Does your home have aluminum wiring? Understand the critical differences between copper and aluminum electrical wiring,...

Accessible aluminum branch-circuit evaluation and property-specific corrective work for documented connections or a defined copper-replacement scope. Trusted by Bowie homeowners for over 30 years. Licensed, insured electricians serving Prince George's County.
Bowie homeowners trust AJ Long Electric for professional aluminum wiring replacement services. With over 30 years serving Prince George's County, we understand the unique electrical needs of colonial, split-level, rambler homes throughout this neighborhood.
Many Bowie homes experience 1960s levitt & sons construction with aluminum wiring, which can affect aluminum wiring replacement projects. Our licensed electricians are familiar with local construction styles and know how to address common challenges efficiently.
Aluminum branch-circuit wiring requires careful identification and condition-based planning because problems often develop at terminations, splices, and devices rather than along an untouched conductor. AJ Long Electric begins by documenting accessible wiring, panel and device markings, connection methods, visible heat or oxidation, circuit behavior, and prior alterations. That evaluation defines the electrical boundary we can confirm; concealed or inaccessible connections are not represented as inspected. Corrective work is then proposed for documented connections, devices, or circuits, or as a defined copper-replacement scope where replacement is appropriate. The method and materials must fit the conductor, device listing, manufacturer instructions, adopted electrical requirements, and the electrician's verified qualifications. We do not promise a particular connector system or claim that an entire home has been corrected until the actual scope and accessible conditions are documented.
Every aluminum wiring replacement project we complete in Bowie receives the same attention to detail and commitment to safety that has earned us over 1,400 five-star reviews. We handle all Prince George's County permits and inspections, ensuring your project meets current electrical codes.
