Bene Electric

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.

Cole completed a panel upgrade and backyard lighting project for me recently ,I reached out to a few electricians for a quote and he was in line with many of the reasonable quotes and on finally working out schedules etc. I went with cole. He had a very open and clear communication style and i was able to let him know what i needed exactly and he completed the work in time and ensured the small changes were accommodated as the project progressed. One thing i liked about him is follow up , he followed up on a item that retailer had shipped and came back and installed it as part of the initial contract. He also left things they way they were supposed to and fixed my drywall to my satisfaction. Overall I will definitely recommend him for projects.

Our oven/stove kept shorting out and we were afraid to use it. I spoke with Cole Bene and described what we observed. He came out the next morning and diagnosed the problem. He not only fixed it promptly but he also evaluated other possible sites of problems and made sure everything was safe and in working order. We also had a problem with our outside lights that a handyman and another electrician could not figure out. Cole resolved this problem as well. If you need an electrician I highly recommend him. He really knows his business.
