaned up everything. The fixtures were hung exactly as we wanted them and it was a pleasure working with him.

Steve was right on time and very professional throughout both jobs. He worked straight through on both jobs without a break and completed all work in an outstanding fashion. I would hire him again and will probably hire him for a basement electrical job in a few months.
Description of Work: I needed work done on two separate jobs. One job was for installing 7 major outside coach lights and 2 minor outside door lights. The second job was to install door chimes and transformer with front and back door connection.

I contacted Steve because of his reviews on Angies List. He called me back promptly and he gave me a quote over the phone - he gave me a 10% discount for being and Angies List member! The work was outstanding, he arrived promptly, changed out the outlets, tested everything and cleaned up after himself. And the price was very reasonable! I would highly recomend Bentz Electric.

they not only did a great job on the work but they also completed the work without having to make cuts all over the place to get the wiring in place to work with the existing switch. They saved me quite a bit on having to hire a sheetrock person to start patching a bunch of holes as they looked at the job very closely and was able to determine the best way to run the wires with very little cutting. They also cleaned up after their job very well. Yes I will use them going forward.
