About
Max Electric is a licensed, insured electrical contractor serving San Francisco and the broader Bay Area, with 1,500+ completed client engagements and 250+ documented projects spanning panel upgrades, EV charging infrastructure, and wiring work. For property managers and facility managers overseeing office buildings, retail storefronts, multifamily properties, and mixed-use developments in Oakland and San Francisco, Max Electric delivers code-compliant electrical services backed by proper load calculations, grounding verification, and accurate panel labeling. The team holds a California electrical contractor license and operates multiple crews across the Bay Area, providing the scheduling flexibility that commercial properties demand. On the power distribution side, Max Electric handles panelboard replacements and upgrades — including legacy Federal Pacific and Zinsco panel remediation — as well as sub-panel installation, service capacity increases, and circuit breaker or fuse box repair. These are critical compliance and risk-mitigation priorities for building owners managing older Bay Area commercial stock. EV charging (EVSE) installation is a growing focus, with the team deploying Level 2 charging solutions including NEMA 14-50 circuits and Tesla-compatible hardware — directly relevant to multifamily buildings and commercial properties facing California's expanding EV-ready code requirements. Backup energy systems, including Generac generator installation, are also offered, supporting business continuity planning for retail and office tenants. Lighting upgrades and recessed lighting retrofits round out the core commercial scope. Max Electric offers 24/7 emergency electrical services, reducing downtime exposure for facility managers dealing with after-hours faults. Permit support is available when the project scope requires it. With a 5.0 Google rating across 203 reviews and a 4.9 Yelp rating across 163 reviews, the contractor's track record reflects consistent workmanship quality across the San Francisco Bay Area commercial and multifamily market.
