Professional Aluminum Wiring Replacement Services
If your home was built between the 1960s and 1979, there's a high chance it contains aluminum wiring. While aluminum itself isn't dangerous, the connections at outlets, switches, and fixtures can loosen over time due to expansion and contraction. This can cause overheating, sparks, and potential fire hazards.
At SGF Electric, our licensed electricians can replace outdated aluminum wiring with safer copper wiring, ensuring your home meets modern safety standards.
Why Replace Aluminum Wiring?
- Prevent Electrical Fires: Loose connections can overheat and cause sparks, increasing fire risks.
- Improve Electrical Efficiency: Copper wiring provides better conductivity and stability.
- Ensure Home Insurance Compliance: Many insurers require homes to have copper wiring for safety.
- Increase Property Value: Homes with copper wiring are more attractive to buyers and pass inspections more easily.
Aluminum Wiring Replacement Solutions
- Full Copper Rewiring: The safest and most permanent solution, completely replacing aluminum wiring with copper wiring for long-term safety.
- Pig Tailing: If a full replacement isn't feasible, we use pig tailing, where aluminum wiring is safely connected to copper wiring at each connection point using specialized connectors.
Is It Safe to Keep Aluminum Wiring?
Aluminum wiring was widely used due to its affordability and conductivity, but over time, loose connections and oxidation make it a potential fire hazard. If your home has aluminum wiring, it should be inspected by a professional electrician to determine whether replacement or safety upgrades are needed.
How Much Does Aluminum Wiring Replacement Cost?
The cost of replacing aluminum wiring varies based on:
- The number of outlets, switches, and fixtures needing replacement
