What to Do if You Cannot Find an Aluminum Wiring Repair Electrician in Your City or State
then the next best is to call local electricians until you find someone who is willing to read-up, become informed, and use the current best practices for repair of aluminum electrical wiring.
Often you can encourage a younger, newer electrician to become informed and if necessary to license the COPALUM crimping tool from Tyco Corp. with the recognition that almost certainly your building is not the only one in his/her market area that needs aluminum wiring repairs.
When you find a licensed electrician who is familiar with and who will use only the proper repair methods described at HOW TO REDUCE THE RISK of ALUMINUM WIRING, you or your electrician are invited to add his/her company to our listing above - there is no fee.
