Yes. Aluminum wiring, prevalent in Tucson homes built from the mid-1960s to mid-1970s, can become hazardous over time due to oxidation and thermal expansion. Our specialized inspection assesses the condition of connections at outlets, switches, and the breaker panel. We look for signs of overheating and recommend proven solutions, like COPALUM crimp connectors or complete rewiring, to ensure your home's safety.

Between professional inspections, be alert for signs of potential rodent damage or failing aluminum wiring. These include flickering lights, outlets or switch plates that are warm to the touch, burning smells, or circuits that trip frequently. If you notice any of these, especially in an older Tucson home, it's wise to schedule an inspection with us promptly to diagnose and fix the issue.
