Aluminium Wiring Repair & Replacement In Calgary
The Dangers of Aluminum Wiring?
Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often contain aluminum wiring — a material that can become unsafe as it ages. Aluminum expands, contracts, and loosens at connection points far more than copper. Over time, this can lead to overheating, flickering lights, damaged devices, or, in the worst cases, electrical fires.
Because of these risks, aluminum wiring needs proper inspection and professional repair. It is not a DIY fix; incorrect work can void insurance, create hazards, and fail city inspections.

How We Repair Aluminum Wiring:
Two Safe, Proven Options
Aluminum wiring can be made safe — but only when repaired or replaced properly. At Emerald Electric, we offer two code-compliant solutions depending on your home’s condition, access points, and insurance requirements. Both options are completed by licensed Calgary electricians and backed by our 2-year parts and labour warranty.
Option 1: Aluminum Wiring Remediation (Safe Repair)
A practical, cost-effective way to improve safety without replacing all the wiring in your home.
We reinforce every accessible connection point using approved aluminum-to-copper connectors, copper-rated devices, and anti-oxidant compound. This stabilizes old wiring, reduces heat buildup, and restores safe operation. We also clean and repair any visible damage or corrosion.
Why homeowners choose remediation:
Enhanced safety with minimal disruption
No major wall repairs needed
More affordable and quicker than full rewiring
Often meets insurance requirements
Reduces risks like overheating, loose connections, and oxidation
Remediation is an excellent choice when your wiring is in generally good condition but needs safer, modern connection points.
Option 2: Full Copper Rewiring
For homeowners seeking complete peace of mind and long-term reliability, full copper replacement is the gold standard.
We remove all accessible aluminum circuits and replace them with new copper wiring that meets today’s electrical demands.
Benefits of full copper replacement:
Eliminates aluminum wiring hazards entirely
Best long-term safety and performance
Supports high-demand additions like EV chargers, hot tubs, and workshops
Fewer limitations for renovations or future electrical upgrades
Ideal during remodels or open-wall projects
If you’re updating your home or planning major renovations, full replacement is often the smartest investment.
