Communicating with Max Electric was swift and smooth. Initial intake questions were helpful and clarifying. I was given a good sense of what information they needed and that helped me know what they would be able to do for me. Jorge was very friendly and professional and super helpful. He was meticulously…
We had two new outlets installed. Excellent high-quality work and great vakue. And our technician — Jorge — was absolutely terrific. Very efficient, knowledgeable, friendly, explained everything, perfect work, and perfect cleanup — and just an overall great person / personality. We’ll work with Jorge and Max…
Lucas was very prompt at arriving and efficient at figuring out the problem and fixing it. We are planning on having him out again in the fall for another project. Edit. 8/18/2025 We just had Lucas and his partner out to take care of upgrades in 4 apartments we manage. Work was excellent. Edit-2. 10/20/2025.…
Lucas has been coming here for a long time and doing a very professional and productive job over the years!
Luis was great! Incredibly friendly, very adaptable and was able to complete all the expected tasks and more. He was also very nice to my pets and courteous as he moved through the house.
Very professional estimator and installation. I would use this service again.
Good price, very professional, made the new outlets I needed and recommended me a drywall guy as well.
Lucas did a great job. He fixed everything and was very clear about telling what was wrong and advising us about overloading byh using multiple appliance on the same circuit. He worked fast and was very friendly and courteous
Hanzel came today and helped install a new outlet and electrical wiring for our new gate intercom. He was on-time, super friendly and helpful, and efficient. He also was able to coordinate with another contractor who’s installing the gate intercom itself. He was a pleasure to work with and we’d 100% recommend using…
Max Electric was fantastic to work with for our knob and tube replacement and panel upgrade. They are very communicative and genuinely trying to find the best solutions for their customers. Thank you Sean, Max and Team!
Great work! Showed up on time and did the job well under the estimated time.
Max Electric provided great service for our office. The installer arrived on time and worked with impressive attention to detail. We needed electrical wiring and outlet installation running from the panel to a new location for a dryer, and it was done right and fully up to code. What stood out most was the…
Jessie went "above" (the ceiling and basement) and beyond to fix our kitchen cabinet lights and replace our transformer. Great customer service!
Max Electric did an excellent job on a major residential project for us. This involved replacing knob and tube wiring, relocating switches and outlets, adding new outlets and remote switches, adding motion detector switches and fixtures, adding new indoor and outdoor light fixtures, adding more circuits and a new…
Have used their services 3 times and they have always been prompt and professional.
I’m a general contractor and we’ve been working with Max Electric for a while. They handle everything for us — small repairs, troubleshooting, full house rewiring, panel upgrades, EV charger installs, lighting, etc. Guys show up on time, do clean and solid work, and stay on schedule. Easy to communicate with, no…
The communication and appointment scheduling were excellent! The electrician came exactly on time and did the job. We did need a second visit but that was easy to arrange and the same electrician came back to complete everything.
I was on a mission to find the best Electricians to work on my San Bruno house Knob & Tube Rewire and 100 to 200amp service upgrade. I had 4 companies walk the job and give their thoughts. I ended up choosing Max Electric because: 1. They listened carefully and were really focused on what I was trying to get done.…
Max Electric is very professional. Our Project manager Raushan is professional, on top of the schedule, and very open in conversation on status and things to consider. The team he manages is very capable. If you are not sure, have a conversation with Max, who can walkthrough the entire process and answer most questions. Highly recommend Max Electric.
My electrician was personable and got the job done. I took him slightly less than 15 minutes.
After a weather "event" that caused a PG&E neutral line to blow apart, our house lost the furnace, garage door motors, various surge-protect plug bars and some light circuits. Jesse Simpson, ace Max electrician, quickly diagnosed the root causes of the repairable problems, and replaced the damaged circuit…
Professional and cordial.
I found Max Electric online so I know positive reviews have an impact. I was renovating a home to put on the market, that turned put to be an eight-month project due to my decision to do a full-on renovation maybe two months in. Max’s job was to upgrade the home electrical systems to current compliance from 1950’s…
Lucas was on time for the repairs. He was very professional and fixed all our electrical issues in a clean, knowledgeable and expert manner. He answered all our questions about the work. He is a great representative for the Max Electric company. None better! Job well done.
Max Electric helped me meet new insurance standards and upgrade my 5-unit apartment building by: 1. replacing all knob & tube wire, 2. replacing Federal-Pacific breakers with 6 new panels, 3. wiring independent laundry rooms for each unit with separate electric water heaters, 4. raising incoming power from 100 to…
quick to respond and good work performed.
Lucas was knowledgeable, professional and kind. What I thought would be a simple job, a few new outlets and a dimmer switch, turned out to be much, much more. It is an old house so I guess I should not have been surprised. Despite this, he completed the work in a timely manner and made sure to leave everything clean. I would absolutely recommend.
Super friendly and helpful. Very knowledgeable and courteous.
Excellent work running a conduit some 150 ft to install an EV charger in our driveway. Max Electric is our go-to electrician.
Max responded quickly, and flexible on schedule. They were punctual, efficient, and courteous. They even had spare materials required even though there were some surprises on our job. It was a pleasure to work with them, and I highly recommend Max.
Max was really patient with the issues we had getting him into our condo's main breaker room on a weekend. He diagnosed the issue quickly and fixed it just as fast. We plan to call Max Electric for follow-up work that needs to be done.
Max and his team fitted our tricky and urgent job into his busy schedule at short notice by working through the evening. They were extremely professional and Max explained the task, challenges and his recommended approach to solve it clearly and thoroughly. It gave us a lot of confidence in his abilities. And the…
Max Electric were great. They were professional, fast and did good work.
Maksim helped us get our kitchen ready for an induction stove. He showed up on time, did the work quick and clean. Also helped us with a dimmer switch install. We enjoyed working with him and also was very easy to ask questions and problem solve for other future projects. We look forward to working with Max again!
