Homes with aluminum wiring are more than 50% more hazardous than those with copper wiring. "Why?" you might ask. Aluminum is a softer metal than copper and tends to heat up faster, which can also lead to faster deforming. These can cause loose connections to form and will lead to more energy being wasted, and if overworked, may lead to fires. These are disadvantages that tell us aluminum is not the most effective metal to choose from.
If you’re aware of the hazards of aluminum wiring, you may want to check if you’re wiring is like that as well. There are several ways to understand what type of wiring you have. If you have aluminum wiring, you may have signs of poor electrical connection, such as having outlet shocks, light bulbs burning out too fast, or flickering lights. Because aluminum wiring produces excessive heat, if outlet coverings are too hot to touch or there’s the smell of burning plastic near wires, this can also tell you that your house has aluminum wiring.
The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.
Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!
Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!
Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!
If you want an electrical wiring upgrade, do not disassemble any components unless trained to do so. There is a fatal risk and if you don’t know what you’re doing, it can be very hazardous. Let an experienced electrician from Mr. Electric of Fort Worth come inspect your wiring and install new ones where needed.
Benefits of Copper Wiring
Choosing copper wiring is the better and safer option. It comes with many great advantages compared to aluminum wiring. Copper wiring is resistant to overheating and can prevent melting wires. The wiring is thin, so it allows itself to be bent without breaking. It’s easy to install and is resistant to corroding and rusting. It conducts electricity better than other materials and is compatible with almost all of today’s appliances, making the job of your electrician a little less hard. Copper wiring is the safest and most efficient option you can choose from and will save you a lot of trouble.
