Aluminum Wiring Repair
At one point in time, aluminum wiring was standard in homes. That has changed for a variety of reasons, and aluminum wiring no longer meets code standards. With that said, if you own an older home in the Greensboro area, you may need to have your aluminum wiring system repaired to keep it operating properly and make sure everything is safe or completely replaced.
For aluminum wiring repair from a professional team of Greensboro electricians, turn to Berico. The Berico name has been trusted in this region for generations and you’ll be in good hands right from the start of the project.
A Potential Hazard
Aluminum wiring has fallen out of favor because of its tendency to overheat and create the risk of a fire. When it heats up, aluminum will expand rather significantly, meaning the connections in the electrical system can be loosened over time.
Because of these performance concerns, it’s now copper that has become the standard for wiring. If you have an outdated aluminum wiring system, the ideal solution would be to replace all of that wiring with copper. That would be a significant safety upgrade and would likely save you money in the long run as you would avoid the future maintenance that would be required to keep your aluminum wiring system working properly.
Performing Proper Repairs
Of course, if you don’t want to replace the entire system at this time, the Berico team will be able to perform professional repairs to get the current wiring back in working order. In many cases, these repairs can be rather quick and easy, but you’ll need to have the Berico team out to your home to investigate the situation before a plan for the repairs can be made. If it turns out that the repairs are going to be more extensive than expected at first, you may want to revisit the idea of replacing the wiring as it could prove to be the more affordable choice.
Pay Attention for Signs of Trouble
You never want to ignore signs of electrical problems in your home. One of the first signs that something is very wrong is a burning smell coming from part of the house. If you notice a burning odor that doesn’t have an obvious explanation, it’s possible that your electrical system is to blame. Likewise, if you have outlets or switches that seem to have discolored recently, or that have slight signs of burning around the edges, there is something wrong that needs to be addressed. Given the inherent danger in these problems, you never want to drag your feet on electrical repairs – call Berico immediately to schedule an appointment.
