If you own a home with aluminum wiring and are having electrical problems or thinking about making changes, it's really important to talk to a qualified electrician. Aluminum wiring was commonly used in older houses, but it's been linked to safety issues and fire risks. Because aluminum wiring can have problems like oxidation and expanding/contracting, it can lead to loose connections and maybe even a fire risk.
Nowadays, people often use copper wiring for better safety. A certified electrician knows how to check your electrical system thoroughly. The skilled team of electricians at Mister Sparky will look for signs of trouble, like overheating or loose connections caused by the aging of the aluminum components.
Once they figure out what's going on, they'll suggest solutions based on your specific situation. They will also replace electrical devices like outlets and switches with ones made for aluminum wiring. This helps make sure everything works well together and lowers the risk of issues from different materials being used.
Call our team of aluminum wiring repair and replacement electricians at (800) 906-4577 . Our team is ready to take your call 24/7.
Aluminum wire was popular in the 1960s and 1970s because of its weight, conductivity, and low cost. Though it has a bad reputation, aluminum wire is not always a fire risk if installed properly. Since aluminum shrinks and expands depending on the temperature, its connections to terminals can naturally loosen. Improperly secured aluminum wiring can loosen over time and cause sparks and overheating. The dangerous parts of aluminum wiring are at switches, outlets, and other terminals.
Electricians may not always need to replace aluminum wiring. However, if your home has aluminum wiring, you should always have it inspected by an electrician for safety. Since this type of wiring has the potential to be exceptionally dangerous, a pro should always be the one to inspect it. If you’re planning on selling your home soon, know that some home inspectors will no longer pass houses with aluminum wiring.
If your home has aluminum wiring, two options can help ensure that the wiring isn’t dangerous. The first and most obvious answer is a complete rewiring of your home. An electrician should use copper wire to replace aluminum because of its conductivity and stability. However, this process can be extensive.
When complete rewiring isn’t a viable solution, an electrician might suggest something known as pig tailing. Pig tailing describes the process of connecting the end of every aluminum wire in a home to a copper wire strand using a special wire connector. Pig tailing modernizes aluminum wiring enough to pass most local codes and inspections.
If your home is older and you’re uncertain if it has aluminum wiring, it probably does. Our team is ready to come to your home, inspect its wiring, and help you decide the best way to mitigate hazards from aluminum wires. We always consider your needs and budgets as we make your home’s electrical systems safer.

Professional, punctual, and proficient! I called Mister Sparky to install new electrical sockets for my basement, and they showed up ready to knock the job out of the park.

I truly hope Mister Sparky realizes what a top employee they have in Andrew Brook. Andrew has taken care of multiple electrical issues I have had in my home. He has always been on time, extremely knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. Wonderful, friendly person. Just a joy to know I can call Mister Sparky and request Andrew to take care of my electrical needs. I have full faith in Andrew’s abilities. And what a genuinely nice guy too!

I called Mister Sparky because two ceiling fans in our new house didn’t work and needed to be replaced. A few days later, Marco showed up exactly on time. Marco is a Very pleasant, bright, and organized young man. He is very focused on his work and neatly cleaned up his workplace when finished installing the new fans. We are very impressed with every aspect of our experience with Mister Sparky and recommend them without reservation.

Mike was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He did a great job with the electrical work and also pointed out a few upgrades I may want to consider in the future, without being pushy about it. I appreciated his advice and would definitely recommend him.
Will L.
They came out next day to give us a quote on an EV charging set up. Not only did they find a shorter and easier route and set up but provided us with several options and quotes. They also ended up being a bit cheaper than a few other quotes we got. They were friendly and very efficient. I highly recommend them and will definitely reach out to them with any future electrical needs we have.
