💡 Power for Modern Living: Rewiring supports EV chargers, solar, modern appliances, and smart home technology.
The Problem with Aluminum Wiring
Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often used aluminum branch circuit wiring. While it was code-approved at the time, aluminum wiring is now recognized as a fire hazard when left uncorrected:
Expansion & Contraction: Aluminum expands more than copper when heated, loosening terminations over time.
Corrosion (Oxidation): Aluminum oxidizes, creating resistance and heat at connections.
Device Failures: Switches, outlets, and breakers connected to aluminum can overheat or arc.
👉 Left alone, aluminum wiring increases the risk of fire and often fails home inspections.
At Shaka Electric, we provide safe aluminum wiring solutions:
AlumiConn or COPALUM connectors to bond aluminum to copper safely.
Circuit rewiring with copper where higher demand or problem circuits exist.
Inspections & Repairs to identify unsafe connections before they cause damage.
