Jemm Electric - Stratford's Reliable Electrical Repair

Arc fault breakers in Stratford homes can trip due to various issues, from normal appliance loads to hidden wiring faults. Our detailed electrical inspection goes beyond a simple reset. We systematically test the circuit, check for loose connections, and identify any damaged wires that might be causing the arc fault. We'll pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a specific appliance, outdated wiring, or a need for a circuit adjustment—and provide a clear solution to restore safe, reliable power without the nuisance trips.

Our inspection for aluminum wiring focuses on safety-critical connection points. We carefully examine outlets, switches, and fixtures for signs of overheating, such as discoloration, warmth, or flickering lights, which indicate poor connections. We check that all connections are properly made with devices rated for aluminum or with approved coping methods. The goal is to assess the overall risk and provide you with practical options, from targeted repairs at problem junctions to a full safety evaluation, ensuring your home's electrical system is safe.

If our inspection reveals hazards, we offer expert, code-compliant remediation tailored for Stratford homes. The most reliable solution is often 'pigtailing,' where we install short sections of copper wire at every connection using special, UL-listed connectors. This creates a safe, stable interface between the aluminum wiring and your outlets and switches. We can also upgrade devices to those specifically rated for aluminum. We'll explain all options clearly, so you can make an informed decision to permanently address the safety risks in your home.
