Aluminum wiring was common in homes built during certain decades, but it expands and contracts differently than copper. Over time this can loosen connections at outlets, switches, and panels. Fromme Electric inspects existing wiring, explains what we find, and replaces problem areas with copper wiring built to handle today's electrical loads safely.
From initial inspection through final installation, we handle every part of the aluminum wiring replacement process.

Replacing aluminum wiring requires careful planning so your home stays safe and functional throughout the project.
We examine your home's wiring system to identify where aluminum wiring is present and assess the condition of connections and circuits.
We walk through our findings with you, explain the risks involved, and outline the recommended scope of replacement work.
Our team replaces aluminum wiring with copper, updating outlets, switches, and panel connections as needed throughout the affected areas.
After installation, we test connections and circuits to confirm everything is functioning properly before closing out the job.
Get clear answers about aluminum wiring replacement, preparation, timing, maintenance, and what to expect before requesting an estimate.
Q1
Homes built during certain periods commonly used aluminum wiring. An inspection is the most reliable way to confirm what type of wiring is present in your walls and panel.
Q2
Aluminum wiring itself isn't inherently unsafe, but it can develop loose connections over time due to expansion and contraction, which increases the risk of overheating at outlets and switches.
Q3
Not always. Depending on the inspection results, some homes need full replacement while others only require attention at specific connection points. We'll go over the options during consultation.
Q4
Timelines vary based on the size of the home and how much wiring needs replacing. We'll give you a clearer estimate after the initial inspection.
Q5
There's some disruption since walls and outlets are accessed during the work, but we plan the project to minimize the impact on your household as much as possible.
Q6
We check your panel, outlets, and accessible wiring to identify aluminum wiring locations and assess the condition of existing connections before recommending next steps.
Q7
In some cases, connection repairs address immediate issues. Full replacement is often recommended for long-term reliability, and we'll discuss which approach fits your situation.
If your home has aluminum wiring, an inspection can clarify what work is needed. Reach out to schedule a consultation with Fromme Electric.
