Otero Electric and Construction: Professional Electrical Repair Serving Waukegan 60085

Many homes in our area built from the mid-1960s to mid-1970s used aluminum wiring, which can become a fire hazard over time. A professional inspection by Otero Electric identifies this and other age-related issues, like rodent damage, ensuring your family's safety and your home's compliance with current electrical codes.

Our thorough inspection specifically looks for gnawed insulation, exposed wires, and nests within your electrical panels and attic spaces—common problems in Waukegan. We assess the full extent of the damage and provide a clear plan to repair or replace compromised wiring, preventing short circuits and potential fires.

We offer expert solutions tailored to your home and budget. The most comprehensive fix is a complete rewiring with modern copper wire. For some situations, we can install specially designed connectors (called COPALUM crimps) at every outlet and switch to mitigate the hazard. We'll explain all options so you can make an informed decision for your home's safety.
