I called Maxx Electrical Services after the kitchen lights under my counter failed. Because they were all old, they suggested replacing them all. After waiting approximately three weeks for parts, the lights were installed in one hour. Looks delightful and I'm extremely satisfied with exchange and impressive skill. Energetically suggest this organization!

On the day of the electrical visit, I received a courtesy call 30 minutes before arrival. Upon arrival the team showed up and was very friendly, respectful of my property, and took a few minutes to allow me to explain my issue before getting started. After viewing the problem areas the team was able to diagnose the problem and get started right away. The issue I was having was completely resolved during this visit.

Hired Maxx Electrical Services to help rewire some of my outlets in my home and install different light fixtures. Good, fast work. Hired them again later to replace some outdoor outlets, I had to reschedule on them last minute and they were very helpful and accommodating. Great work.

Electricians represented Maxx Electrical Services very well. They have been nicely spoken, no longer pushy, have been very educated and answered all our questions. The work was once carried out rapidly and the value referenced what they advised me earlier. I have no complaints. If any electrical work comes up in the future, I will contact them through you. Thanks

Initially was told they would arrive between 4-7 pm, however they weren’t able to come out until the next day. Technician was thorough and informative as to the progress of the job, however had to go twice to the store to find the correct replacement part, and then initially charged for the two trips to the store, plus time and materials. I’m satisfied with the service but you can probably find a cheaper alternative.

David accommodated me right away. assured me that he and his team could complete the job despite the potential safety issue. They not only showed up on time but also solved the issue and left immediately. Best of all, the cost of the service was well within reach. David will be my most memorable require any future electrical necessities.

I used Maxx Electrical Services to pre-wire all of the uplighting for my landscaping, prior to our back deck being poured. They also did some electrical work for my home audio system. Incredibly honest people and the job was done right the first time. I haven't had a single issue. I highly recommend them.

Gene was great! He was super communicative and showed up to the job a bit early. He replaced an outlet very quickly and was upfront about the process and costs. I highly recommend working with him

Working with Maxx Electrical Services was an excellent experience from beginning to end. Jake is very knowledgeable and took the time to give me an overview of the entire process. I would recommend this small company to anyone for their professionalism, fair pricing, knowledge, and attention to detail. Very well deserved 5 stars.

I just can’t say enough good things. Completely honest and trust worthy. Did a wonderful job. I even gave them access to my garage when I was out of town and all was done when I got home. So nice to have the charger at home!

Jake was a pleasure to work with as he worked through our electrical needs. He also identify where there was a potential fire hazard between the ceiling fan, remote and light switch that was earlier installed in one of our bedrooms. We have know Jake for some time and have always know his work to be his passion and that he looks out for his customers. Thank you again for all you do!!

The breaker on our water heater kept tripping, so after a plumber determined the heater itself was ok, we started looking for an electrician. I am so glad we found Maxx Electrical. My husband spoke with the owner first thing this morning, and it wasn't more than an hour later and Jake was at our house investigating the issue. Not only did he replace the breaker, but he also found a deficiency that we were not aware of when we bought the house. He was able to return later and now both issues have been repaired. He was professional, quick, and efficient. Hands down will definitely use for any future problems.

Everything about my experience was 5 stars. Jake was very responsive to all of my questions and I'm not the easiest person to deal with. Pricing was too good. The team that came out was the best group of contractors that I've ever had. All were professional, timely and friendly. Work was top quality. I had basically all my electric redone, outlets, switches, lights, fans, and added outlets as well. Highly recommend them and plan to use them for all my electrical work. Especially nowadays it's hard to find a contractor let alone a good one. These guys are the best!

Jeff arrived promptly, assessed the situation that needed repair and repaired all outlets and switches thoroughly. He also was very communicative about what he was doing and gave me different options based on my needs regarding the outlets. I have used their services c in the past, recommended Maxx Electrical Services , and will use them in the future.

Thanks guys! Five stars across the board!

Maxx Electrical Services is a nicely-run and professional company. After going through a number of electricians over the past several years, I was pleased to find these folks. They are very passionate, personable, answered all of our questions, and were very affordable. 5 stars for these guys, can't recommend Maxx Electrical Services enough!

They rewired our house replacing the old knob and tube and aluminum wiring; installed basement pot lights; added some three-way switches. The technician and his crew were great, and they were on time and on budget. He was easy to get a hold of, and was good at showing and explaining to us everything he and his guys were doing. The technician even threw in a few nice extra surprises!

We had Jimmy come out and perform some basic repairs as well as install a Ring doorbell system. We couldn't be happier because he was extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and efficient. For their electrical needs, we will continue to recommend Maxx Electrical Services to friends and family.

I called Maxx Electrical Services to come in and wire an unfinished basement. From the start they were nothing but professional and curious. The guys came in on the date I scheduled and were able to finish it all up in the time they told me it would take! Plus they cleaned up after them and it was like they were never there! Well except for the awesome wiring job they did! Would highly recommend them!

I did not have a great experience but based on other reviews, perhaps my experience was an outlier/exception. I called on a Monday morning to make an appointment for some troubleshooting and was give a 3 hour (11am-2pm) window on when I should expect the technician to arrive. I was told there would be a $99 service fee for the call no matter what work was needed.2pm came and went with no update. Around 3pm I got a call from the technician that said he was too far away and asked if he could come Wednesday. He then called back and said he could be to my place within an hour. About 90mins later he showed up. He proceeded to spend about 80mins troubleshooting and working and was able to resolve the issue without using any materials. I was then told by the technician after the work was done that in addition to the $99 service fee, there was a 3 hour minimum troubleshooting fee at $150/hr. He was trying to charge me $549 after the work was already done. This seemed shady. If there was automatically a $450 troubleshooting fee, that should have been communicated before work began.I objected and he got on the phone with his manager and they reduced the total bill to $399. He never explained what the issue was or what was done to resolve the issue.In the week that followed I made calls to the office every couple of days asking for a copy of the itemized invoice so that I could submit to my condo association for reimbursement (at the time of service and payment, I only received a payment confirmation email). After almost 2 weeks I finally got an email with an itemized receipt. There was no detail at all on what was done. Just two line items for “service” and “labor.” I still don’t know what the issue was or what was done to fix it.At the end of the day, repairs were made and the issue was resolved, but overall very put off by the experience. I can’t help but have the feeling it was a quick/simple fix and was overcharged.

They are as professional as they come. Always on time, and their work is spot on. Always available and i would recommend to all looking to have electrical done. Still have not setup all my kitchen appliances and ran a full test, but i am anxious to have all running. Will most likely be contacting Maxx Electrical Services for future enhancements.

My kitchen lights were burning out way too quickly, and I discovered a loose wire. We also lost power in the garage and had no idea why. We were told to look for a reset button first, but I couldn't find one. It turned out that the reset button was on the bottom of my electrical panel! Who'd have guessed? Also, one of our garage lights is quite low, so Joe suggested that we cover the bulb so it wouldn't be hit and break, which we had him do. Overall, we were very pleased with Maxx Electrical Services and will use them again.

Maxx Electrical Services was a dream come true. When I called, I was given a very reasonable quote. They were prompt, efficient, and tidy, as well as offering advice and suggestions for other tasks we needed completed around the office/house. I will definitely use them again, and I will gladly recommend them to my friends and family.

Jeff is the Electrician who was sent to replace a corroded outlet above my sump pump as well as to inspect the accompanying GFI. He was professional, very knowledgeable, clean, and exacting. I appreciated his willingness to complete the assigned task in such a professional and pleasant manner and at a fair price. Jeff is an asset to his employer; I will continue to use Maxx Electrical Services in the future.

Mike was so professional, personable, and efficient. He had my outdoor ceiling fan installed in about an hour from box to finish. Such reasonable pricing. He even gave us a veteran's discount! I fully recommend this company for any job! I will definitely be using them again and will ask for Mike specifically. Thank you!

They recently came out to troubleshoot an issue apparently relating to a thermostat they installed. They spent several hours diagnosing the complex problem, and did not charge me even though the issue was identified was with my a/c, an unrelated unit. They've proven to be a trustworthy, high quality electrical services provider, and I would recommend them to anyone needing electrical work big and small!

I have never written a review for a business in my life. Sadly, today i need to write a review. I called and asked for an electrician to come out to replace light switches and plates. it was a $99 service fee which is very standard in Chicago. They refused to give me a quote when they showed up. It took them 4 hours to replace the switches, which felt like a very long time. After the electricians 4 hours of work, he looked around for and decided that I owed him $890. 4 hours of work for $890. The average hourly rate for an electrician is $70-$90. I asked him how he came up with this number. He said he charges 35 per light switch replacement plus the $99 delivery fee and the plates. Maxx electric said they charge hourly. Who is lying? he negotiated his rate down to $690 by doing some quick math to help me out. I felt under duress so I signed card.I called to speak with a manager of Maxx electric. I spoke with Ryan. He proceeded to mock me for questioning their pricing tactic. He mocked me by saying are you a lawyer? did he have a gun to your head and forced you to sign it? If it should not be $890 why did you not do the work yourself? Well, Ryan, probably because I am not a certified electrician. I am sure the electrician wasn't certified either.The most unethical business I've ever seen ran. I want to pay a fair price. I have put a hold on my card. Maxx Electric, when you see this, call me and we will settle a fair price. $890 for 4 hours is not a fair price. It is criminal

Maxx Electrical Services (Gary) met with me in my home, listened to my needs, and gave me some good ideas. He gave me what I thought was a more than fair bid. Gary and his crew arrived when he said, completed the work in a timely manner, cleaned up the work area, and gave me a satisfaction walk-thru and was ready to go. That gave me plenty of time to get on with my day!!! 100% satisfied! Gary... I've have a couple more jobs do.

Rizzo Electric came to our house a couple weeks ago and was great. Really knew the business, provided a lot of education, and gave honest appraisal, which was actually to save us money by doing the simple work ourselves. Wow!

Maxx Electrical Services certainly deserves even more than 5-star ratings. The service technician (Donn) was honest, professional and knows his business. Anyone looking for an electrician with experience and integrity this is the guy for you. Donn arrived when he said he would and did the work so fast but in a professional manner. Highly recommend him and his company.

I called Maxx Electrical Services up on closing day of my home with issues that needed to be completed to get my certificate of occupancy from the township. Jessica in the office was fast and professional and got a technician out in less than two hours!! They mended the problem and I was able to get my C/O. Thank you so much for the amazing service!

I had another company that built out the location into the electrical. I wasn't impressed with them. I run across all electric services and they have done a great job. They were very well spoken and will answer all your questions. Not afraid to look at work outside of the scope of what they were contracted. They were amazing guys and I was very impressed with their services and will continue to use this company in the future.

Donn from Maxx Electrical Services did a great job, showed up on new years eve when our hot water tank stalled due to electrical issues.

We had a wire short out and start a small fire in our shop. Lucky there was no damage but we needed an electrician right away. Maxx Electrical Services answered the phone and say they could help. They arrived within a few hours and traced the problem and made it safe to turn the power back on to our shop. Great service and fast response.

READ! DO NOT USE! Scheduled appointment and nobody came. Called them and was told they didn’t have right ladder so rescheduled. Complained but supervisor never called back. Called 3 separate time to remind them to bring the right ladder. One week later, nobody came. Called them and was told they did not have the right ladder. Was told supervisor would call and nobody called. Took off 2 days work for this - ridiculous. Use only if you enjoy wasting time and not getting electrical work done.

Specialists are skilled electricians who discussed with us various aspects of the wiring of a basement remodel in a language that was easy to understand. They were efficient in their work and arrived in our home when they said they would arrive. Their character and professionalism were other qualities of workmanship we enjoyed.

I called twice to make two separate appointments and each time no one showed up or called. The first time I was told the no show was bc of weather but no one called to tell me that. The second time no explanation. I’m not going to keep calling to make appointments and wait around again, I’ll find another company.

This company does not deliver on promises. The people I've worked with are kind, but have not solved my electrical issues and have not followed through on services I've paid for.I initially chose to work with this company because they are close to me and were very responsive. However, I've had two technicians come out to work on my master bedroom light/ceiling fan with no long-term solution.The second technician came out and discovered that the first had glued the glass cover to the fan, meaning the glass would have to be broken in order to replace light bulbs. This technician told me that it would be best to replace the ceiling fan altogether, considering it had been giving me so many issues. I was told to make a deposit of $150 and that he could come back the next day to install the fan. When I contacted him again, there was no response.This was in October of 2022, and life events had gotten in the way of me tracking them down and trying to get this service completed.Since last week, my partner and I have been calling in attempt to get a technician out to install the new ceiling fan with the deposit we made in October. I did not want to use Maxx Electrical Services to do install this fan based on the inadequate work they'd done in my home previously, but I also did not want to lose $150 altogether. They've told us they'd call us back, and never did.Today, we attempted to simply receive a refund for this service they did not provide, were transferred to a finance department for several minutes on hold to be told we should receive a call back again.I'm asking for anyone from the company reading this to please do the right thing, call back, and refund the money for this service you did not provide.

We were very pleased with Maxx Electrical and would definitely recommend them. The scheduling was easy and fast. A real person answered the phone and made the appointment. Jake, the electrician, was prompt, efficient, and polite. After the quote, he actually reduced the price because one of the problems was easy (tripped the circuit breaker.) Definitely a positive experience from beginning to end.
