Solid aluminum branch wiring was installed in millions of homes between 1965 and 1973 and it is still behind the walls in a lot of San Diego, CA. The problem is not the wire. It is the connections, which loosen and oxidise until they overheat behind an outlet or switch.

AAA Electric repairs aluminum wiring three ways depending on your budget: AlumiConn or COPALUM pigtails at every device, replacement of every outlet and switch with CO/ALR rated devices, or a full copper rewire. We will look at the house and tell you which one makes sense.

Aluminum Wiring Replacement FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Aluminum Wiring Replacement

Questions we hear most often about Aluminum Wiring Replacement in San Diego, CA.

Talk to a real person
How much does electrical repair cost?
A service call to diagnose and fix a single outlet, switch or breaker usually lands in the low hundreds. Rewiring, panel work and anything that needs a permit costs more and gets a written quote first. You will never get a surprise number after the work is done.
My breaker keeps tripping. Do I need a new breaker or a new panel?
It depends on why it trips. An overloaded circuit needs a second circuit, not a bigger breaker. A worn breaker gets replaced with the correct listed part. If the panel is a Federal Pacific, Zinsco or Sylvania model, or it has no spaces left, we will talk about replacement.
Is aluminum wiring dangerous?
Aluminum branch wiring from the late 1960s and early 1970s is a known fire risk at the connections, not in the wire itself. It can be made safe with AlumiConn or COPALUM pigtails at every device, or replaced with copper. We will inspect and price both options.
Can you add outlets without tearing up the walls?
In most rooms, yes. We fish cable through existing walls and ceilings and cut only the box opening. Where an access hole is unavoidable we patch it. Kitchens, garages and bathrooms may need GFCI or a new 20 amp circuit, which we will explain before starting.
What does an electrical inspection cover?
The service entrance, panel, grounding and bonding, GFCI and AFCI coverage, a sample of outlets and switches, smoke detectors and any wiring visible in the attic, basement and garage. You get a written report ranked by risk, useful before buying an older home or when your insurer asks for one.
