Aluminum Wiring Replacement

Welcome to Wilson Electrical Services Inc. We are a leading electrical company dedicated to helping homeowners repair, rewire, or rejuvenate aluminum wiring. With the increasing safety concerns regarding aluminum wiring, it is crucial to take measures to prevent fire incidents in homes.

Homes built between the mid-1960s and the late 1970s most likely have aluminum wiring. However, most insurers decline to insure homes with aluminum wiring, unless they see a certificate of inspection. To avoid insurance issues, the aluminum wiring needs to be inspected, repaired, replaced, or certified, while the ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) will inspect and issue a certificate of inspection.

I had the pleasure of hiring Wilson Electric Installations Inc (Ryan) to install my Tesla wall charger, and I'm extremely impressed. Their work was FLAWLESS, and the result is PERFECT. They were professional, punctual, and left the area spotless with their own vacuum :). I highly recommend Ryan and his team for anyone needing Tesla charger installation or any electric works. Thank you for a fantastic job!!

I recently had the joy of working with Ryan and his wonderful team at Wilson Electric. Not only did they upgrade my electric panel to a 200-amp system and seamlessly install an EV charger in my garage, but they also arrived right on time, always exuding a positive and can-do attitude. Many companies I spoke to warned of unavoidable holes in the drywall, yet Ryan, with his commitment to quality, ensured none were made. Their work? Absolutely top-notch! And the icing on the cake was the fair pricing, which is such a rarity these days. I'm genuinely grateful for their unmatched service and outstanding value. I won't stop raving about Wilson Electric to friends, family, and anyone who needs electrical work done!

Ryan and his team did an outstanding job installing 2 new circuits in our basement and underground electric cable installation to our backyard gazebo, including a new fan/light and outlet for additional devices. Ryan and his team were friendly, efficient and did a great job of cleaning up after completing their work both inside and outside. They were also very careful not to disturb our new plants and as a result all have survived. It is really hard these days to find contractors who are thoughtful and who follow through on cleaning up after completing their work; Ryan is the exception. We also had an issue with an existing GFI/AFI that started acting up after the job was completed and Ryan returned immediately after I called him to deal with the issue, repairing both the faulty GFI and adding 2 new GFIs, thus resolving our issues, all at no additional cost. Ryan is a thoughtful professional and we will definitely be hiring him for any future electrical needs. Ryan is now our go-to electrician and we recommend him highly to anyone requiring a professional electrician.

I had Ryan complete the new installation of pot lights in my kitchen today and he ensured that the placement was perfect. The work was done quickly and looks great. Once these were completed I also asked him to change out the existing pot lights in my living room and now have the complete and consistent look throughout. Ryan also installed a motion sensor switch and came up with great solution so that it wasn't turning on all the time with movement. It's works as I had hoped! Thanks for the prompt service and for ensuring all the clean up was completed.

Over the 2022 Christmas break, I had Ryan (Wilson Electric Installations Inc) in to re-wire a few outlets/switches that weren't working properly. Upon initially speaking with Ryan on the phone and explaining the work required, he stated that he could fix the problem. Ryan advised in advance the charges that would be incurred. We scheduled an appointment for the following morning. He showed up right on time and promptly got to work. After a few minutes of explaining what was needed, Ryan set about diagnosing and performing all work that was required. All work was done in a courteous, efficient, and professional manner. Moreover, Ryan was a delight to deal and speak with. He took his time to explain what he needed to do. He was thoughtful and thorough in answering any and all questions I had. I was very comfortable and certain that I had made the right choice in calling Wilson Electric. All work was performed and finished to my complete satisfaction. If needed, I would definitely call him again for any further/future work. I recommend Wilson Electric Installations Inc for anyone in the Durham region (and beyond), for any electrical work you need done (residential, commercial, etc). Ryan is professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. You won't be disappointed!

I Installed some switches and outlets in my kitchen. When I tried engaging the kitchen breakers, the breaker for the whole house tripped and I couldn't get them back on. This was a Saturday at 3pm. Called two electrical companies one said that they had no one available and the other I received no response. I called Ryan, he was at my home within an hour. Took a look at what I'd done and solved the problem within minutes. He showed me what I did wrong, fixed the issue and told me what to do in the future. He's an excellent teacher by the way. Ryan is patient, knowledgeable and a great guy. I was fortunate to find him and I appreciate all that he did for me. He was well worth the cost which wasn't too bad considering this was a weekend and last minute.

I called Ryan of Wilson Electric to help with my sensor outdoor lights. He was quick to respond to my FB Message and called the next day to explain everything in full including some possible troubleshooting ideas. I also explained a bit of a dilemma I was in with my bathroom renos and the heated towel warmers I needed installed in short order! Ryan was prompt in his arrival to fix my lights and took the time to make logical and thorough suggestions for the reno. Despite the extremely short turn around for him to do the needful, he managed to squeeze me in so the contractors could continue their work. He then returned to install my towel warmers and Wi-Fi switch and stayed until he was sure they were working perfectly!! I can't say enough about Ryan's professionalism, competence, punctuality and affable personality!

I just moved in not long ago and found out my panel had some small safety issues. On top of being 100w, and maxed out, it seemed like a good idea to do a swap and upgrade, little did I know how much work that actually involved.Ryan was quick to respond and even took my call in the middle of the evening way past normal operating hours, took time to get to know the full scope of the job, as well as all the other things I was interested in doing. Gave me a nicely itemized estimate with all the costs so I could pick what I wanted to get done and helped me to prioritize what was important to work with my budget.He was very professional and came bright and early in the morning and worked all day without rest to get my panel swapped in the same day so I wouldn't be left in the cold over night. Did a great job with cable management and clean up, and overall delivered a quality service in a very short timeframe. He even put up with my terrible puns, which is no easy task. The most difficult part for me was e-transferring the payment over for a job well done.

Ryan came by our House on the following Monday after we called on Saturday. We originally agreed on Monday afternoon but Ryan called Monday morning to say an opening was available in the morning so we accepted the offer to arrive earlier.What we really appreciated was on Saturday how he took the time to educate and help us on the phone so we could at least mitigate the issue until he showed up two days later.We had a reverse polarity issue in 2 (at the time unidentified) outlets which were in 1 of the 4 basement rooms. When those two outlets were in use a fish smell emanated from the room suggesting a risk of combustibility and maybe fire.To be fair, our home inspector identified the reverse polarity issues in our home inspection in Dec 2019, but 2020 was nothing but plumbing issues for us so the polarity issue got ignored until now.Ryan identified which outlets needed to be re-configured after testing and fixed them and also explained how to avoid a similar reoccurrence going forward. He also got rid of an outdoor sensor light that was not functional with a previously incorrectly installed cord and capped it off so that it was safe. Another to-do job on our home inspection list completed.Afterwards the price that Ryan submitted was more than fair to us.It's good to have someone you know for issues like these and we feel if future electrical issues happen, we have someone to call.thanks Ryan.

Wilson Electric provided all the electrical work for our major kitchen renovation. They ticked all the boxes, professional, skilled, courteous, friendly, on-time. In addition they were flexible, discussed options and ideas with us and gave us good input and advice. As an added bonus, they were well versed in leading edge electrical capabilities and were able to help us with selection and installation of the smart technology we wanted to deploy in our new kitchen. They were meticulous about protecting our home and making sure all dust or debris was removed when the work was done. Importantly during the pandemic, they were careful to observe the necessary healthcare guidelines.I'm 100% confident in recommending Wilson Electric to my friends and family. I'll certainly use their services again, whether it's for 'normal' household electrical work, or for more advanced needs, such as power management for that Electric vehicle we plan to buy.

Aluminum Wiring in Homes

Most homes built from 1965 to 1973 have aluminum wiring, which has a higher risk of having at least one connection become a major fire hazard. Usually, a house has a minimum of 200 wire connections, clearly indicating that such a house has about 200 chances of a fire outbreak due to the danger of aluminum wiring.

Dangers of Aluminum Wiring in a Home

After careful observations, the aluminum wire has been found to have a higher likelihood of causing a fire than copper wire. Homes with aluminum wiring are susceptible to major fire hazards because the aluminum wire has the following dangers

Aluminum is very soft; thus, it is vulnerable to breaking in the wire, causing hot spots.

Aluminum expands and is capable of sneaking under screws, resulting in loose connections and overheating.

Aluminum is more oxidized and can cause overheating.

Aluminum is prone to galvanic corrosion when it comes in contact with some dissimilar metals.

The above characteristics of aluminum wiring make it more likely to cause a major fire hazard.

Why Aluminum Wiring Needs to Be Replaced

Due to the higher risk of causing a major fire hazard, it is recommended that aluminum wiring be replaced. As a result, it is best to check the electrical wiring system in your home and consider replacing it if it has aluminum wiring, except if it is certified safe after due inspection. Regardless, here are reasons why you should replace the aluminum wiring in your home

Conductivity

Aluminum wiring of the same gauge as copper wiring has 38.2% less volume conductivity. As a result, it carries less electricity, but the loss can be compensated for by increasing its gauge, which can take up more space.

2.

Durability

Aluminum wiring is less dense and less flexible, making it less durable than copper. It can easily be damaged if roughly handled, twisted, bent, or worked on by an electrician without the right skill for the task. The aluminum conductor in the wiring can break or split during installation, which can cause arcing and electrical fires.

3.

Melting

Aluminum wiring is less durable and more prone to overheating. The aluminum conductor inside the wiring can be easily affected negatively by excess heat. It can transform into molten liquid metal and cause a major fire hazard.

4.

Corrosion

Aluminum wiring is prone to corrosion, and its level of conductivity will reduce over time, causing electrical failure in homes.

Given the above, it is advised that aluminum wiring be replaced with copper wiring that offers higher quality, reliability, durability, and safety. If you have an older home, it will help to invite a certified electrician to inspect your home and repair or replace the aluminum wiring, as the case may be. This will improve efficiency and safety.

Aluminum Wiring Rejuvenation

Rejuvenating your aluminum wiring is a perfect alternative to aluminum wiring replacement if it has not undergone any kind of maintenance. Aluminum wiring rejuvenation involves replacing all the receptacles and switches with COLAR-rated devices (proper anti-oxidant and properly rated devices). Furthermore, all the connections at the junction boxes and light fixtures should be remade with properly rated wire connectors and antioxidants.

It is good to know that aluminum wiring rejuvenation is permitted through the Electrical Safety Authority (E.S.A.), and a certificate of inspection declaring your aluminum wiring safe will be given to you.
