Aluminum Wiring Repair MN: AlumiConn Safety Retrofits
The 1970s Fire Hazard
Was your home built between 1965 and 1973? Aluminum wiring expands, contracts, and loosens over time. We fix it for good using AlumiConn® connectors.
According to the CPSC, homes with aluminum wiring are 55 times more likely to have fire-hazard conditions at outlets than copper-wired homes. This isn't about if a connection will fail, but when.
The "Purple" Solution
We don't just swap outlets. We use CPSC-approved methods to permanently secure your home without destroying your walls.
AlumiConn Lugs
The Permanent Fix. These purple connectors use a torque-screw to mechanically bite into the aluminum wire, stopping oxidation and cold-flow dead in its tracks. CPSC Approved.
Safe Conversion
AlumiConn connectors actually convert the end of your wire to copper. This allows us to install safe, modern, standard switches and outlets throughout your home.
Save $10,000+
Rewiring an entire house costs $15k-$25k and destroys walls. Our retrofit process is a fraction of the cost and satisfies insurance requirements without even cracking a bucket of paint.
