Homes built from about 1965 to 1975 often have solid aluminum branch wiring, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission found them many times more likely to reach fire-hazard conditions at the connections than copper-wired homes. The repair is not a rewire: a licensed electrician pigtails a short copper lead onto every aluminum connection with a connector rated for it (AlumiConn or COPALUM) and fits CO/ALR-rated devices where pigtailing does not fit. A typical three-bedroom home takes one to two days, is permitted and inspected, and produces the paperwork insurers ask for.

What We Find

How to Tell You Have It

Built 1965–1975

Kent, Renton, Federal Way, Des Moines, Burien and much of Tacoma have whole neighborhoods from these years. Earlier and later homes are usually copper.

Cable marked AL or ALUMINUM

Look at the cable jacket where it enters the panel or at an attic junction box. Silver-colored conductor ends confirm it.

Warm cover plates

Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper and loosens under the screw. The warm plate is the loosened connection.

Flicker and intermittent outlets

Connections that work when cool and open when warm. Classic aluminum behavior.

Scorch or a hot-plastic smell

A connection has already arced. Breaker off, call now.

Insurer or inspector flagged it

Common at sale and at policy renewal. Most carriers accept AlumiConn or COPALUM repair with the permit record.

Why Next Phase

Small Jobs, Taken Seriously

A dead outlet gets the same licensed electrician and the same code as a panel upgrade. Bad connections are how house fires start.

FAQ

Common Questions

The wire itself carries current fine. The danger is at every connection: aluminum creeps under screw pressure, oxidizes, and the loose oxidized joint heats up. Repair the connections and the hazard is addressed; that is why pigtailing is the accepted fix.

Pigtailing with AlumiConn or COPALUM connectors is recognized by the Consumer Product Safety Commission as a permanent repair, costs a fraction of a rewire, and does not open walls. A full rewire is the only way to remove the aluminum entirely; we quote both when asked.

Most carriers accept a documented AlumiConn or COPALUM repair with the permit and inspection record; a few specify COPALUM only. Tell us which carrier and we check before we quote.

Yes. Aluminum remediation is permitted electrical work in Washington and is inspected by L&I. The inspection record is also what your insurer wants to see.

One day for a smaller home, two for a larger one with many boxes. Power is off room by room, not to the whole house at once.
