Max Electric crew was very professional and did an excellent job. Lucas and his team ( Camilo, Pedro and Noah) were great and the EV charger installation including the wiring/ conduit was very thorough and clean. Lucas also handled the city inspection and got that done the very next day. Thank you!

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.
