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.

Cole came out to our house early last month after we had a series of incidents where our circuit breakers kept tripping. He made a minor fix, though didn't seem to get to the root of the problem. Charged us a reasonable sum, $210, and said if the problem recurs to call him and he'll pop right out.

Three weeks later, the problem recurred (though in 2 different rooms). We called him at 8:30 in the morning on a Friday and didn't get a callback. Called his cell phone at 12:30 and he answered while on a job in San Jose. He remembered us and said he'd be out to take a look in 2 hours.

Two, three, four hours passed and nothing. At 4:30 I texted him, no response. At 5:30 I called him, no answer. At 5:45 he called me, but thought he was responding to someone else. Would he come out that evening, or the next day? ""Can't. I'm on an important job,"" he said.

Which told me everything about his priorities.

I can't speak highly enough of the owner Cole, who did a lot of electric work for me like fan installations, lights over bathroom vanities, install of wall TV. Cole was honest, concerned, great prices and very professional. Other electricians wanted to tear my walls up to get the job done but he went around that saving me $ for patching, and painting. He employs good electricians also.
Fast, reliable, good work, thanks to these guys for taking care of all my worries!

I needed some help with converting a exterior porch can light (LOW VOLTAGE CFL) to a drop down hanging light. I went to Home Depot and asked someone there because the electricians that I called wanted up to $400.00 to do the job. I am fairly handy but I really don't know much about electrical. I had low voltage wiring and had to get it converted back to the 110.

Home Depot directed me to Red Beacon to search for someone. Cole was the 1st person that called me back. Without even hiring him he gave me so much details on what needed to be done. I was able to get to transformer or converter box of the can that transferred it into low voltage. I just didn't know what to do.

What amazed me about Cole is that he told me its fairly easy. So easy that he said as long as I am handy and comfortable enough that he would walk me through it. I didn't quite understand what he was telling me to do so he asked me to email him pictures which I did. Later that night he called me back and gave me instructions based of what I was looking at. From there I finally understood what he was telling me to do and figured it out fairly easily.

I have never written a review on yelp but I was honestly amazed by Cole's customer service that I felt I had to. That really was going above and beyond and with his help I was able to get this done myself and save a ton of money!!

I will absolutely be keeping Cole's phone # handy in the even I ever need any kind of electrical done.

Cole is great. Our electric box on the side of our house got fried so we called around for a good electrician. Most didn't call me back. One that did came over and told us we need to get a permit, and that he doesn't have the time to handle it. Cole, however, not only handled that for us, but did a great job in upgrading our box to a much better performing, reliable version. He's also just a great guy who is very professional and knows his job through and through.
