Homes wired with aluminum are a fire risk. We make safe, permanent connection repairs that solve it.
Many homes built in the 1960s and 70s were wired with aluminum branch circuits, which can loosen, overheat, and become a serious fire hazard at connections over time. CR Electric repairs aluminum wiring with proven, permanent methods that make your home safe again - without rewiring the entire house.
Using approved connectors and techniques (such as COPALUM-style/AlumiConn repairs), we treat the connections at outlets, switches, and the panel where aluminum fails. The fix is permanent and requires no future maintenance.
For over 25 years, homeowners and businesses across the New Orleans metro and Northshore have trusted CR Electric for honest, code-compliant electrical work. We're licensed and insured, we pull the proper permits, and we give you up-front pricing before any work begins - with 24-hour emergency service from two locations.
Aluminum branch wiring isn't inherently a problem, but its connections can loosen and overheat over time, which is a recognized fire hazard. The good news is that proper connection repairs eliminate the risk permanently.
Usually not. In most homes the safe, cost-effective fix is to remediate the connections with approved connectors rather than full rewiring. We'll tell you honestly which approach your home needs.
Often, yes - many insurers require documented remediation for aluminum-wired homes. We provide documentation of the repairs for your insurer or a real-estate transaction.
