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 A recent customer said an outdated breaker panel was upgraded, a stand-by generator installed and recessed lights put in three rooms.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. **Strengths:** - Same-day response — a recent customer called at 1pm and had help by 3pm - EV charger install — a recent customer got a same-day panel upgrade with it - Old-house panel work — a recent customer said Max handled their 1880s house - A mouse-nest find — a 2026 customer said Max traced a circuit fault to it **Concerns:** - Price on small jobs — a recent customer said a garage job cost more than expected - A missed outlet — a 2025 customer said it was fixed on a return visit ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Max Henry Russell holds Maine electrician license MS60023395, active on the state registry _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://www.pfr.maine.gov/ALMSOnline/ALMSQuery/SearchIndividual.aspx) — “ME electrician license MS60023395 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: MAX HENRY RUSSELL” - A recent customer called at 1pm and had both problems fixed by a 3pm visit _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2prMlEybEhkRVUxT1dscVVHcHZjMUJ0WTFFMlEyYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xf7a54031b7e8403f!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOjk2Q2lHdEU1OWlqUGpvc1BtY1E2Q2c%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Have had a hard time finding a local electrician to help with a couple small projects.
