How do I choose the right service if I do not know the cause?
Choose Electrical Repair Services when the symptom is clear but the cause is not. For burning odors, arcing, hot equipment, smoke, or a condition that appears immediately dangerous, keep people away from the area and use the emergency-service option. You can also send photos and a short description through the form below.
Does Max Electric handle permits and inspections?
Permit and inspection requirements depend on the scope and jurisdiction. For work that requires them, the project plan should identify the permit path, inspection stages, utility coordination, and any information needed from the owner or property manager before work begins.
Can several upgrades be planned as one electrical project?
Yes. Panel work, EV charging, an ADU, electric appliances, HVAC, solar, and backup power often affect the same load calculation and distribution plan. Reviewing them together can reduce rework and produce a service decision that reflects the property’s actual future loads.
Do you work in older San Francisco homes and multifamily buildings?
Yes. The services above include older wiring, knob-and-tube inspection and replacement, panel work, whole-house rewiring, multifamily systems, remodels, and managed-property repairs. Access, occupants, wall construction, existing permits, and shutdown coordination are reviewed as part of the scope.
What information should I send with a service request?
Include the property address, the symptom or planned equipment, when the issue began, what still works, panel and equipment photos when safe to take, access restrictions, and any deadline tied to a remodel, tenant, insurer, utility, or inspection.
Tell us what the property needs
You do not need to diagnose the electrical problem before contacting us. Describe the symptom, project, or equipment you are planning, and include clear photos when they can be taken safely.
