Homes built in the late 1960s and 1970s sometimes used aluminum wiring instead of copper. Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper with temperature changes, which can loosen connections over time. Loose connections create heat, and heat creates fire risk. If your home has aluminum wiring, Bouchard's Electric can help.
Options for Aluminum Wiring
You have two main options: a full rewire with copper (the permanent fix), or COPALUM crimp connectors at every connection point (a less invasive fix thats still safe). We'll assess your home and recommend the best approach based on your situation and budget.
