Lucas has been coming here for a long time and doing a very professional and productive job over the years!
So delighted to have found the team at Max Electric! Alas, I had planned to do this identical work with another contractor who totally failed to deliver, but from first meeting, everyone at Max's was prompt, professional and delivered expertise on all levels. I was adding a smart subpanel and a new EcoFlow…
The crew was friendly and efficient.
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…
I needed to upgrade the electrical panel and increase home amp service from 100 amp to 200 amps. In May 2026, I contacted Max Electric who was very responsive, came quickly to the house, and provided me with a detailed itemized quote. This company was neither the least expensive nor most expensive. Their quote…
We got a complete upgrade from knob and tube wiring, along with many additional outlets, overhead lighting, new sub panel, etc. It was a big job, with permits and inspections needed at many stages. Max Electric took care of everything, promptly and professionally, with friendly crews who cleaned up everything. We…
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!
Max Electric did an amazing job on our home! We needed knob and tube rewiring, permitting (we are in Alameda, CA), and several light installations done on a tight timeline. They stuck to our aggressive schedule without sacrificing quality and were incredibly communicative the whole way through. A huge shoutout to…
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…
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…
Highly recommended. We had an urgent issue with a failed hot leg past the main breaker, and Lucas Polanco was on-site by 8 am to handle the repair. Not only did he fix the immediate problem, but he also performed necessary upgrades to our infrastructure. Lucas is an excellent communicator. He presented multiple…
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 arrived on time & worked without interruptions! They answered my questions as well.
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.
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…
Max and his team oversaw the enormous rewiring of our home! Professionally, quickly, and in sync with other contractors, with excellent attention to detail. Thank you.
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…
Our insurance requested we replace outdated electrical panels in the basement and Max Electric clearly has done many replacement jobs and is familiar with this request (they even handed us a printed brochure outlining EXACTLY what we needed as a service they cover). Work seemed professional, everyone we interfaced…
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.
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!
Would absolutely hire again! I needed someone to come same-day because our electrician couldn’t make it and we were getting AC installed the next day. They were in contact, arrived, and accomplished the job within hours. The project ended up being much simpler and better than what our other electrician originally…
Max installed a transfer switch and was eager to answer all my questions. Cared about the little things and made sure it was done just right, no short-cuts. Real professional, knows what he is doing and is very punctual
