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.

We needed a new sub panel install. Patrick and Brooks arrived on time and spent an entire day doing the job right. They are both knowledgeable and personable. Very respectful of our home. It was a big job and they made sure it was done correctly. They even threw in a side job for free. The price was great! And my husband and I can sleep better knowing the electric in our home is safe. We are customers for life. Highly recommend!!!!
Ray Greyling

Stephanie Ward
I cant say enough about Mason and Mr Sparky. He was so very nice. Extremely efficient, punctual. If I ever have the need, he will be the first person I will call.
Guillermo van Maanen
Matt was fantastic and in general the work was extremely efficient , quick and well done. Appreciate the level of detail on installation. Dylan also great at quoting and getting a good price. Work was running a 50amp electric car charger wire and 50amp nema plug through the crawlspace, stapled to subfloor every 4 ft and also installing breakers and surge protector. They were the only company who did not recommend attic (disturbing new insulation) or trenching (extremely expensive). Really appreciate their thoughtfulness and work.

Jamieson couldn’t have done a better job. He understood the complex nature of what I needed and came up with a perfect solution and everything is working perfectly now. Excellent work.

Santhosh
Highly recommend Sparky for all your electrical needs. Marvin & Jorge came and the appointed time and did an excellent job of installing new electric outlets. The job was done quickly and efficiently, and the premises were left very clean after their work.
Jack Edgar
Excellent service, price, and technicians. Noah went above and beyond to make sure my electrical issues were resolved correctly! Will gladly recommend Noah and Mr Sparky! Update: I kept adding services and Noah was courteous and professional about it all. Matt came and helped on one of the days Noah was here, and he showed the same high standards and professionalism shown by Noah. Both are excellent workers and a pleasure to have in my home. I would definitely recommend Mister Sparky and the complete rebuild has given me peace of mind in my home, and that, to me, is priceless.
Raymond (optikalblitz)
Yance and John from Mr. Sparky took on a request for me to relocate my EVSE from one wall of my garage to a more central location so I could charge my EVs in both stalls. They were able to review, quote, and complete the relocation with an even higher quality installation than originally fitted (by another company). Very happy with the speed of the job and the workmanship of it as well.
Kristen Clodfelter

Service and response time were incredibly prompt. Matthew was spot on with the estimate. Doug and Owen were a pleasure to work with. When other companies weren't even interested in giving me an estimate, Mr Sparky swooped in and did the whole job. I highly recommend this company.

Michael installed a new bathroom exhaust fan at my home. It was a complicated install requiring that he work in the cramped attic crawl space. He did an excellent job. He explained what was being done, and why. He was friendly, very courteous, and respectful of property. We are very happy with his work. And would definitely recommend him.
