Splice Electric: Expert Electrical Repair Serving Del Mar 92014

Aluminum wiring, common in many Del Mar homes built from the mid-1960s to mid-1970s, can oxidize and loosen at connections over time, creating a serious fire hazard. A professional electrical inspection by Splice Electric identifies these high-risk points, such as at outlets and switches. We assess the condition of the wiring and provide a clear report on necessary repairs, like proper pigtailing with AlumiConn connectors, to bring your system up to modern safety standards and protect your home.

Frequent AFCI trips are a common issue in Del Mar homes as these safety devices are sensitive to even minor arc faults, which can indicate hidden wiring problems. We don't recommend simply replacing the breaker. An inspection from Splice Electric can diagnose the root cause—such as a nail in a wire, a loose connection, or a faulty appliance—and fix it safely. This ensures your arc fault protection is working correctly to prevent electrical fires without being a nuisance.

Absolutely. Proactive inspection is the best defense. Our Del Mar electricians don't just look for active problems; we assess the overall health of your aluminum wiring system. We check for signs of overheating at panels and outlets, test connections for tightness, and evaluate the condition of any previous repairs. This allows us to recommend and perform preventative maintenance, like upgrading connection points, to significantly reduce the risk of a hazardous failure before it ever occurs.
