Featured Case Study

Multifamily electrical modernization and 400A service upgrade

Max Electric completed a full electrical modernization of a five-unit San Francisco multifamily building, upgrading the service from 60A to 400A with six meters, replacing knob-and-tube wiring, building a new electrical room, supporting EV charging, and preparing the property for all-electric use.

The work was completed in phases to reduce tenant displacement and finished in approximately six months, significantly faster than the typical timeline for a project of this scale.
