Aluminum wiring replacement in West Milford
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.

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.

Not always. Approved connector repairs at every connection are a recognized permanent fix.
