Birmingham Electrical Inspection Experts | Aluminum Wiring & Outdoor Lighting

Yes, absolutely. Our electrical inspections specifically include checking for the presence of aluminum wiring, which was common in Birmingham homes built between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s. We look for signs of overheating, corrosion, and improper connections at outlets and switches, which are common failure points. We'll provide a clear assessment and recommend the necessary repairs to mitigate fire hazards.

For recurring outdoor lighting issues, our inspection goes beyond just replacing bulbs. We check the circuit's grounding and wiring integrity for weather damage, test the light fixtures and sockets for corrosion or short circuits, and ensure the GFCI protection (required for outdoor outlets) is functioning correctly. We'll find the root cause, whether it's faulty wiring, a bad connection, or a problem with the fixture itself.

Older homes in our area often have electrical systems that can't handle modern power demands and may contain outdated materials like aluminum wiring. An inspection assesses the entire system's safety and capacity, checking for overloaded circuits, improper wiring, insufficient outlets, and lack of modern safety devices like GFCIs and AFCIs. It's a proactive step to prevent electrical fires and ensure your home is safe for your family.
