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…
Lucas Polanco was amazing! Will have him back shortly to work on other projects, thank you!
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!
Highly recommend!!! Our experience with Max Electric was great! They navigated and carried us through a complex rewiring of our building (knob & tube) where we had to move out for 6 weeks. They managed the project between each of the units and their owners (us being one), and with the City. Their pricing was very…
Friendly staff, great communication, fast service.
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
Lucas was super friendly and fixed my lighting issue quickly. Would definitely recommend / book again for any future electrical work needed.
Great experience. Lucas and Jonathan (plus Jessie) arrived dead on the agreed time and sorted out the problem with our light switches (now fully working). Excellent service. Highly recommended.
Max Electric is my forever go-to company for electrical services. Luis and Camillo replaced a bad switch for me. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend!
Excellent.
Electrician Lucas Polanco came and did such an amazing job, highly recommended. He was very friendly, explained every detail for our questions. My husband and I were very impressed his work and professionalism.
We've used MAX Electric twice and had good experiences both times. Easy scheduling (day after calling), highly professional, fast work. Job done.
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.
Lucas from Max Electric was great! He diagnosed the problem and replaced our faulty outlet in less than half an hour. He was also very friendly and explained everything.
I’ve used Max Electric multiple times and continue to trust their work. Lucas clearly knows his stuff and did an excellent job. He was friendly, efficient, and thorough. He installed four lights and also troubleshot two outlets that weren’t working, getting everything resolved smoothly. It’s always a great experience working with a team you can rely on.
Lucas was right on time! Explained to me clearly what needed to be done and replaced the two outlets in my kitchen quickly.
The electrician showed up exactly on time. He set right to work. He had the problem diagnosed and fixed in just a few minutes! All was working perfectly again. We were back to normal and very thankful.
Lucas was prompt. He was efficient and neat. He was a pleasure to work with
Rigo was very knowledgeable about unique, at times outdated, electrical setup of older SF buildings, and he resolved my issues quickly and professionally.
Terrific! Arrived on time, and fixed all of our many electrical issues in record time, and gave us an estimate for the one that was going to be a larger project. It was a bit pricier than I expected, but he fixed more than I expected, so I'm very happy.
Was a bit bait and switched with quoted troubleshooting cost being lower. Then turns out they overcharged on the repair/material cost. Additionally this was at a rental so they didn’t call for approval of the repair and just went ahead and did the work. Overall the issue was repaired but it would've been twice as…
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.
Lucas was great. Was on time (actually a little early) and completed the task fast and effective. I would use Max Electric again!
Very satisfied! The electrician arrived exactly as scheduled and replaced my dimmer immediately and perfectly. I was also very happy to get the estimate in advance, with no surprises.
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.
Rigo came to trouble shoot an outlet and a light fixture. He was prompt, polite and engaged. He identified and fixed the problems.
Lucas is very professional and did a great job,
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.
Rigoberto came earlier than first arranged. He diagnosed the problem of my hot tub circuit breaker quickly and fixed the issues to help prevent it from tripping in the future
I will never use another Electrician. Andrii is fantastic: super keen eye to detail, cares about visual aesthetics, and is super friendly!
Rigo came out to help me solve an electical issue with my EV charging system. He was very professional and incredibly helpful in both assessing the issue and resolving it. We won't hesitate to use Max Electric again in the future. Excellent work!
Excellent service and a timely appointment. Lucas was great. I will definitely be using Max Electric in the future.
Excellent work running a conduit some 150 ft to install an EV charger in our driveway. Max Electric is our go-to electrician.
Max and his team did a great job fixing an outside electrical outlet. They pointed out where the outlet water damage, and updated the casing around my wiring to prevent it from happening again. They were also very responsive to my emails. Would recommend them to anyone!
Max Electris professional, reliable, made excellent decisions on electrical work in my 100 year old San Francisco condo. I definitely count on these folks and will not hesitate recommending them to my friends.
Great service! Pleasant and professional. Quickly analyzed and repaired the problem. Highly recommend company!
One side of the main switch of our house was burned out the other day, and half of the house was out of power. I posted a Yelp job and Max was very fast to respond. In fact, he managed to arrive within 2hrs of my message, got everything fixed and inspired the main power wires to inform me some additional electricity…
Max was quick and professional. He identified the fault in the wiring and provided a simple solution that solved the problem. I'll have him back for some other projects.
