Everything went nicely, no problems, and as always the place was neat & clean when he left.
Description of Work: Earlier Steve had installed a "transfer switch" so that I could readily hook up my generator to the house in the event of a power outage. I asked him to come back and install a "whole house surge protector" which he did.

Steve wired our new house and outbuilding, helping us decide the layout with thoughtful advice. More recently he has rewired our well house and helped my husband with a faulty switch on a machine. Steve knows his business from A to Z and offers his service with courtesy and timeliness.
Description of Work: We've been using Benfield Electric for years, since we built our house in 1995. Steve is knowledgeable, resourceful and professional. He will find solutions to fit your budget while maintaining quality and safety.

They had a bit of difficulty finding the proper unit for my old Square D circuit panel but got it ordered and installed without difficulty. Since the panel was running out of space it was necessary to install two (2) double breakers to make room for the surge protector which added to the cost but was expected. They did a neat clean and efficient job in about 45 minutes once they had all the parts, they are a pleasure to work with and they do it right the first time.
Description of Work: I wanted them to install a "whole house" surge protector on a panel that is twenty-one years old.

Called Steve Benfield and told him of the need, he was willing to come out the same day but asked that he come out the following morning, he arrived five minutes early! He took down the old fixtures, evaluated the situation and installed good substantial boxes within 30-40 minutes. He offered to install the new fixtures but we had yet to pick them up so he cleaned up (very little mess) and took my old fixtures out to my garage for future disposition. Great service and first class work!!!
Description of Work: The builder that built our house used a lousy electrician, Steve Benfield has been assisting me over the years getting things right. In this case two bathroom light fixtures were installed without outlet boxes behind them. We wanted to put a a new style fixture and a well installed outlet box would be required. Steve came out and installed them quickly.

It went very well overall. There were two guys that came out from Benfield Electric and they were on time which was nice. They got the job done quickly and the price that they quoted me before they started was still the same amount when the job was finished. If there was a discrepancy they told me about it. I would hire them again in the future if necessary.
Description of Work: I hired Benfield Electric to remodel my bathroom and closet. They also did some wiring in my kitchen.

They arrived ontime, did the work for the agreed price and cleaned up after themselves. They also pointed out a couple of things that needed attention, it wasn't electrical work so they didn't gain, but because it was 'neigborly'.

I called late in the day Friday. Steve said he could be there in a half an hour and that's when he showed up. He fixed my mistake and was very courteous and informative about what I did wrong. While he was here I told him about some work I wanted to do in the future and he gave me an estimate for the work, even told me that if I bought the parts it would save me money on the work. Very impressed with his personality, knowledge, and honesty!
Description of Work: He fixed a lighting switch problem after I had tried to do the work myself and didn't get it right! He fixed it quickly and didn't make me feel bad for tying to do it myself. The nice thing was that he showed me what to do the next time and also showed me 2 tools that would be very good to have in my tool box for electrical work in the future.

He did all of the wiring for the lights. He also did the wiring for a new ceiling light fixture that goes over the counter. He removed a large light fixture from the kitchen. The wiring and functions for at least 4 wall switches were changed. Four new wall switches were also installed. One receptacle was installed over the microwave. While there, he noticed the garbage disposal was not working and he was able to fix it. I also mentioned that I had had a problem with a three way switch and he fixed that as well. He is very accommodating, helpful, and nice. We are very happy with the overall work. They were very professional. I enjoyed their personalities.
Description of Work: He installed 13 cans (recessed lighting), installed lighting under the cabinet.

Steve and his partner Juan came within the hour. He explained to me in detail what had to be done, why he was doing what he was doing, and I appreciated this because I know nothing about electrical wiring. Steve`s price was half of everyone else I had called, first he changed out the circuits, then figured out how he was going to run the wiring, always making sure before hand that it was okay with me, most people don`t take time like that!
Description of Work: Steve came over the SAME DAY and installed wiring for my new hot tub, he had to change the circuits in the garage, run the wiring through the crawl space {snakes,eek!}, continue to run wiring under the deck, around the spa and then install a separate box to run the spa!!

Steve is very personable and humorous, yet professional in his work. His attention to details is rarely found in others. He did small things such as tighten up wires in the main breaker, check for leaks even though all he did was wire the disposal before installation, and worked with the mindset of making it as easy as possible for the plumbers to install the new appliances. The attitude of making work easier for someone else should be honored by all. He cleaned up so well that I couldn't tell he had ever been around. Payment was reasonable. I will use him again and readily recommend him to others.
Description of Work: Ground wire for new dishwasher, wired for new garbage disposal (none previously existed) in older home.

I have only positive things to say about this electrical group. They are phenomenal to put it mildly. They work hard and we simply would use no other company. It is a husband and wife that work as a team and they do such pristine work. They charge about $20.00 an hour but they can charge that because they are so popular in this area. I have no complaints about their prices though. Our work was subbed out to them by a general contractor so I can not say exactly how much we paid. They are fantastic.
Description of Work: I have a 300 square foot kitchen. This company rewired that entire area. Their work included running wires through my walls, putting in outlets and fans.

I know that everything is fine and in working order because all the work was inspected. I have no problems what so ever. I did not have any problems when they were here either. They were very nice and courteous to me. We did talk quite a bit. I was kind of interested in their profession. This is hard work, but very important. They explained to me what they were doing and how they were doing it. I really learned a lot from them.

We had no problems at all using this company. We found all the people involved treated us with the utmost respect. We love the new furnace they installed for us. We had a few quotes, and this company ranked right at the top. We decided to use them because of how well they presented themselves and the quote to us. The guy who did the actual installation was very clean cut and polite. He made sure there were no gas leaks before he left. He also let us know to call them immediately if we run into any problems with the new furnace.
Description of Work: Benfield Electric sent one man out to install our new 50000 BTU gas furnace with a 93% efficiency rating in our home. He also did an air flow test to our vents to make sure they were getting the proper amount of air coming out of them.

This company has very clean cut and polite people working for them. They really made you feel real comfortable with dealing with them. Their prices were very highly competitive to other companies in the area, and most of the times it was better. This guy was in, had the job done, and was out in no time at all. He made sure everything worked before he left, and that there were no gas leaks of any kind. He even gave a demonstration on how to shut off the gas line if we did not know already.

I thought that was very nice of them to do that. I do not believe that they charged for that service. I believe that it was included with the price of the unit and the installation charge. The charge for everything was around $2800 which I thought was average. Anyways, they did do a good job with everything. I have no complaints. This company is by far OK with me. They did do exactly what they came here to do. They took their time and made sure that the safety of my family came first.
Description of Work: Benfield Electric came back and checked all the electrical on our heating and air conditioning unit once it was installed. They came back to ensure that all the electrical work was done properly. I guess it was kind of like a service check.
