Aluminum Wiring Maintenance

If your home was built between 1970 and 1980, there’s a good chance it contains aluminum wiring. Many homes throughout Durham Region and Clarington were built around this time, and do contain aluminum wiring. While aluminum wiring can be perfectly safe, it requires regular maintenance by a Licensed Electrical Contractor to remain code-compliant and hazard-free. That’s where Multi-Trade Building Services comes in.

Why Does Aluminum Wiring Need Maintenance?

Aluminum wiring is softer and more prone to wear than copper, making it vulnerable to overheating and loosening over time. Without proper maintenance, this can lead to potential fire hazards or electrical malfunctions. Regular inspections every 3–5 years are essential to ensure your system stays safe and efficient.

What We Do During Maintenance

Our comprehensive Aluminum Wiring Maintenance service includes:

• A full inspection of all switches, receptacles, and the electrical panel.

• Replacing outdated or non-aluminum-rated components with proper, code-compliant materials.

• Addressing common issues like loose connections and worn wiring to prevent overheating.

Why Choose Us?

When it comes to electrical work, experience and trust matter.

Our team has the expertise to spot and correct these issues, ensuring your home is both safe and up to code.
