Recommended Customer Reviews

Very happy with his responsiveness. We've used Thilo's services three or four times and he knows his stuff. So glad we found him!

Can't seem to get this guy to call me back or respond to my emails. I am 75 years old with COPD and rely on an oxygen machine just to keep me breathing. I need help with my generator so when the power goes out, as it often does, I'm not left struggling for air. But I can't get a response from this highly recommended electrician. Obviously, I've got to look elsewhere. If you need prompt electrical help, look for someone else.

- Before my review, I'd just like to point out the negative reviews Bendix has are typically because they didn't get a response when they called. If you are one of those reviewers, it really doesn't help us pick a good electric company. (Just like those doctor reviews that complain that his staff was rude, or wouldn't schedule an appointment, etc. - We still don't know if the doctor is any good, right? If he's the guy who can save my life, I'll work around his nasty staff...!) -
Bendix installed our solar system and it has been working great. Rather than put it on our roof we had it installed about 100' down a hill on pedestals, and it has functioned perfectly. The installation was neat and professional. All wiring is wrapped and secured in place. He even ran a water line there so I can wash the panels now and then. The crew was polite and efficient and cleaned everything up, no construction debris anywhere. I had 2 quotes, and his was the lowest but only by a few hundred so price wasn't a factor. Glad I picked them!

Bendix electric did major work on our house when we first moved in a few years ago and had been responsive and great until the fall of 2019. I called Thilo to install a transfer switch for a generator I purchase and he gave me a basic quote. When I called to set up an appointment to do the work, I never received a return call. That call was in January 2020. It is now March and after 10 or more calls I have still not received any return calls. I understand a company being busy, but not even a minute to return a call to say you can't do the work? Return customers are usually the biggest income of any business.
Thilo, thank you for your previous work, it was great, but I got the message loud and clear and I will call another company from now on.

We used Bendix in the past so when we needed an electrician who to call. They were able to work us in this week and took care of several items that needed attention including removing baseboards heaters, wiring, fixed loose wiring on a lamp, installed a new outlet & fixed a light switch. Will definitely contact them for future electrical needs if needed in the future!

Thilo Bendix was awesome. Customer service at its finest, competitive pricing, and immediate response time. He even called me a couple days after he fixed my hot water heater, just to check and make sure it was working okay. There is no doubt that if I need any electrical work in the future, Bendix Electric will be the one I call.

This is the second time We've used Bendix. VERY PLEASED. We just had a Quiet Cool whole house fan installed. Also a few other smaller repairs. They were prompt, efficient, & very neat. So happy.

Bendix Electric has done work for me for many years and Thilo and his crew have always been honest, conscientious, and fair. Most recently some tenants were having electrical troubles on a rental property I own. Bendix returned my call promptly, scheduled the work timely and did everything as promised. The tenants and I are both very happy. I will be calling Bendix Electric the next time I need electrical work done.

Prompt service within tight time constraints that solved an ongoing intermittent service disruption in my home's 110V ac circuit. Quick and correct diagnosis of the fault late on a rainy, snowy afternoon. Thilo Bendix rushed to get the necessary parts for my drop box from the PG&E power line and installed them quickly and efficiently. He explained what was the matter and fixed the problem. My 110V ac circuit is still working flawlessly. Highly recommended.

Great service! We had two small troubleshooting jobs, one to a light fixture and another to a ceiling fan, and they took care of both, promptly and for a fair price. We had to coordinate the service call from the Bay Area and both the office staff and electricians were helpful and professional. We would definitely use these guys again.
