Outdated Wiring Electrical Repairs
One problem area that your electrician should be able to find quickly is the use of aluminum wiring throughout your home. There was a time during the 1970’s and 80’s when aluminum was an approved wiring option in homes. It was much cheaper than copper. As we forged ahead technologically, aluminum wiring became obsolete by 1990 and all electrical devices within the home on the electrical grid began to get replaced with copper rated ones. It is because copper is seen as a better conductor. And at Toronto Wiring, we use it in all of our electrical repairs ,renovations and installations. The problem with the phase out of aluminum is that it does not “play” well with copper, which means there is an arcing hazard between the two metals when they meet at a connection point in your electrical system. The problem has the potential for creating a fire. Whenever you begin the process of remodelling your electrical devices, it is a good idea to call a licensed electrical contractor such as Toronto Wiring to review electrical wiring and provide some advice ON electrical repairs to keep your home safe.
Aluminum Electrical Wiring Repair – The Cost
The next question that will come to your mind is how much will the aluminum wiring repair and replacement project cost? Re-wiring an entire home can be relatively cheap on materials but very expensive in terms of labour costs. The cost will depend on how old the home is, how large it is, and how easily accessible the wiring is to our electricians. To give you an idea, replacing aluminum wires with copper wires in an entire house can range from $8,000-15,000 depending on the factors mentioned above. Have no fear! We, at Toronto Wiring, offer several options to take care of your wallet. Pig-tailing the aluminum wiring is a cheaper option than replacing the aluminum wires. The nice thing about pig-tailing is that you can work through the house as your finances allow. At Toronto Wiring, we are happy to set you up with a schedule that works for you.
