Aluminum wiring remediation in Egg Harbor City
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.

Aluminum wiring replacement in Egg Harbor City: common questions
Is aluminum wiring dangerous?
The risk is at the connections, which can loosen and overheat over time. Properly repaired, the system can stay in service.
Do I need to rewire the whole house?
Not always. Approved connector repairs at every connection are a recognized permanent fix.
Is the thick aluminum cable to my range or panel a problem?
No. Larger aluminum feeders are standard and still used today. The concern is the small branch circuits.
