AER Electric came by to install the exterior light for our home that I purchased at Lowe's. Erick did an outstanding job, very professional and efficient. I think I've found an electrician to bring back for other work. I'm going to call him back to tend to a couple other electrical items at our home. Very pleased with this service.

I had AER replace an existing ceiling fan and had a great experience. Erick was very communicative, prompt, and efficient throughout the process. I’m very happy with the service and plan to use AER for additional work in the future. I’ll also be recommending them to my neighbors.

Erick showed up on time and did an excellent job installing our ceiling fan. When he finished the area was clean. We will definitely use your company again with our future electrical needs.
