Waynes Electrical Service | Reliable Electricians in Lanett, AL

Many older homes in our area, especially those built from the mid-1960s to mid-1970s, may contain aluminum branch circuit wiring, which can pose a fire hazard over time due to oxidation and loose connections. A professional electrical inspection from Waynes Electrical Service can identify this and other age-related issues, like outdated panels or insufficient grounding, to help prevent potential hazards.

Frequent AFCI trips are a common local issue and are a sign the device is working to prevent electrical arcs that can cause fires. However, persistent tripping can indicate a problem like a damaged wire, a faulty appliance, or an overloaded circuit. Instead of just resetting it, contact us for an inspection. We can pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's in the wiring, a specific outlet, or an appliance—and provide a safe, permanent fix.

Our thorough inspection for aluminum wiring includes checking all accessible connections at outlets, switches, and the main panel for signs of overheating, such as discoloration or warmth. We assess the condition of the wiring insulation and look for any improper connections made with devices not rated for aluminum (CU/AL). We then provide a detailed report and recommend the safest repair options, which may include installing specially rated connectors (CO/ALR) or considering a partial wiring update.
