Why Aluminum Wiring
Needs Professional Remediation
We inspect outlets, switches, junction boxes, panel terminations, and aluminum branch circuit connections.
! Overheating Connections
Aluminum connections can loosen over time, increasing resistance and heat around outlets, switches, junction boxes, and panel terminations.
! Oxidation & Poor Contact
Aluminum conductors can oxidize at contact points, creating unstable electrical continuity and visible signs of deterioration.
! Unsafe Device Connections
Copper-only switches, receptacles, or connectors may not be suitable for aluminum wiring. Proper copper pigtailing or approved connectors may be required.
! Repair or Replacement
Depending on the condition of the wiring, our electricians may recommend aluminum wiring repair, remediation, copper pigtailing, or full aluminum wiring replacement.
Aluminum Wiring Solutions
Three Levels of
Aluminum Wiring Service
From aluminum wiring inspection to copper pigtailing and full aluminum wiring replacement, we recommend the right solution based on your home’s condition, safety concerns, and insurance requirements.
Aluminum Wiring Inspection
A professional inspection of aluminum branch circuits, outlets, switches, panel terminations, and visible connection problems. We inspect panel and branch circuit terminations, identify overheating, oxidation, and loose connections, and review switches, outlets, and lighting circuits throughout your home.
Remediation & Copper Pigtailing
Aluminum wiring remediation corrects unsafe connection points using approved copper pigtailing and compatible devices. This includes copper pigtailing for accessible devices, correcting connections with approved connectors, and replacing aluminum-rated devices where needed.
Aluminum Wiring Replacement
Full aluminum wiring replacement may be recommended for damaged circuits, major renovations, or insurance requirements. Our team replaces aluminum branch circuits with copper, updates panel connections and affected devices, and handles cases involving major deterioration or renovation work.

Questions Homeowners Ask Most
Is aluminum wiring legal in Toronto and the GTA?
Yes. Aluminum wiring itself is legal in Ontario, but older aluminum branch circuits may require aluminum wiring remediation, copper pigtailing, or approved connection correction to meet modern safety expectations and insurance requirements.
When was aluminum wiring commonly used in homes?
Aluminum wiring was commonly installed in Canadian homes between the late 1960s and mid-1970s as an alternative to copper wiring.
Why is aluminum wiring considered a safety concern?
Problems usually develop at connection points. Oxidation, loose terminations, and incompatible devices can lead to overheating, arcing, flickering lights, or damaged connections over time.
What is aluminum wiring remediation and copper pigtailing?
Aluminum wiring remediation corrects unsafe connection points using approved methods such as copper pigtailing, aluminum-rated devices, and permanent connectors like AlumiConn.
Should I replace aluminum wiring in my home?
Not always. Many homes only require aluminum wiring repair or remediation. Full aluminum wiring replacement is usually recommended when circuits are heavily deteriorated or part of a major renovation.
