Aluminum wiring replacement in New Brunswick

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 New Brunswick for aluminum wiring remediation, aluminum to copper pigtailing and aluminum wiring repair. If you are not sure which one you need, describe the problem and we will tell you.

Aluminum wiring replacement in New Brunswick: 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.

What customers say

Our insurer wanted the knob and tube gone. They traced what was still live, replaced it with hardly any wall damage and wrote the letter the insurance company asked for.

Rachel G., Montclair

Our house had aluminum wiring and the outlets were getting warm. They went through every box in the house and explained both options and the price for each. Very straight with us.

Tom R., Cherry Hill

An outlet in the kitchen was sparking. The electrician found a loose connection that fed three other outlets and redid all of them. Showed me the burnt one so I could see for myself.
