Many homes built between 1965-1973 contain aluminum branch circuit wiring, which poses significant fire and safety risks. Our licensed electricians specialize in safely replacing aluminum wiring with modern copper throughout Northern Virginia.
Aluminum wiring expands and contracts more than copper, leading to loose connections, overheating, and potential fires. Insurance companies and safety experts recommend complete replacement for maximum protection.
