Aluminum Wiring Replacement in South Orange, NJ

Aluminum wiring replacement in South Orange

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

What is included

• Identification of aluminum branch circuits
• Full copper rewiring where that is the better choice
• Listed aluminum-to-copper connectors at every device
• New receptacles and switches
• Panel connections checked and corrected

Aluminum to copper pigtailing near Maplewood and Orange

South Orange is in Essex County, and our crews are in the area most days. If you are just outside town, we also work in Maplewood, Orange, Irvington and Vauxhall. Here we cover ZIP code 07079.

Older Essex County buildings hide a lot behind the plaster. Around South Orange 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.

If you searched for “aluminum wiring remediation near South Orange”, one more thing worth knowing: we coordinate with PSE&G, JCP&L, Atlantic City Electric, Rockland Electric or a municipal utility when a job needs the power company involved, so you do not have to.
