Description of Work: We met with Benfield General Sales Manager, Mr. Tony Testa to consider installing a 20KW whole house generator. It was a good experience. We believed that we obtained a very good quote for equipment and installation. | |We determined, based on our situation, expected time remaining in the house, amount of the investment, and current time of exposure to power outages, it was not a prudent decision to have it installed. If there were a medical situation in the household requiring 100% power or we had frequent power outages/interruptions we would have had it installed immediately. If either of these situations appears in the future, our first call will be to Tony at Benfield. | |The important part of this experience was meeting with Tony, who is very knowledgeable and whose up-front answers to our questions and his suggestions for an economical install were very helpful. He was able to clarify all the questions and show us where and when their company would install and how to maintain the unit. He provided the quote quickly and clearly and followed up with us to see if we had further questions. We were pleased with this experience. | |I would recommend Tony and the company to you if you are seriously considering a generator | |

Description of Work: performed maintenance on generac 17kw generator and fixed sticking choke by cleaning and lubricating part -- did not need to replace it. Very impressive, punctual service. Signed up for the annual quarterly maintenance program for the generator. I feel relieved that I have quality, reliable service for my generator which is essential to keep my aviary of parrots warm in this cold weather and alive. Very, very impressive work by very knowledgeable and congenial technician. Imparted a great sense of security that the technician was experienced and knew what he was doing. Capability and competence are PRICELESS.

Description of Work: Wow! A service company that arrives ontime! What a novel idea! They came to check out problems with the outside lamp post. They checked my GFI switch in the master bathroom which was tripping and is on the same circuit as the lamp post which had recently been replaced. They replaced the GFI at no charge and replaced the wiring in the lamp post. Demonstrated by covering the sensor that the light on the post was working. I was very happy with the work and the professionalism of the technicians.

Generators are like cars, they have engines and need to be maintained. They are set up to run for 15 minutes one day per week. If there is an electrical outage and the unit runs for several hours or days additional maintenance would be required. We thoroughly explain to customers how important it is to get a maintenance contract. That way we call you when it's time.

Description of Work: Fixed electrical problem after AC got installed. They were honest about the problem and it needed far less labor/involvement than anticpated. Also hung a chandelier for me and tried to work out a problem with our light switches.

Description of Work: They removed two light fixtures and replaced them with two ceiling fans. While installing the ceiling fans one of the worker dropped a tool and damaged a hardwood floorboard. He did not tell me and I discovered it after they left and I had to send an e-mail to their company. This is the reason for the C for Professionalism. Jim Tharp did reimburse me for the repair of my floor, so he was a Professional! It is too bad his employee was not. Other than that they did an excellent job on the installation. Maybe next time they will be up front with customers when an accident happens. The Angie's List Special was $170.00 and I paid another $150.00 because they had to put in a different box for each fan.

Response from Benfield Electric of Virginia Inc.
Our electrician didn't notice it at the time, there was debris on the floor covering it up he thinks. When he and his helper cleaned up they evidently didn't see it either. In any event when the home owner called and brought it to my attention I asked her to get an estimate and e-mail it to me. I told her to have the repair done and we would send her a check to cover it and she did. My men are very trust worthy but mistakes happen, we stand behind our work or mistakes and make things right.

Description of Work: Every one I spoke with was very nice, they just didn't know what service to provide for the coupon I got from Angie's list. Which as a Complete In-Home Electrical Hazzard Assessment. Next time I'll call to ask the company about the coupon so everyone's on the same page.

Response from Benfield Electric of Virginia Inc.
This coupon should have never been on this site. It has since been removed. We actually offer this on our web site for free. It is designed to introduce customers to our CurrentSafe testing service. During the appointment our sales staff will test the GFCI outlets, smoke detectors and spot test some other outlets as well as do a visual on the electrical panel. The customer is then shown what a CurrentSafe test is and what types of hidden problems we have found in other customers homes we have tested. The sales staff will have an actual copy of a home we tested and go through it with the home owner. Then that customer is given a price based on their home and square footage.
