Five-Panel Replacement for a Multi-Unit Property in Oakland
Max Electric replaced five outdated electrical panels for a multi-unit residential property in Oakland, helping the owner satisfy insurance requirements, improve electrical safety, and keep tenant disruption to a minimum.



Fast panel replacement for a multi-unit property with insurance concerns
This Oakland project was driven by insurance requirements connected to outdated electrical equipment. The property owner needed the existing panels replaced quickly and correctly, while keeping the building safe and minimizing inconvenience for tenants.
Max Electric planned and completed the replacement of five electrical panels for the multi-unit property. The work included electrical panel replacement, safety improvements, and insurance compliance corrections.
