Dodd Electric: Licensed Electrical Company Serving Jemison 35085

Absolutely. A core part of our detailed electrical inspection is identifying the type of wiring present. In many older homes in Jemison, we find aluminum wiring, which can be a serious fire hazard due to oxidation and loose connections over time. Our inspection will confirm its presence, assess its condition, and we will provide clear, expert recommendations for remediation to ensure your home's safety.

Yes, frequent AFCI trips are a common call we get from homeowners in our area. While AFCIs are crucial safety devices that prevent electrical fires, nuisance trips can be frustrating. Our electricians will perform a systematic diagnostic to pinpoint the cause—whether it's a wiring issue, a faulty appliance, or a compatibility problem—and implement a reliable, permanent fix to restore power and peace of mind.

We offer two primary, safe solutions for aluminum wiring remediation, which we'll discuss with you in detail. The most effective method is a complete rewiring with modern copper wire. For a more targeted approach, we can install COPALUM crimp connectors at all connection points—a permanent, UL-listed repair that mitigates the fire risk without a full rewire. We'll help you choose the best, safest option for your home and budget.
