J & R Electric-James Klawitter - Cincinnati's Professional Electricians

Our comprehensive electrical inspection covers all wiring, panels, outlets, and fixtures to identify potential hazards like outdated aluminum wiring, overloaded circuits, or code violations common in older Cincinnati homes. We provide a detailed report on any issues found, such as loose connections that can cause power surges, and recommend necessary repairs or upgrades to ensure your system is safe and up to current Ohio and Kentucky electrical codes.

Yes, absolutely. Power surges in Cincinnati homes are often caused by loose wiring connections, faulty utility service, or outdated electrical panels. We diagnose the root cause, which may involve inspecting your service panel, grounding system, and internal wiring. Common solutions we provide include tightening connections, installing whole-house surge protection, or upgrading your electrical panel to handle modern loads, protecting your valuable appliances and electronics.

Aluminum wiring, installed in many homes during the 1960s and 70s, can indeed pose a fire hazard due to oxidation and loosening connections over time. As licensed master electricians, we specialize in aluminum wiring remediation. We offer professional repairs that may include installing special connectors (CO/ALR-rated devices) at all outlets and switches or implementing a complete "pigtailing" solution with copper wiring, bringing your system up to current safety standards and giving you peace of mind.
