Addison Electrician | Electrical Inspection & Aluminum Wiring Repair

Yes, absolutely. A core part of our electrical inspection service in Addison is specifically checking for the presence and condition of aluminum wiring, which is a known hazard in many area homes. Our electricians will examine your wiring, outlets, and connections for signs of overheating or improper installations that are common with aluminum systems. We then provide a clear report and expert recommendations, which may include safe remediation like COPALUM crimp connectors or other NEC-approved methods to eliminate the fire risk.

In Addison, attic short circuits are often caused by two local factors: insulation settling onto or around electrical fixtures and wiring, causing overheating, or damage from rodents and pests common in our area. During an electrical inspection, we safely access your attic to trace the circuit, identify the exact point of failure—whether it's a compromised wire, a faulty connection, or insulation contact—and repair it to code. We can also implement preventative measures, like installing rodent-proof conduit or adjusting insulation, to stop the problem from recurring.

If your Addison home was built between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s, it's more likely to have aluminum wiring. Warning signs include flickering lights, warm or discolored faceplates on outlets, a burning plastic smell from switches, or frequently tripped breakers. Do not ignore these signs. Contact us for a professional electrical inspection. We can definitively identify the wiring type and its condition. Our experts will assess the specific risks to your home and outline the safest repair options, giving you peace of mind and protecting your family from potential electrical fires.
