Protect Your Home from Aluminum Wiring Risks
Many homes built between the 1960s and 1970s contain aluminum branch wiring. While aluminum wiring itself is not always unsafe, the connections can loosen or oxidize over time, increasing electrical resistance and creating excessive heat.
Copper pigtailing is a proven solution that replaces vulnerable aluminum terminations with properly installed copper connections using approved connectors. This improves the safety and reliability of your electrical system while helping meet current electrical code and insurance requirements.
