ELECTRICAL SERVICE

Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting in Austin, TX

Flickering lights, dead outlets, a breaker that will not stay on: electrical problems are easy to ignore until they are not. The tricky part is that the symptom is rarely the cause. AC Electric’s licensed electricians do not just treat the obvious. We find the root of the problem and fix it right. Family-owned in Austin since 1984, we bring a Master Electrician’s diagnostic skill to homes across Central Texas, so a small issue gets solved before it becomes an expensive, or dangerous, one. And when a problem cannot wait, we offer emergency electrical service for urgent issues like burning smells, sparking outlets, or a sudden loss of power.

ELECTRICAL REPAIR SERVICES

Common electrical problems we repair

  • Breakers that trip repeatedly, often a sign of an overloaded circuit, a short, or a failing breaker.
  • Flickering or dimming lights, from loose connections to an overloaded or failing panel.
  • Dead or warm outlets, including outlets that stopped working after a pop (frequently a tripped GFCI or a burned connection).
  • Outlets or switches that spark, buzz, or feel hot.
  • Two-prong and GFCI issues in kitchens, baths, garages, and outdoors.
  • Burning smells, scorched outlets, or panel problems, which deserve prompt attention.
  • Wiring problems after a remodel, a storm, or rodent damage.

HOW IT WORKS

How our troubleshooting works

Electrical troubleshooting is detective work. We start by listening to what you have noticed, such as when it happens, what is on the circuit, and what changed, then we test methodically to isolate the cause rather than guessing. Once we have found it, we explain what is going on in plain English, give you a clear estimate, and make the repair. The result is a real fix, not a temporary patch that fails again next month.

EXAMPLE

outlet testing

Half the outlets in a room going dead is a classic case. It is often a single failed connection or a tripped GFCI upstream that is cutting power to everything after it. Knowing where to look is what separates an experienced electrician from a guess-and-replace approach.

WHAT WE DO

What we repair, and what we do not

The goal is a permanent, safe connection between the existing aluminum wire and your devices. If your issue is the circuit, outlet, or wiring feeding an appliance, that is squarely in our wheelhouse. If the appliance itself has failed internally, you will want an appliance technician. Depending on what your home needs, repair options include:

WHAT WE REPAIR

outlets, switches, breakers, panels, lighting, wiring, GFCIs, and more.

WHAT WE DON'T REPAIR

appliances of any size

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

A breaker trips to protect you, usually from an overloaded circuit, a short circuit, or a ground fault, though sometimes the breaker itself has worn out. We find which one it is rather than just resetting it, because a breaker that trips repeatedly is telling you something.

Flickering can be as minor as a loose bulb or as serious as a loose connection in the panel or a failing circuit. If multiple lights flicker, or it happens when large appliances start, it is worth having checked.

Often it is a tripped GFCI somewhere on the same circuit, a worn outlet, or a failed connection. We will trace the circuit and repair the real cause so it does not keep happening.

No. We do not service appliances of any size. But we do repair the outlets, circuits, and wiring that power them, which is frequently where the real problem is.

Treat it seriously. Stop using the outlet, switch off the breaker if you safely can, and call us promptly, since we offer emergency service for exactly these situations. A burning smell or scorched outlet points to overheating that needs professional attention right away.
