Make Older Aluminum Wiring Safe Again
If your home was built in the late 1960s or 1970s, it may have aluminum branch wiring. Over time, aluminum connections can loosen and overheat at outlets, switches, and panels, one of the leading wiring-related fire risks in older homes, and a common reason insurers ask for repairs.
We inspect your connections, identify the trouble spots, and remediate them using approved methods, typically AlumiConn connectors or copper pigtailing at every device, so your wiring is safe, code-compliant, and acceptable to your insurer.
