Yes, we frequently address aluminum wiring, a common issue in many Elgin homes built during certain periods. Our electricians are trained to evaluate the condition of existing aluminum wiring and recommend the safest solution, which may include installing special connectors (CO/ALR rated devices) or implementing a more comprehensive remediation plan like copper pigtailing. Our goal is to mitigate the fire and overheating risks associated with aging aluminum wiring systems.

Water and electricity are a dangerous combination.
