Clay City Electrician | Electrical Inspections & Aluminum Wiring Repair | Hemrich Electric

Many older homes in our area were built with aluminum wiring, which can become a serious fire hazard over time due to corrosion and overheating at connections. A professional electrical inspection from Hemrich Electric will identify any aluminum wiring issues, outdated components, or faulty GFCI outlets, giving you a clear safety assessment and a plan to bring your home up to modern safety standards.

Frequent GFCI failure is a common issue we see in Clay City homes. This usually indicates a ground fault, which could be caused by moisture, a faulty appliance, or damaged wiring downstream. It's a critical safety feature that's working to prevent an electrical shock. Our electricians can diagnose the exact cause—whether it's a simple outlet replacement or a more complex wiring problem—and fix it to ensure your family is protected.

Our comprehensive inspection specifically checks for the presence of aluminum wiring and examines all connection points, like outlets and switches, for signs of overheating, arcing, or corrosion—the primary risks. We'll test the integrity of the connections and evaluate if your system needs safety upgrades, such as COPALUM crimps or AlumiConn connectors, which are approved methods to mitigate the dangers of aluminum wiring in your home.
