Aluminum wiring repair in Brigantine
There are two accepted fixes. One is to rewire with copper. The other is to treat every connection in the house with a connector made for joining aluminum to copper, then fit new devices on short copper leads. We check each outlet, switch, fixture and junction box, because one missed connection defeats the purpose.
We also get calls from Brigantine for aluminum to copper pigtailing, aluminum wiring replacement and aluminum wiring remediation. If you are not sure which one you need, describe the problem and we will tell you.
