Built between the mid-1960s and late 1970s? There is a high chance your home has aluminum branch wiring. Over time, aluminum wire expands and contracts, loosens at screw terminals, and oxidizesโcreating silent arcing hazards behind finished walls.
At Evolve Electrical Services, our Master Electricians provide targeted mitigation and certified rewiring across Calgary to keep your home safe and insurance-compliant.
โ ๏ธ Common Warning Signs:
๐ Warm or Discolored Plates: Switches or outlets that feel hot or show brown scorch marks.
๐ก Flickering Lights: Persistent dimming or cutouts on stable circuits.
๐ Burning Smells: Unexplained hot plastic or fishy odors near receptacles.
