Bentley Electric Inc

Electrical, Lighting, Ceiling Fans,

About us

Multi-year Angie's List Super Service Award winning company that specializes in re-wiring projects and panel upgrades. Bentley Electric was established in 1950 by my Dad, Vernon Bentley. While in high school in Corvallis Oregon, I started helping out with the family business to make extra money. Working as an electrician’s helper, I began to see the “trades” were a good way to make a living, but was not so sure about doing the same work as my Dad. Wanting something different, I proceeded to get my associated degree in HVAC. Well, it turned out heating and cooling work was not for me. I entered the electrical apprenticeship program, and in 1984, bought Bentley Electric.

When the main reason for our call turned out to be a simple fix, he said, "You've got us for another 50 minutes - what else would you like to have us take care of?" I highly recommend Bentley Electric!

Patrick came out today and spent 2.5 hours looking at the electrical in our new home. The sub-panel wasn't labeled correctly and we had some outlet issues (identified from the home inspection at time of sale). He did a great job making sure everything was done right, if not he fixed it. He replaced some GFCI outlets that were bad and some that were wired wrong. Overall great experience. On time and worth every penny. In fact, I've asked for a quote on installing a garbage disposal - now that they know how my wiring is laid out.

Two guys came out for a day, they did a fine job, and I was very pleased. I got them off of Angie's List. The experience went just fine. They were friendly and competent. They did a good job across the board. I got a couple of estimates, and their price was lower than others.
Description of Work: We used Bentley Electric Inc. They installed 2 sets of track lights, and they installed 2 wall sconces.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It worked out fine. They were on time, they just did a good job, and they were efficient. They were very nice, no problems, and they were pretty responsive when I emailed or texted them. I paid $140. It took a little bit more time and then I asked them to complete the work.
Description of Work: Two men from Bentley Electric Inc. installed 5 lighting fixtures in December.

Excellent. When they finished their allotted time, I had forgotten 2 very important tasks, but they reminded me thankfully! I was more than willing to pay them regular hourly fee as they had to reschedule other appointments in order to accommodate my request. This meant a lot to me as their prices were so good and I did not want to postphone the 2 tasks as they were so critical to be done that day and that day only.
Description of Work: Replaced thermostat for 2 of my heaters, replaced a 'toe heater', installed 9yr. warranty lightbulb on second story ceiling in stairs leading to 2nd. story,and replaced outdoor motion light fixture adjusting the 2 lights to request.

It went very well. Was replaced the same day Jay came to look it over. Jay took care of everything with permits etc. Jay kept in contact to let us know when the inspection would be. Also when the electric co would be out to cut power. All went very well and the total price was very acceptable.

We played phone tag for several weeks before we were able to schedule a date, but that was not a major issue. Jay showed up promptly with his partner on the date and time scheduled. Completed the work in a little over an hour. Very professional. Explained everything he was doing.

We have an office that is enclosed by a set of French Doors; unfortunately, the open position of the French Doors made it difficult to access the light switch when entering the room. Bentley Electric installed a new 3-way switch outside of the room and replaced the existing switch in the room so that the lights could be turned on or off from either switch. The quality of their work was top notch with no collateral damage to the walls from the install; the installation of the new switch truly looks original to the house and I am very happy with the work provided by Bentley Electric.

Purchased deal on 11/24, answered email on 11/27 with my phone number, waited for call, no call. One week later, called Bentley, they said they has so many responses to Angie's List ad they were swamped and wanted to schedule service for 07:30 time frame, but no date, would call back to schedule date. Waited a week and no call, sent email to Angie's List for refund and hired another contractor.

We purchased a big deal for the service, and it was okay. It cost me more than the original amount. He had another person with him who seemed to be in training, and he said it was the price that I paid was for 2 hours, or one hour because they were two. They were there less than 2 hours, but I had to pay for the other person.
Description of Work: We used Bentley Electric Inc. He inspected my electrical box, he fixed my heaters that were put incorrectly by someone else, and he put my sump pump and tankless water heater on a single circuit.

Both Jay and the other electrician with him were very courteous, conscientious and professional. They made no mess and took away the old parts for recycling. Arrived on time and there was plenty of correspondence both by phone and email prior to the scheduled date. There were no surprises. I liked both of the men and I think they did a great job. I would use them again.
Description of Work: Jay and one of the electricians that work with him changed out the motor assembly on an exhaust fan, checked out my two Cadet space heater and tightened the box on each as well as checked a baseboard heater, replaced two old smoke detectors with new ones, checked out my bathroom exhaust fan (nothing could really be done about it other than completely replacing it) and finally checked my circuit/electrical box.

Response from Bentley Electric Inc
Thank you for your feedback. The Big Deal offer page clearly states "Can be one electrician for 2 hours or two electricians for 1 hour." I do encourage my customers to have an adequate list of jobs, because two electricians can get a lot of work done in 1 hour. The hourly charge you mentioned is for anything over the 2 hours purchased in the Big Deal. Your work was completed in a timely manner, and I am sorry you weren't satisfied.

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and it went real well. They were prompt, really nice and very knowledgeable. There was nothing really bad. They were very quick and communicated very well. They were a little late coming to my house, but they had called me to let me know they were going to be late and the reason for it. I have nothing but praise for them. They were really good and professional.
Description of Work: I used Bentley Electric for several electrical/rewiring projects. One was in my garage and another was on my deck. They also fixed the light switch in my bathroom, put in a new light in my closet and fixed my doorbell.

Jay Bentley and his assistant installed two ceiling fans. Both were in locations that had previously had ceiling fans so no additional bracing was needed. One fan was an older model that we had in storage for several years and needed a light added. The second fan with a light was installed in a vaulted ceiling and had a wall mounted control that needed to be installed. Jay and his assistant were very pleasant, efficient and professional.

They showed up on time to the minute! They worked very quickly, fixed the problems and were done early. I would have had a longer list had I known, but I have never seen such a quick, efficient crew for electrical! Regardless, the $99 deal was great, and I will have him back in the future when we need some more electrical work done. Nice to see such an ethical, hardworking company! Highly recommend.
Description of Work: The provider repaired a personal street lamp on my private road that hasn't worked for several years; inspected, repaired and relabeled my electrical wiring (last contractor didn't follow code) so now I am up to code; inspected fire detectors.
