What Drives the Cost

What Sets the Price

These six things decide the size of the job.

Number of Connections

Every outlet, switch, ceiling light and attic junction box counts. The number of connections sets the price.

House Size

A larger house has more boxes, so it costs more.

Attic Access

Junction boxes in a hard-to-reach attic add time.

Pigtail or Rewire

Pigtailing costs a fraction of a rewire and does not open walls. A rewire removes the aluminum entirely.

Connector Type

Most insurers accept AlumiConn or COPALUM connectors. A few specify COPALUM only, so tell us your carrier before we quote.

Whole House or Phased

The whole house is the safe goal. If the work is phased, warm, flickering or scorched spots come first.

FAQ

Common Questions

The number of connections sets the price. Every outlet, switch, ceiling light and attic junction box counts, so a larger house costs more, and a hard-to-reach attic adds time. You get the exact price for the whole house before any work starts.

Yes. Pigtailing with AlumiConn or COPALUM connectors is recognized by the Consumer Product Safety Commission as a permanent repair, costs a fraction of a rewire, and does not open walls. A full rewire is the only way to remove the aluminum entirely. We quote both when asked.

A whole-house repair is the safe goal, because the risk sits at every connection, not only the ones acting up. If you need to phase the work, start with any warm, flickering or scorched spots.

No. Purple wire nuts are twist-on connectors, and testing by the Consumer Product Safety Commission found many of them overheated badly on aluminum wire. A lasting repair uses AlumiConn or COPALUM connectors.

Most carriers accept a documented AlumiConn or COPALUM repair with the permit and inspection record. A few specify COPALUM only. Tell us which carrier and we check before we quote.

Yes. Aluminum wiring repair is permitted electrical work in Washington, and it is inspected. The inspection record is also what your insurer wants to see.
