What to Do if You Cannot Find an Aluminum Wiring Repair Electrician in Your City or State

If you cannot find an electrician who you are certain knows the PROPER aluminum repair methods, (see ALUMINUM WIRING RISK REDUCTION) and one who will avoid other "repair" methods that are NOT RECOMMENDED, (see ALUMINUM WIRING REPAIR NOT-Recommended)

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.

Consumer warning: we recommend that you DO NOT hire electricians to peform aluminum wiring repair if the company is going to use the Ideal-65 "Twister" purple twist-on connector. See Ideal 65 Connector for Aluminum Wire Repair? for details. See ALUMINUM WIRING RISK REDUCTION for recommended aluminum wire repair methods. See ALUMINUM WIRING REPAIR NOT-Recommended for repair approaches that are NOT RECOMMENDED.

When you find a licensed electrician who is familiar with and who will use only the proper repair methods described at ALUMINUM WIRING RISK REDUCTION, you or your electrician are invited to add his/her companyto our listing above - there is no fee.

    • "Status Report - Evaluation of Residential Molded Case Circuit Breakers", Wright-Malta Corp., (For U.S. Consumer product Safety Commission, Project# CPSC-C-81-1455), August 10, 1982 (Contains analysis of mechanism of failure of FPE two-pole Stab-Lock breakers.)
    • "Failure Analysis of Residential Circuit Breaker Panel", Wright-Malta Corp., (For U.S. Consumer product Safety Commission, Project #CPSC-C-81-1455), May 20, 1982 (Contains failure analysis of FPE Stab-Lock panel that ignited due to failure of buss-bar interconnections in the backside of the panel.)
    • "Phase II Report, Evaluation of Residential Molded Case Circuit Breakers", Wright-Malta Corp., (For U.S. Consumer product Safety Commission, Project# CPSC-C-81-1455), March 10, 1984 (Contains experimental analysis of materials, construction, and performance of molded case circuit breakers, including FPE. Lack of corrosion resistance of certain internal parts is considered to be a factor in the failure of the circuit breakers.)
    • "Final Report: Calibration and Condition Tests of Molded Case Circuit Breakers," Wright-Malta Corp., (For U.S. Consumer product Safety Commission, Project #CPSC-C-81-1429), December 30, 1982 (Extensive calibration and functional testing of FPE breakers. Substantial percent failures to trip on overload.
