Certified Electrical Repair in Sacramento, CA 95817 - JM Power & Lighting

Many Sacramento homes built in the 1960s and 70s used aluminum wiring, which can become a fire hazard over time as connections loosen. A professional inspection from JM Power & Lighting specifically checks for signs of overheating at these connections and assesses any rodent damage, which is common in our area and can expose live wires. It's a proactive step to prevent major hazards.

Our Sacramento electricians perform a detailed visual and diagnostic inspection of your attic, crawl spaces, and behind panels—common entry points for rodents. We look for chewed wire insulation, nesting materials near wiring, and gnaw marks on cables. Identifying and repairing this damage is crucial to prevent short circuits, power outages, and potential fire risks in your home.

We offer expert, permanent solutions tailored to Sacramento homes. The most reliable method is a 'pigtailing' repair, where we connect a short piece of copper wire to the existing aluminum wire at every outlet and switch using a specially rated connector. This creates a safe, stable copper connection point for your devices, eliminating the fire risk associated with loose aluminum connections, and brings your system up to modern safety standards.
