Yes, aluminum wiring, common in many mid-century DC homes, can pose fire hazards due to oxidation and loose connections over time. We specialize in inspecting and safely mitigating this risk. We can perform a thorough inspection, recommend solutions like 'pigtailing' with copper connectors at outlets and fixtures, or complete rewiring if necessary, ensuring your home meets current safety standards.

Our comprehensive electrical inspection covers your entire system. We check your circuit breaker panel for proper amperage and signs of wear, test all outlets for correct wiring and grounding, inspect wiring conditions (including for older materials like aluminum), and assess your light fixtures and switches. We provide a detailed report of any issues, safety concerns, and recommendations for repairs or upgrades to keep your DC home safe and up to code.

Absolutely. We frequently help DC homeowners integrate modern smart switches, dimmers, and fixtures with older electrical systems. This often requires installing compatible wall boxes, ensuring proper neutral wires are present, and upgrading circuits to handle new loads. We'll assess your current wiring, explain your options, and perform a clean installation so your new devices work reliably and safely with your existing home infrastructure.
