Aluminum Wiring Conversion

Convert unsafe aluminum cables to reliable copper

About Our Aluminum Wiring Conversion Service

Madison Electric converts homes with aluminum branch circuit cables to safer copper infrastructure. Our aluminum wiring conversion service addresses the specific fire hazards associated with aluminum conductors installed in residences during the 1960s and 1970s. We evaluate your existing system, recommend the most appropriate conversion method, and execute the upgrade with minimal disruption to your household. Your property’s aluminum cables expand and contract differently than copper, creating loose connections that generate heat and pose fire risks. Our electricians remove problematic aluminum circuits and install copper replacements that eliminate these hazards. We also address connection points between different metals using specialized techniques approved by electrical safety organizations and insurance companies.
