Troubleshooting first
Treat the Safety Risk Before the Repair Schedule
Urgent electrical symptoms are not all the same. A single failed receptacle, repeated breaker trip, hot panel, burning odor, and active arc require different isolation and response decisions.
AGE Electric begins by confirming the location, symptoms, affected areas, immediate hazards, and current availability. The electrician then diagnoses the source instead of treating the most visible symptom as the cause.

Fire, smoke, active arcing, damaged utility equipment, or unsafe conditions require emergency services and a clear area.

“Esteban and his team installed wafer lights in 3 of our bedrooms. The crew was professional, friendly, and worked quickly & efficiently. They did a great job at cleaning after the job was finished. Priced competitively and well under the few quotes we gathered. The finished install exceeds our expectations, and we will happily use AGE again!”

“I had AGE Electric replace three light fixtures and install one recessed light in the hallway at my mom’s condo, and Esteban and his crew did an amazing job. Esteban is a professional who returned my calls and replied to texts promptly, and he took the time to answer all of my questions. They also did a great job cleaning up which was an added bonus - not even a single speck of drywall dust was left behind. AGE Electric’s prices are reasonable, and they’re just all-around awesome. If you’re looking for a good, reliable electrician, AGE Electric & Wiring LLC is it!”

“Esteban and his crew were professional, friendly, and worked quickly & efficiently. We were installing a new induction stovetop and needed quality electrical work done on a tight timeline. When Esteban provided the initial estimate, he carefully assessed the work needing to be done and clearly documented what needed to be done at a reasonable price. When his team encountered an unexpected change in the layout of the joists in our ceiling, they quickly devised an alternative solution and got the job done right. They clearly documented the wiring changes in both the fuse box and on the new outlets for the installation team to follow. I couldn't be happier with the results! I strongly recommend AGE Electical Wiring for your next home improvement project. Thanks!”

“Esteban and his crew were fantastic. They installed overhead lighting in 3 of our bedrooms, and wafer lights in our living room kitchen and hallway. They were extremely efficient and professional and explained everything in a manner that a homeowner could understand. Excellent pricing as well. Estaban came out tafterwards to resolve an issue I was having with a ceiling fan. It had nothing to do with their installation, just a faulty controller that needed replacement. No charge, that's excellent customer service!
Absolutely one of the best experiences with an electrical company. 5+ Stars.”

They were great and did the work that exceeded our expectations. I was also able to get a response the same day. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again for any electrical needs. We also felt they were reasonably priced for the work they did.”
