Aluminum and Cloth Wiring Replacement Orlando, FL

  • Cloth wiring was commonly used in homes built before the 1960s. It's insulated with cloth coverings, which nowadays, with modern technology, we know that that is not a safe idea. As electrical currents increase, they can lead to overheating, which in turn, can cause electrical fires. So, if you currently have cloth wiring, you need a cloth wiring replacement. Orlando, FL property owners should know that old cloth wiring in homes is associated with several risks, including:

    • The cloth can fray, exposing the wires and leading to heat exposure and fire hazards.
    • The cloth can contain asbestos, which is dangerous to breathe in.
    • Cloth wiring is a poor insulator, losing its ability to hold in heat over time.
    • Oftentimes, cloth wiring lacks grounding, which is a critical feature in modern electrical systems.

    It is very important that you contact our experienced electricians for a cloth wiring replacement. Orlando, FL electricians on our team will conduct a four-point inspection to ensure that all aspects of your electrical system are functioning safely and efficiently. Then, we will perform electrical troubleshooting and continue with the house rewiring service. We use high-quality workmanship and personalized solutions for each electrical service we perform. Reduce the risk of electrical fires in your home by reaching out to us right away for a cloth wiring replacement.

  • Aluminum wiring was commonly used in homes from the 1960s to the mid-1970s. Like cloth wiring, aluminum wiring is outdated, and it too has its own set of risks:

    • Aluminum wiring is prone to overheating and loose connections, which can lead to fires.
    • Often, aluminum wiring lacks the necessary anti-oxidant compounds, which leads to poor connections and a wide range of electrical issues.

    Aluminum wiring is more oxidized than copper wire, and the compound is formed by this process. As time passes, oxidation can cause your aluminum wiring to degrade faster, and when left unaddressed, it can lead to increased resistance, potentially resulting in a power supply failure and overheating.

    To avoid these potential hazards, reach out to us right away for an aluminum wiring replacement. Orlando, FL residents can expect a thorough electrical inspection and accurate troubleshooting from our professionals. We'll replace your aluminum wiring for more efficient wiring, increasing the reliability and safety of your property's electrical system.
