Max Electric just finished their second job in our condo. Each job was done very professionally: on time and for the quoted reasonable price. We were pleased with their service and the politeness of their electricians. We gave their name to the company that manages our condominium association, which was having trouble finding good electricians for the condo owners.

Second time using Max Electric for a EV install (Tesla universal connector). Got a scheduled install date about two weeks after contacting Max Electric. Communications were quick and professional. Day of install had two folks come out, and they came on time and finished right on time as well (9:30am - 2pm). They were very detailed oriented and ask specifically where I'd want the charger installed - we ended up choosing the back wall as it was the most convenient, even though it wasn't the easiest place to put the charger.
Second time using Max Electric for some electrical help in the garage - highly recommend them!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Oct 21, 2023Previous reviewTL;DR - amazingly quick service + very professional emergency fix for unknown power problem for our garage.
Blew our garage circuit late Friday night (10pm), and we suspected a GFCI outlet was faulty (but really it was a outdoor circuit breaker box with a old lock from the previous owners that we didn't have the code for). Couldn't find anyone that late, but put in some 24x7 emergency electrician service requests on Yelp to see what we get in the morning. Annoyed we had to run extension cords from the house to get hot water (our water heater is in the garage) + open the garage itself.
First response was from Max Electric at 7:30am Sat morning, with a quote and immediate availability for a 9am visit. Communications were very timely, and the electrician who came out was very professional, courteous, and efficient. Diagnosed the issue and fixed it in less than 15 minutes; checked the outlets, asked about breaker locations, brought out a power tool to cut the old lock, and flipped the breaker. Checked all the other outlets in the garage to make sure there weren't any other issues.
Couldn't ask for anything more for last minute, emergency call. Would use again if I'm in a pinch. - Kyle M.Richmond, CA21733Apr 6, 2024
We recently hired Max Electric for electrical upgrades in our home and were thoroughly impressed. Maksim, who I believe is the owner, came to our home for a free estimate, making the planning process much smoother as we mapped out each project. He followed up the visit with a clear, detailed quote for the work.
The work was performed by two other team members: Raushan and another technician whose name I don't remember. Both were efficient, clean, and showed great respect for our home. They tarped each area to minimize dust and debris, communicated clearly about what they were doing, and left hardly any trace behind.
We had two power outlets installed in the garage, added recessed lighting throughout our home (most in brand new spots, others were conversions from what were previously can lights), and replaced our ceiling fans with modern ones. Everything was completed within the estimated time and cost--no surprises.
What really stood out to us was the pride they took in their work, which is evident in how incredible everything looked when finished. We are so happy with how our home looks post-upgrade that we are already planning future projects with them that we wouldn't have considered before this. Really, just incredible work.
Highly recommend Max Electric!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Michael W.San Francisco, CA319176137Mar 30, 2024
Shadiness. Quote for a standard heater replacement changed by quite a bit when speaking with different reps. Will the quote change again during/after the service? Not interested in finding out.
Max Electric? Maybe.
Max Integrity? Nope.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 3 - Diana P.Berkeley, CA12515Aug 13, 2024

Recently had Raushan from Max Electric over to install a Tesla Charger in our 90-year-old home, and he was fantastic. His friendly approach and clear explanations made the whole process a breeze.
This wasn't your standard job. Our breaker is on the opposite side of the house, so Raushan had to navigate through our tight crawl space. He tackled this head-on, showing real skill and professionalism.
What really impressed us was how he ensured everything worked perfectly in such an old house. He didn't just install the charger; he made sure it was safe and efficient, and took the time to walk me through the setup.
For anyone with an older home looking to upgrade with an EV charger, I can't recommend Raushan and MAX Electric enough.Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Alex K.Palo Alto, CA5017Jul 27, 2024
Answered some questions over text on the weekend and got me back up and running. Didn't even charge me! Nice to encounter some decent human beings. Highly recommend.

I had to get 2 electrical panels updated (replaced) in a duplex, for insurance requirements. No one likes being forced to do work, and after getting a quote for 10k which gave me major sticker shock, I pinged Max Electric who within a day, quoted me FAR less. I got an appointment that week, which was important as I was under a time crunch. I just wanted good quality work done and to satisfy my insurance.
Scheduling was super easy. They even work Saturday. The ability to communicate over text is appreciated.
Note: Day of the work I messed up and missed their calls to let them into the building. So I was over 1.5 hours late letting them in to get started. I felt terrible. They were not mad at me, (thanks guys), didn't give me any attitude (wouldn't have minded if they did), and got to work immediately. They then finished ahead of schedule.
Super nice and professional. We'll see if the panels stand the test of time. :)
But, anyways, so far, recommend. One thing off my list for my insurance.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Liz S.London, United Kingdom071Aug 12, 2024
Max Electric installed a level-2 EV charger for us today. We first got in touch last week for a price quote, they were quick to respond and schedule us in. The service today was a breeze; the electrician arrived on time, did a great job and tidied up the area before he left. So happy to finally have a way to charge our EV at home!

We've used Max Electric twice now and they've done excellent work each time. This time they ran a conduit almost 200ft to install a charger in our driveway. Fair price, very reliable, high quality. They're our go-to electricians.

We hired Max to replace all of the knob and tube wiring in the attic and add modern recessed lighting and ceiling fans to all of our bedrooms. He put together a very comprehensive plan and estimate and we were able to schedule the work while my wife and kids were out of town. He and his two colleagues worked long hours over three days to complete the job, running into and solving many unforeseen challenges. He even coordinated with independent contractors doing our siding to replace some wiring while the siding was off, and making sure that the new bathroom exhaust fan vent was secured correctly into the new siding. The end result is fantastic--it feels like a new house. It's so much brighter and more functional, not to mention safer with the old wiring replaced. And the powerful ceiling fans make a big difference on a hot day given we have no AC. Max and his colleagues were friendly, communicative and professional throughout. We'll absolutely use them again--there's always more electrical work to be done in hundred-year-old houses. :)
