The Wiring Behind the Walls of Many Older Homes
If your home was built between roughly 1965 and 1975, there is a real chance it has aluminum branch wiring. Aluminum expands, contracts, and corrodes differently than copper, so over the years the connections at outlets, switches, and the panel work loose and overheat. That is why aluminum wiring is tied to a higher fire risk and why many insurers ask about it. The warning signs are subtle: warm outlet covers, flickering lights, a faint burning smell, or breakers that trip for no clear reason. By the time you notice, the connections have usually been degrading for years. The fix is straightforward when a licensed electrician handles it correctly.
Our Aluminum Wiring Process
Step one | nspect and confirm
We verify whether you have aluminum branch wiring, check the connections at outlets, switches, and the panel, and find the trouble spots.
Step two | Remediate or replace
Depending on the home, we either remediate every connection with approved connectors made for aluminum-to-copper, or replace the aluminum runs with copper where that is the better path.
Step three | Test and document
We confirm every corrected connection is tight and safe, then document the work, which is often what your insurer wants to see.
You get a home that is safe to live in and upfront pricing before any work starts.

Half Moon Plumbing & Electric inspects, remediates, and replaces aluminum wiring for homeowners across Tulsa, Owasso, Broken Arrow, and the surrounding metro. Many homes built between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s were wired with aluminum branch circuits, and the way aluminum behaves over time, expanding, contracting, and corroding at the connections, makes those connections prone to loosening and overheating. That is why aluminum branch wiring carries a recognized fire risk and why many home insurers ask about it before writing or renewing a policy. Common warning signs include warm or discolored outlet and switch covers, flickering lights, a faint burning smell, and breakers that trip without an obvious reason. Our licensed Tulsa electricians confirm whether your home has aluminum wiring, inspect the connections at every outlet, switch, and the panel, and recommend the right fix. In many homes that means remediating each connection with connectors specifically listed for aluminum-to-copper splices, the method recognized as a permanent repair. In others, replacing the aluminum runs with copper is the better long-term solution, and we will give you an honest comparison of cost and benefit for both. We document the completed work, which is often exactly what an insurer wants to see. Because the repair depends on using approved methods at every connection, it is work for a licensed electrical contractor, not a partial do-it-yourself fix. Half Moon has kept Tulsa-area homes safe since 2007 with transparent upfront pricing and a satisfaction guarantee. To inspect or replace aluminum wiring in Tulsa or anywhere in the metro, call us anytime or book online.
Common Questions
Aluminum Wiring FAQ
-
Homes built between about 1965 and 1975 are the most likely candidates. The wiring is sometimes labeled "AL" on the cable jacket or visible at the panel, but the reliable way to know is an electrician's inspection.
-
The wire itself is not the danger, the connections are. Aluminum loosens and corrodes over time, and a loose connection overheats. That is the recognized fire risk, and it is why the connections need correcting.
-
Often it can be remediated by correcting every connection with approved connectors, which is recognized as a permanent fix. Full copper replacement is sometimes the better choice. We assess your home and give you both options honestly.
-
Frequently, yes. Many insurers ask about aluminum wiring and want proof of proper remediation. We document the work so you have records to provide.
-
Connection remediation is usually done with minimal disruption, working at outlets, switches, and the panel. Full replacement is more involved. We give you a clear scope and timeline with the quote.
