ElectricianGenerator ShopGenerator Service & Repair
Family owned and operated in Bergen County, New Jersey since the early 1980's, Benson Ver Hage Electric is a classic Mom and Pop business. Rich and Doris Ver Hage bought the business in 1984 and quickly made it their own. Working side by side, after Rich spent years working as an electrician and manager for others. They grew this business into the multifaceted company it is today. By bringing in two of their sons, they were able to expand not only the workload but also the area they could cover. The business began in Closter, NJ and now has offices in Midland Park, NJ and Wyckoff, NJ. We operate our business out of Bergen County, but we service all of New Jersey and parts of New York and Pennsylvania. By keeping this a family business the family values are strong in the company. The family's strong work ethic makes for availability to their customers twenty four hours a day, seven days a week if an emergency were to arise after hours. The family's moral values assure customers a safe, clean, and friendly experience. All of our employees are fully trained and also believe in the same standards. An owner is only a phone call away for any customer who wants to speak or meet with them. Over the years as we have expanded, our services have grown. We can provide services from a small residential job to large corporate wirings. Residential jobs include service calls, small repairs, new circuits, new services, storm damage repairs, lighting design, recess lighting, surge protection and indoor, outdoor and new construction wiring. While we are in your home, allow us to explain to you some of our other residential services. Do you want an alarm system?

    Our family had a very bad experience with this company, and we want everyone to be aware of it. Hopefully, this awareness will help you to save money and time. We have our generator installed 6 years ago, by another company, and all those years it was working fine. This year in springtime Generac sent us a postcard with a recall, so we called Benson Ver Hage Electric to follow with the repair required by that recall, and to perform the maintenance on the generator at the same time. After their first visit, which cost us $836, everything went down the heel - generator stopped working after the second-week test run. Of course, we couldn’t prove that it happened because of the maintenance they did even though it looked like it. Anyway, we called them multiple times, they were very busy with lots of calls from Northern NJ due to hurricane-related power losses, and after several weeks we finally got someone to come and check our generator, and informed us, that we need to replace a cylinder head, or in worse case even to replace entire cylinder...After that, it took again several weeks and several calls to schedule the next appointment to fix the generator. This one was a complete failure – instead of fixing the generator, the technician started again from reviewing the previously identified problem, and noticed that he does not have with him cylinder head, and told us that the generator would need a new engine, since they are not able to replace a cylinder, and it will roughly cost us around 2200 dollars for them to replace it. At the same time, we received a bill for the first visit – 200 dollars. When we saw that bill, we realized, that if we are dealing with such a company, we soon will be getting the second one for the second visit. And that exactly what happened in a week. After multiple calls to the Customer service and Billing department, we finally reached the owner of the company, and he graciously authorized to waive the cost for the second visit. So, we decided to call another company after we had already paid this company more than 1000 dollars, and our generator was still broken. Guess what, another company immediately sent a technician and provided us with a free estimate. It turned out there is no need to replace the entire engine. The cylinder head was obtained and replaced within one week, and it did not cost us 2200! Too bad we didn’t call that second company the first time around - we definitely would save lots of time and money. Please think twice before giving your business to Benson Ver Hage Electric company – they are far away from being professional and honest with their clients.

    Got these guys to install a Briggs and Stratton standby generator. Very professional outfit and extremely reasonable rates. If you are in the market for a standby generator, go for these guys.
