Whole House Rewiring for Aluminum Wiring
Aluminum wiring was used during a time when the price of copper was too high. Homes built between the 1960s to the mid-1970s most likely still have aluminum wiring. Some homes were still built with aluminum wiring into the early 1980s although the wire was no longer available on the market.
Aluminum wire is known to overheat or fail, especially when a modern family moves into the home and needs more power than the electrical system was designed for.
Give us a call if you have questions or are concerned that you may have this outdated wiring in your home. Our electricians can evaluate the type of wiring you have and determine if it's safely meeting your power needs.
Whole House Rewiring for Knob & Tube Wiring
Knob & tube wiring is a very old type of wiring which was used to build homes before the 1950's. If your home was built during this time, you may still have the knob & tube wiring installed. If so, then your home is definitely a candidate for whole house rewiring.
While experienced electricians can sometimes successfully repair this old wiring, the repairs aren't always handled by a qualified professional. Additionally, the insulation becomes brittle and will rot over time, leaving the wire exposed to the surrounding wall insulation, building materials, and other wires.
