Aluminum Wiring Repair for Safer Homes
Does your older home have aluminum wiring? Many older homes contain it, and it needs careful attention. Stapleford Electric in Wilmington, DE, makes that wiring safer. Call (302) 999-0412 to schedule an assessment.
Aluminum wiring was used in many homes built decades ago. It expands and contracts more than copper, which can loosen connections over time. Loose connections can overheat. Overheating raises the chance of a fire.
