How Aluminum Wiring (NJ) Replacement Can Keep Your Family Safe
In New Jersey, wiring in homes built between 1960 and 1980 is often NJ aluminum wiring, which can be a major hazard. Even without drawing enough current to trip a circuit breaker, aluminum wire connections can overheat enough to start a fire. Moreover, home insurance agencies will refuse to insure such homes until the wiring is replaced and the work has been certified by the ESA (Electrical Safety Authority).
NJ Aluminum Wiring Danger Signs: If you smell hot plastic from insulation, feel that cover plates on your wiring are hot, see switches or receptacles discoloring, or notice flickering lights, you may have improper connections or faulty wiring.
The Solution to Aluminum Wiring (NJ) Problems
Copper wiring replacement (rewiring) is becoming more common these days, as well as upgrading or treating all your home’s receptacles, switches, light fixtures, and junction points. The ESA recommends hiring an authorized electrical contractor to complete this work safely.
The most cost-effective method is to have your NJ electrician “pigtail” wires between the aluminum wire and the wired devices listed above.
