Bene Electric

Had my electric go out on part of my house and didn't appear the breakers had tripped. Called Cole and he walked me through some trouble shooting and came to the conclusion that one leg of my 220 from PG&E was the likely culprit. Called PG&E and had their technician out and Cole was right. One leg of the 220 in the box under the sidewalk had failed. Replaced the connector and everything was back up and running within 10 min.

The nicest and most helpful electrician I have ever talked to. Unlike other electricians who are all about money, Mr. Bene teaches me how to troubleshoot and fix small outlet problems. He called me to give me step-by-step instructions on how to troubleshoot my outlet issue. I have GFCI outlets that were not working. All bathrooms and backyard outlets connected to the main garage outlet were not working. Mr. Bene told me to check the ground wire inside the outlet and observe how the tripping happened. He was so patient and keen on helping people that he spent 50 min on the phone to help me fix it.

If you are someone who is looking for good trustworthy electrician, I highly recommend Bene Electric, he is very experienced, and super helpful.

First time using bene electric and will be a lifelong customer. Cole is very knowledgeable, responsive and honest. He knew exactly what the problem was and fixed it very quickly. I would highly recommend him for all your electrical needs!

Mr. Bene is a wonderful, wonderful man.

I had an issue on Thanksgiving Day where my panel was destroyed over a tree root entangling the PG&E live wire, and PG&E was forced to shut my power off. The initial electrician I contacted unfortunately ghosted me after a week in a half.

Still homeless, I reached out to Mr. Bene.

One thing I was impressed with Mr. Bene was that he KNEW the problem right away just by looking at the pictures and could even IDENTIFY the brand of the panel. He was very truthful and honest and even came the next day to look in person free of charge.

But one thing I appreciated is how Mr. Bene went out to bat for me. He constantly communicated with PG&E for me and navigated through their bureaucracy and advocated that I was without power for nearly five weeks (at that point). He has contacts with the city and was able to get the permitting done just like that. The day he came to actually replace the panel he was considerate, wearing masks and feet covers, and finished extremely quickly. I expected a full day; he was done in only two hours. All while cracking jokes and making me feel less alone in a miserable situation.

Mr. Bene takes care of everyone, especially those who live in Pleasanton. Reach out to him first. He is simply the best. His prices are reasonable and he cares for those who get the raw end of the stick. He is very responsive via email, cell or on the phone. I've recommended him to every single one of my neighbors, and those who met him while he was working on my panel asked for his business card because he is someone we all know we can trust.

You wont' regret using his services.

He was wearing a mask, covered his shoes with shoe cover and a superb person ... did the job so quickly. I would love to recommend him for any electrical job !!!

Cole is very personable and responds quickly. I had him fix all kinds of electrical problems with my house that were bugging me, put in new power outlets, hung a ceiling fan, ran an outlet to the outside of my house and even suggested great solutions to problems that I had. His ideas and suggestions are great. His prices are reasonable and he has been upgrading his skills to handle whole house batteries, generators and emergency power to homes. My girlfriend used him to fix a fountain that was not working, installed new outdoor lights, is there anything that he does not do? I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Cole was great to work with. The fastest person to get back to me when I called a bunch of electricians and came out on a weekend to give a me a quote. He was very reasonably priced, friendly to work with, and passionate about the job. Very happy with Cole's work.

We had emergency situation at home where half of the phase blew away. Cole from Bene Electric looked at it and provided very detailed scope of work and answered all my queries with fullest satisfaction. Even cost to fix was lowest. Unfortunately, I was not able to avail his service as issue had to be fixed quickly. But I would really recommend him for his professionalism and knowledge. For my next project, I am certainly hiring him.

Cole did a full LED retrofit of one of our clients offices in San Ramon. One of the lamps he installed was damaged and he knew it. When the client asked to have it replaced Cole was unresponsive. After multiple attempts to reach him, we were forced to use another vendor to replace the light at our cost. They now have another light out, which will be at our cost again.

I called Cole for him to come out to fix my ground fault problem. He was professional, knowledgeable, and patient. Over a total of three phone calls he was able to help me fix the problem without coming to my home. Saved me time and money. Call him first. Even if he charges you for the phone support it will save you time and money.
