Copper Wire: The Right Choice For Your Property


If your home or business is wired with aluminum wiring — particularly if it is an older property — it may be time to consider getting it rewired with copper wiring or what is called an ‘aluminum to copper change over’. Aluminum wire poses a much greater fire threat and is less durable and conductive than copper. Once installed, copper wiring also requires much less maintenance than aluminum, which has a higher wear and tear rate. At Chesapeake Electric, our team of experienced electricians proudly performs aluminum to copper wire change over services for homes and business across Annapolis, MD. To have your wiring checked out, or to schedule a removal/installation, give our experts a call today!

Copper is the Only Way


Copper wire is not only cost-effective and energy-efficient — it’s also a safety necessity. When compared with older aluminum wire, copper wire is much less likely to fail to start an electrical fire. Recently, a national survey conducted by Franklin Research Institute for The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) determined that homes built before 1972, and wired with aluminum, are 55 times more likely to have wire connections at outlets reach “Fire Hazard Conditions” than homes wired with copper. For the safety of those on your property, copper wiring is a clear choice.

In addition to being safer than aluminum wiring, copper wiring also has greater resilience, higher durability, and higher performance than aluminum.

Solutions We Provide
If you have noticed any wire-related problems in your home, or would simply like to find out if you currently have aluminum wire, do not attempt to investigate your wiring yourself. This can lead to expensive damages and life-threatening injuries. Instead, contact a certified electrician to help you with your wiring needs. Our aluminum to copper change over implementation methods are:
  • Full Replacement Of Aluminum Cable
    Full rewiring is the generally recommended solution when it comes to aluminum to copper installation. A qualified electrician will inspect your house and give you recommendations on the ease of implementation to do a full copper rewire, and remove the aluminum wiring.
  • Implementing an AlumiConn Connector
    In some cases a house-wide rewire might not be practical based on an inspection of the house by a professional electrician, and in consultation with you. In that case, there is an alternative solution available using the AlumiConn Connector to ensure your house still follows the necessary safety regulations.

Our experience with this company has been excellent! We had an outlet in a bedroom start sparking and this company sent someone out immediately to assist. Christian came through and evaluated our home, noting aluminum wiring tied into the outlets which caused damage to that particular box and resulted in an electrical fire. Christian was very transparent and open about available packages and prices for services to replace our outlets and switches to a safe standard. Katie’s courtesy texts ahead of appointments were extremely helpful. Their office was also very understanding and flexible when it came to scheduling changes. In particular, electricians Terry and David made for an exceptional experience. They are were very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to our questions and concerns. They were transparent with the plans for our services and made sure we understood prior to starting each day. They noted any issues they came across during their work. They even educated us on our system, informed and showed us where there were signs of wear, and told us what to look for in the future to ensure our safety. We found their work ethic, communication, and workmanship to be impeccable. They were both timely with their work while giving our system its due attention. We highly recommend this company.

We had an outlet that was crackling and causing outages throughout our apartment, so we needed someone to come help us asap. Once we called Chesapeake Electric, Ethan and Casey were onsite within 2 hours. They both were incredibly friendly and helpful, and diagnosed the issue quickly. Ethan took the time to take me through my options and went out of his way to make sure I understood each one. When Ethan and Casey had to leave due to scheduling, Terry and David came through and were just as friendly and knowledgeable. They fixed my issue quickly, took the time to explain everything that they did/found, and Terry even pointed out an outlet in my bathroom that wasn't up to code and offered to add it to their scope. I had an incredible experience and could not recommend Chesapeake Electric's services more. We will absolutely use their services again and will be specifically requesting to work with Ethan, Casey, Terry, and David. Thank you!!!
