Is Your Milton Home Wired with Aluminum?
Homes built or wired between the 1960s and mid-1970s in the Milton area may still have aluminum wiring instead of copper. At the time, aluminum was a cost-effective alternative during a period of high copper prices, but aluminum wiring has since been linked to a higher risk of loose connections, overheating, and electrical fires compared to copper. If your home falls into that age range, or if you’re not sure what type of wiring you have, Reliapro Electric can inspect your system and recommend the right solution.
Warning Signs of Aluminum Wiring Problems
Aluminum wiring issues often develop gradually and aren’t always obvious. Signs to watch for include:
- Outlets or switches that feel warm or hot to the touch
- Flickering or dimming lights, especially when appliances turn on
- A burning smell near outlets, switches, or the electrical panel
- Discoloration or scorch marks around outlets or switch plates
- Frequent breaker trips with no clear cause
- Buzzing or crackling sounds from outlets or fixtures
If you notice any of these signs, turn off power to the affected area if it’s safe to do so and call a licensed electrician right away.
Our Aluminum Wiring Repair Process
Aluminum wiring issues require specialized repair methods, not a simple wire swap. Our licensed electricians use industry-approved techniques to safely address aluminum wiring throughout your Milton home, including:
- Comprehensive Inspection – Identifying every connection point where aluminum wiring is present, including outlets, switches, light fixtures, and junction boxes
- Approved Repair Methods – Using connectors and repair techniques recognized by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) for permanently addressing aluminum-to-copper connections
- Code-Compliant Work – Ensuring every repair meets current Florida electrical code
- Full-System Evaluation – Checking for related issues like grounding or panel problems that often accompany older aluminum wiring
Why Aluminum Wiring Matters for Milton Homeowners
Beyond the safety concerns, unresolved aluminum wiring issues can also cause problems when it’s time to sell or insure your home. Many insurance companies require aluminum wiring to be inspected or repaired before issuing or renewing a policy, and it’s a common flag during a 4 point inspection. Addressing it proactively can help you avoid delays with closings, renewals, or claims down the road.
