Max Electric

Replaced a light with a ceiling fan. Was able to do so quickly and helped replace the switch as well. 10/10

I hired Max Electric to install an outlet outdoors for my sprinkler system and flood lights to light up my yard at night.
They initially charged $650 to install the flood lights and $800 to install the outlet. After the first flood light was installed, the yard was still pretty dimly lit.
I had reached out, explained the issue, even provided pictures. They said it had to do with the brand of light, and the could replace it for another $250. I had them come out to change the brand of flood light, and, even after explaining the issue, our yard was still very dimly lit with the new light.
The electrician installed the light at night, so he could see it was dimly lit. He also left before giving me a chance to check the lights.
I reached out again after this, and Max Electric recommended installing a second light on the fence, and gave an estimate of $2000.
I asked for a detailed or itemized list about the cost this was their response:
""To install a light in a remote part of the backyard, the technician will need to run a long line of electrical wiring. He will most likely use one of the lights installed on your house, run a wire from it, then along the fence up to the place of future installation.""
They did not give any details about the cost of materials or how long the job would take.
I did not end up paying the $2000, and found another electrician on Taskrabbit. The electrician on Taskrabbit did the job for $500. He was able to give me a list with the cost of the items (~$150) and complete the job in 3.5 hours.
I normally don't make an effort to write reviews on Yelp, but felt like it could be useful to share about my experience, particularly given how much higher their cost was than another local electrician and that their communication throughout this time was not great.

The outlet connected to our garbage disposal was out of commission so we requested quotes from several places on Yelp. While most other places got back to us giving us a quote on their hourly rate and availability, max electric got back to us first by giving us a step by step troubleshooting guide to see if we can resolve the issue in our own first. And it worked! Save us time, trouble and cost. Really appreciate their help!

I highly recommend these electricians. They are professional, on time, and their work is very clean! The entire process from getting the estimate to the work and permitting was very smooth!

I asked for an estimate to install a GFCI outlet and they gave me a quote of $250-$500. I reiterated that I was asking for an estimate, not for work when they asked for my availability to meet. I confirmed the day/time and when I asked for them to confirm it was for an estimate, not the work, they said they wanted to come onsite to complete the work. I figured maybe it was just a miscommunication... However, when I reiterated to them I only wanted an estimate they then asked for pictures and what was near and behind the toilet. I didn't follow up as it seemed sketchy that they were unwilling to send someone onsite or at least do a video call to give me a more accurate estimate and some idea of what the work would entail similar to what other electricians have offered when collecting estimates.

I hired Roman to install an EV charger in the garage as well as some landscape lighting and transformer. He was very communicative, for example, asking good questions about where I wanted fixtures to be located and letting me know his ETA. And even when the job took several hours longer than he expected, Max Electric still charged the amount in the quote.
The charger and fixtures look and work great, and I plan to call Max Electric again the next time I have an electrical job!

Maksim and his team are amazing! I had a beast of a problem with multiple inspections with the city and the electric company that spanned months. The team managed the whole process and kept me informed of everything along the way. They had to do tons of work inside and outside of my house, leaving everything in better shape than when they came. Highly recommend.

Terrible experience trying to get an estimate from Max Electric and they can't seem to get their story straight. After scheduling a virtual consultation on their website for 10:30 am on a Thu waited for someone to reach out and no one did. When I contacted them on WhatsApp (per their website) they said they tried to reach me which doesn't make sense because there was no missed call or email response from them. And the person who manages the WhatsApp didn't respond to my call.

Also when I called their direct line to speak to someone the person who answered the phone seemed clueless and basically asked a bunch of random questions and finally admitted to not having my appointment in the system and promised to call back. But no response yet.

This is a very disappointing initial experience to deal with customers; if you are going to offer virtual consultations please know how to actually respond to them and be mindful that people organize their work schedules to be at home to go through these appointments.

Found using yelp. Fast response, great service.

Had a circuit breaker that kept repeatedly tripping. Roman was able to come out less than 24 hours after contacting them, and fixed the issue within 30 minutes. Explained to me what was happening and answered all my questions. Even offered to come back free of charge if the problem returned.

Will definitely be using Max Electric for all my electrician needs in the future.

Max electric was quick to respond to the Yelp request and John the manager was able to give me an initial quote based on the photograph I sent him. He also texted me back saying that his technician felt that there was probably more to it than what was seen.

When Andrei came on time, he quickly got to work and apologized, even saying it might take half an hour. I was thrilled that it was gonna take so little time. He showed me how badly warned the outlets were and that they needed to be replaced. He brought new products to replace them with and connected the two outlets together so that one GFCI was needed. He also included an exterior outlet cover.

He was very thorough and careful. He tested all the circuit breakers to make sure he had the right one. When finished he again tested everything and put everything back in order.

I didn't think it would cost quite this much but for the job that was done I think it went very well.

Andrei was very pleasant to work with. I would consider having Max electric come again if I have any more electric problems.
