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 Birmingham, AL. 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 Birmingham, AL.

Talk to a real person
Do I need a permit for an electrical panel upgrade?
Yes, almost everywhere in the country. We pull it, schedule the inspection and coordinate the utility shutoff and reconnect. A panel change without a permit can void your insurance and will show up on a home inspection when you sell.
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.
Do you handle emergency calls at night and on weekends?
Yes. The line at (877) 351-4541 is answered 24 hours a day. Loss of power to part of the house, sparking, a warm panel or a tripped main that will not reset are the calls we treat as emergencies.
