Q&A

My home in the Valley has aluminum wiring. What services do you offer to make it safer?

We provide expert aluminum wiring remediation, which often involves installing special connectors (called Al/Cu COPALUM or AlumiConn) at outlets and switches, or recommending a partial or full rewire. Our detailed electrical inspection will identify all at-risk connections, and our repair or installation services will bring your system up to modern safety standards to significantly reduce fire hazard risks.

I want to install an EV charger at my San Fernando Valley home, but I'm worried about overloading my old panel. Can you help?

Absolutely. A circuit overload is a common issue with older Valley homes adding EV chargers. We start with a full electrical inspection to assess your panel's capacity. Our services often include necessary upgrades like circuit breaker installation for a dedicated EV circuit or a full panel upgrade to safely handle the new demand, ensuring your charger works reliably without tripping breakers or creating a hazard.

What should I look for during an electrical inspection to spot potential aluminum wiring or overload problems?

During our inspection, our electricians specifically check for warm outlets or switches, flickering lights, and tripped breakers—signs of overload or faulty connections. We'll examine your panel for proper amperage and inspect wiring at key points to identify aluminum. We then provide a clear report and recommend targeted repairs, whether it's outlet/wire repair, circuit breaker replacement, or a system upgrade to address these local safety issues.
