Aluminum wiring repair in Oceanport

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.

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 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

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

I needed a charger installed before my car arrived. They checked the panel, ran the circuit through the garage and set up the app with me. Neat conduit work and no surprises on the bill.
