Scrivner Electric: Reliable Electricians Serving Fresno 93720

Absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection is the first and most critical step. Our electricians are trained to spot the specific signs of outdated aluminum wiring and its potentially hazardous connections. We'll assess the entire system, check for overheating at terminals, and provide a clear report on any immediate risks, along with safe remediation options to protect your home.

Our inspections for older Fresno homes go beyond a basic check. We thoroughly examine the main service panel for capacity and safety, inspect wiring types (like aluminum), test outlets and grounding systems, and evaluate the overall load on your circuits. The goal is to identify not just code violations, but latent fire hazards and reliability issues common in aging systems, giving you a complete picture of your electrical health.

We'll explain all your options clearly. The most comprehensive solution is a complete rewiring with modern copper, which eliminates the hazard permanently. For some homes, a proven and code-compliant alternative is installing special COPALUM connectors at every outlet and switch, which safely terminates the aluminum wiring. We'll help you understand the pros, cons, and costs of each approach for your specific situation.
