Aluminum wiring repair in Palisades Park
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 Palisades Park 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.

Older Bergen County buildings hide a lot behind the plaster. Around Palisades Park we regularly open a box and find ungrounded two-wire cable, a fuse panel still feeding part of the house, or circuits added by three different owners. None of that is unusual in North Jersey. The job is to trace it properly, fix what is unsafe first, and leave you with a panel schedule that finally matches the house.

Aluminum wiring replacement in Palisades Park: 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.
Do you cover all of Palisades Park?
Yes. We work throughout Palisades Park and Bergen County, including ZIP code 07650.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Palisades Park?
New circuits, panel changes and service work generally need a permit from the local construction office. Simple like-for-like replacements usually do not. We tell you when your job needs one.
