Collings Electric - Mobile's Best Electrical Contractor

Many older homes in Mobile have aluminum wiring, which can become a serious fire hazard over time as connections loosen and oxidize. A professional electrical inspection from Collings Electric identifies this and other age-related issues, like outdated panels or insufficient grounding, giving you a complete safety report and a clear plan for necessary upgrades to protect your home and family.

Yes, frequently. Ceiling fan wiring failures are a common issue we see in Mobile. The constant motion can loosen wire connections in the ceiling box over time, and improper installation is another culprit. Our inspection will pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a loose connection, faulty switch, or an overloaded circuit—and we'll make the secure repairs needed to restore safe, stable operation.

Our thorough inspection specifically checks for the presence of aluminum wiring and examines all connections at outlets, switches, and the main panel for signs of overheating, corrosion, or improper installations (like copper-aluminum connections without the correct connectors). We'll provide a detailed assessment of the hazard level and explain your options, from adding specialized connectors (COPALUM crimps) to complete circuit rewiring, to ensure your Mobile home is safe.
