Yes, aluminum wiring was common in homes built during the 1960s and 70s, which includes many in the original Danville neighborhoods. It's a known fire hazard due to its tendency to loosen and corrode at connections. We safely evaluate the system and typically recommend and perform COPALUM crimp repairs or complete circuit rewiring with modern copper, ensuring your home meets current safety standards.

An upgrade often involves replacing an outdated or overloaded panel with a new, higher-capacity unit to safely support modern appliances and electronics. We start with a thorough inspection of your home's current and future electrical needs. The process includes obtaining any required permits from the Town of Danville, a safe swap-out of the panel, and comprehensive testing. For older homes, this is a key upgrade for safety and functionality.

Inspections are crucial for safety, especially before buying a home, after a major remodel, or if you're experiencing recurring issues. We perform a detailed evaluation of your entire system: checking the service panel for correct amperage and safe breakers, testing outlets for proper grounding and GFCI protection in wet areas, verifying wiring integrity, and ensuring all work meets the National Electrical Code and local Danville requirements. It provides peace of mind and a clear roadmap for any needed repairs.
