Aluminum Wiring Replacement in Edison
Edison saw a wave of construction in the 1960s and early 1970s, and a lot of those homes were wired with aluminum branch circuits — a material that works loose and runs hot at its terminations over time. Blue Moon Electrical clears that hazard, either replacing the aluminum runs with copper or applying an approved connector remediation at every device. From 41 Clark Ave, we inspect the real trouble spots and restore the home to a safe, insurable standard.
Eliminating the connection risk — with copper or code-recognized remediation.
Why Aluminum Wiring Is a Risk
The metal itself is the problem. Aluminum swells and shrinks with every heating and cooling cycle and corrodes where it meets dissimilar metals, so the screw terminals at outlets, switches, and the panel slowly back off and heat up — and connection fires in homes this age trace straight to that. The cable buried in the wall is rarely what burns; the junctions are. So we examine the terminations one by one rather than declaring the whole house a teardown.
Replace or Remediate
You've got two legitimate routes. Pulling the aluminum branch circuits and running copper is the permanent answer, and it's easiest when a remodel already has the walls open. When full replacement isn't worth it, an approved remediation — bonding a short copper pigtail to the aluminum at every device with listed connectors — makes each junction safe. We lay out both, including whatever your insurer wants to see, so the choice fits the house and your budget.

Aluminum Wiring FAQs
Risks, fixes, and insurance for Edison aluminum wiring.
Q. Should I use copper or aluminum wiring?
Copper is the standard for branch wiring today — safer and more stable at connections. If your Edison home has older aluminum branch wiring, we recommend replacing or remediating it with copper.
Q. Is it safe to run modern electronics on aluminum wiring?
Aluminum branch wiring loosens and overheats at connections over time, a fire risk with today’s loads. We replace or remediate it so your home is safe.
Q. How do I know if my Edison home has aluminum wiring?
Homes from the 1960s-70s are most likely. We confirm it by inspecting the panel and outlets, which we can do during a safety inspection.
