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…
Luca came and fixed an electrical problem. He was helpful, efficient and effective.
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…
Fantastic people to work with all around! They understood the job, very very communicative, on time, friendly, and cleaned up any debris after. Highly recommend them
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…
Hanzel did a great job. On time. Very professional. Very happy with their work.
Timely and friendly service, electrician was knowledgeable and efficient.
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
They were very communicative and responsive. The electrician showed up on time and finished the job in a quick and professional way.
Hanzel from Max Electric was great. He arrived on time and installed the light fixture quickly. He explained everything and answered all of my questions. He asked me about the different settings for the fixture so he could set them the way I wanted.
TLDR: Electrician Pedro blew out a fuse box while installing a light fixture. This caused the electricity in a closet, tv room and bedroom to go out. Instead of accepting responsibility and repairing the fuse box, Pedro and a manager both lied and said that the power was already not working in the 3 rooms before the…
About $325 per light fixture to install. They did a great job.
Max Electric was overall great to work with. Quick response to my job request to replace and overhead light over Yelp. They showed up on time, and Hanzel was very professional, conscientious, helpful, and got the job done efficiently. I recommend wholeheartedly and will use them again!
Lucas did a great job. He installed 2 light fixtures, 3 bathroom fans, and fixed a broken floodlight. He was friendly and explained everything. Scheduling was quick and easy as well.
Lucas Polanco is the man!!!! Couldn’t be happier with the prompt customer service provided by the team at Max Electric! From my initial Yelp inquiry, to Lucas arriving, the entire process was easy and efficient. Lucas did a great job installing a motion sensor light, and the customer service team at Max Electric…
quick friendly good work
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…
The max team did some exterior rewiring in our 1920s condo building. They were incredibly professional, efficient and commanded a depth of expertise in their craft. While they weren’t the most cost effective compared with other reputable electricians, I’d work with them again.
Lukas was very efficient and was able to effectively troubleshoot some faulty lights I had. Great 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…
Lucas was great and also a pleasure to work with. He was very efficient and professional Would highly recommend to friends and family
Fantastic work! Installation of two new ceiling pendants around an existing gas pipe and crown molding in an old Victorian house initially looked impossible, but Luis figured out a work-around. (A similar pendant installation in another room had taken months, not hours, to complete).
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…
Great service & customer support
Lucas was wonderful! Friendly, efficient, and showed attention to detail. Our new light looks excellent.
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.
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.…
The electrician was fantastic. He fixed all of the issues and was very easy to work with.
Great communication, easy scheduling and payment, and good work. All around seamless experience.
Fantastic experience, Jesse was phenomenal to work with! Set up our new light quickly and suggested an avenue for us to save money in the future, the entire experience was professional and thorough!
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…
Installed two lights, very helpful!
The electrician,Lucas Polanko was on time, was very professional and friendly, and explained clearly what had to be done.
Had another closet with a light issue. This one was faulty fluorescent light fixture. Rigo quickly diagnosed the problem, went on his own to buy a new LED light fixture (plus LED), and got it installed quickly. Works beautifully. Max Electric has consistently had excellent, knowledgeable electricians provide service for me.
Rico and Mariano came to install two pendant lights in my ceiling. We talked through two options and settled on a ceiling cover with existing light box in place instead of more holes in the ceiling and beams and someone patching the ceiling. They were on time, efficient, helped get them level and adjusted to the…
I worked with Max Electric to replace a bathroom exhaust fan and a broken light fixture. Lucas, the electrician, was polite and great at his craft. Completed the work quickly and left the work area clean. The results were exactly what we were hoping for. Max Electric was also great at communication throughout the…
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.
Great service :) :) :)
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…
