Yes, homes from that era in our area often have aluminum branch circuit wiring, which can loosen over time at connections, creating a fire hazard. Our thorough electrical inspection specifically checks for signs of overheating, corrosion, and improper connections at outlets and switches related to aluminum wiring. We can recommend solutions, such as installing proper connectors or, in some cases, rewiring sections, to ensure your home's safety.

Common signs include frequently tripped breakers, burning smells from outlets, or flickering lights.

This provides a complete picture of your home's electrical health and a prioritized plan for any necessary repairs.
