Aluminum Wiring Replacement Services in Lehigh Acres, FL
In recent years, there has been an influx of concern over the safety of aluminum wiring. Homes built during the mid-1960s and 70s equipped with aluminum wiring are possible hazards. Now homeowners are discovering why most insurance companies won’t cover or renew them. Property owners should have their wiring inspected/repaired/ or replaced. If you want an Aluminum wiring replacement for your home, call Finishing Touch Lighting LLC.
Overheating and the failure of aluminum wiring terminations have been the causes of many electrical problems. The reason behind this is the oxidation of the wiring. Many modern components are not compatible with older aluminum wiring.
Expansion Rate of Aluminum Wiring
Aluminum wiring has a higher expansion rate than other types. This often leads to losing connections, arcing, melting, and eventually fire. The following are also signs of potential problems with aluminum wiring:
- Warm cover plates
- Discoloration of switches
- Receptacle discoloration
- Flickering lights
- The smell of hot plastic

If you are renovating the home or reconfiguring it where the aluminum wiring will become affected, a replacement could be the best solution to the project. In most cases, wiring is a very challenging process in any home or business.
Rewiring
As many problems can arise from older aluminum wiring, rewiring may be the best answer to your wire problems. Having the wiring in the home rewired will be an investment cost worth making as it can increase the property’s price.
