Aluminum Wiring Replacement & Repair in Pompano Beach & Broward County
Many homes built roughly between 1965 and 1973 were wired with aluminum branch circuit wiring instead of copper. Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper as it heats and cools, which can loosen the connections at outlets, switches, and breaker lugs over time. A loose connection arcs and overheats, and that is a real fire risk. We inspect the wiring throughout the home, confirm whether it is aluminum or copper, and recommend the right path: full replacement with copper, or a safe remediation such as properly installed pigtail connections at every device.

Aluminum Wiring Replacement & Repair FAQ
How do I know if my home has aluminum wiring?
Homes built between roughly 1965 and 1973 are the most common. We can inspect the wiring at your panel and a few devices to confirm whether the branch circuits are aluminum or copper.
Does aluminum wiring have to be completely replaced?
Not always. In some homes a safe remediation, such as properly installed pigtail connections at every device, is an accepted fix. In others, full replacement is the right call. We recommend the option that fits the condition and the code.
Will my insurance company require aluminum wiring remediation?
Many Florida insurers require an inspection or remediation before writing or renewing a policy on a home with aluminum branch wiring. We can provide the documentation they need after the repair.
Does the repair require a permit?
Yes. Replacing or remediating branch wiring requires an electrical permit through the city building department and an inspection. We pull the permit and coordinate the inspection.
