San Diego Superior Electric: Professional Electrical Contractor Serving San Diego 92107

Yes, aluminum wiring, common in many San Diego homes built between the 1960s and 1970s, can be a fire hazard due to its tendency to loosen and corrode at connections over time. San Diego Superior Electric has extensive experience inspecting and remedying this specific local issue. We can perform a thorough safety inspection and discuss solutions, which may include installing special connectors or recommending a partial wiring update to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and reliable.

Our standard electrical inspection is a comprehensive review of your home's electrical system. We check the main service panel for proper capacity and safety, test outlets and switches for correct wiring and grounding, inspect visible wiring for damage, and ensure all lighting fixtures are securely installed. For older San Diego homes, we pay special attention to aging infrastructure and potential hazards like outdated wiring. The goal is to identify any issues and provide clear, actionable recommendations to keep your home safe and up to code.

The time required depends on the complexity of the installation and the existing wiring. A standard outlet or light fixture replacement in an accessible location typically takes our licensed electricians one to two hours. For new installations where wiring needs to be run, it may take longer. We prioritize clear communication and will provide a time estimate during our initial consultation. Our team is known for its efficiency and professionalism, ensuring the job is done correctly without unnecessary delays.
