Kent Electric: Licensed Electricians Serving Pelham 35124

Many older homes in Pelham were built with aluminum wiring, which can become a fire hazard over time as connections loosen and corrode. A professional electrical inspection from Kent Electric identifies these specific risks, checks for overheating at outlets, and assesses the overall safety of your system to prevent potential dangers.

Our inspection goes beyond a simple visual check. We use thermal imaging and load testing to detect hidden hotspots in outlets and wiring that indicate dangerous overheating—a common issue we see in Pelham. We examine the entire circuit, connections at the panel, and the condition of the outlets themselves to pinpoint the exact cause and recommend a safe, lasting fix.

We'll provide a clear, expert assessment. The safest long-term solution is often a complete rewiring with modern copper. However, for some situations, we may recommend and perform COPALUM crimp repairs—a specialized, permanent fix that mitigates the hazards of aluminum wiring by creating a secure, code-compliant connection. We'll explain all options so you can make the best choice for your home and budget.
