The Wiring Risk Most Homeowners Don't Know to Ask About
Homes built in the 1960s-70s often used aluminum wiring that’s since been linked to loose connections and overheating. If your home’s from that era, this is worth checking, even if nothing seems wrong yet.
Florida licensed: EC13015888
Known Fire-Risk Issue
Aluminum wiring connections loosen over time in a way copper doesn't, a well-documented risk in homes of this era.
Inspection First
We check which circuits are actually aluminum before recommending anything, not every wire in the house.
Full Replacement or Approved Fixes
Full rewiring of affected circuits, or code-approved connection repairs, depending on scope.
Documentation for Insurance
Some insurers ask about aluminum wiring directly. We can document what was found and corrected.
How to Tell If You Have It
Homes built roughly 1965-1975 are the highest-risk window. Warning signs include warm outlet or switch covers, flickering lights unrelated to a bulb, or a faint burning smell near outlets.
What Correction Looks Like
Depending on what we find, that is either full replacement of affected circuits with copper, or approved connector repairs at every aluminum-to-device connection point.
