Troubleshooting first
The Device Is Only One Part of the Circuit
A failed outlet or switch may be the visible symptom of a loose connection, tripped upstream GFCI, damaged wire, overloaded use, or circuit fault. AGE Electric tests the device and the conditions feeding it before replacement.
For new device locations, the estimate considers the intended load, required GFCI or AFCI protection, box placement, circuit capacity, access, and how the finished wall or cabinet will be used.

Outlet, Switch & GFCI Installation and Repair FAQs
Outlets, Switches & GFCIs Questions, Answered
These answers cover common questions about outlet, switch & gfci installation and repair. The property and equipment determine the final scope.
All electrical FAQsWhy will my GFCI outlet not reset?
It may have no incoming power, an active fault, incorrect line/load connections, a downstream problem, moisture exposure, or a failed device. Testing identifies which condition applies.
Can a two-prong outlet be replaced with a three-prong outlet?
Not by simply changing the face. Grounding and permitted GFCI-based options must be evaluated and labeled correctly for the existing wiring.
Can you add an outlet without opening the entire wall?
Often. The panel or source circuit, framing, basement or attic access, insulation, and finished surfaces determine the route and any access openings.
