A recent customer called Russell Electric at 1pm and said he was there at 3pm to fix both problems. On a Friday emergency, a recent customer said they showed up around 11am, gave an estimated cost, started the repair around 1:30pm and had it done by 5:30pm. The company describes itself on its website as serving Central Maine and surrounding areas. Max Henry Russell holds Maine electrician license MS60023395, active on the state registry. A recent customer said an outdated breaker panel was upgraded, a stand-by generator installed and recessed lights put in three rooms. A recent customer said Max gave an estimate over the phone, installed an electric car charger on the next business day and did the panel upgrade it needed the same day. A recent customer said Max disconnected, moved and updated their electric panel before part of their 1880s house was demolished. A recent customer said Max removed several wall sconces, added 11 ceiling lights in a basement remodel and replaced 11 receptacles, and that it was the third or fourth time they had hired him. A 2026 customer said three rooms were rewired for a remodel and that Max found and fixed two dangerous things done by the previous owner. A 2026 customer said Max tracked a circuit problem down to a mouse nest by process of elimination. A 2025 customer said Max ran a 240v line to the kitchen, fixed ground issues on the panel and installed a whole-house surge protector. In 2024, a customer said Max came out on a Sunday to repair the pole on the house after a fallen tree took out their power lines. A recent customer said a small garage job was estimated and finished the same day they called, and that it cost more than they expected. A 2025 customer said an outlet was missed during a kitchen rewire and was fixed on a return visit.
Max communicated quickly, squeezed is into a tight schedule, showed up when he said he would and did excellent work. We will certainly recommend him.
I'd been trying to get any local electrician to do a small electrical job in my garage. Of the companies I called, Russell Electric answered the phone. They gave me an estimate and completed the job on the same day that I called. It cost more than I expected, but I was willing to pay it to get that job done. I've never had any electrical work done before, so it might've been a fair price. The electrician was polite and completed exactly what I needed.
Russell electric responded very quickly to an emergency repair. I called on a Friday morning, they showed up around 11am, gave me the estimated cost. They started the repair around 1:30pm and every was done by 5:30pm! Excellent work!!
Highly recommend! Communication was excellent and they were able to diagnose and fix the problem while also tending to a few other things that were great to update. Will definitely have them back for future electric needs!
Russell Electric for the win! Showed up when he said he would, and even better, he was able to complete the job sooner than anticipated. Clean work, no mess left behind, and super personable.
