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.

Subject: Commendation for Exceptional Service – Chesapeake Electric and ServiceMaster Team

Dear Mr. Deshaies and CO.,

I am writing to formally express my family’s sincere gratitude for the exceptional service and support we received following the house fire at our home.

During an incredibly difficult and stressful time, Chesapeake Electric, under the ownership of Mr. Deshaies, provided outstanding service, professionalism, and dedication. I would especially like to recognize Head Master Electrician Matt for his extraordinary hard work, long and tedious hours, and the kindness and professionalism he consistently demonstrated throughout the process. His expertise, personal involvement, and willingness to go above and beyond were invaluable. In particular, we are deeply grateful for his assistance in ensuring the electrical work was completed properly, for helping us obtain the correct invoices, and for providing the explanations necessary to support our insurance claim. His continued support in addressing the full electrical panel replacement, house rewiring, and additional secondary damage related to environmental causes was truly exceptional.

I would also like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Deshaies and his team for the remarkable restoration services they provided. From the very beginning, Chesapeake Electric's prompt response, timely and flexible scheduling, and close attention to detail gave us reassurance during an emergency situation caused by a freak event of nature. They quickly arranged a comprehensive damage assessment, and their team worked diligently to restore our home.

Their efforts included bringing in expert electricians, thoroughly inspecting and diagnosing all issues and related systems, and conducting a meticulous top-to-bottom, floor-to-ceiling professional electrical home renovation service. They successfully removed the damaged items, cables, wires, and all pertinent necessities and went above and beyond to help ensure our home was safe and that quality newly installed and properly tested lines and equipment were restored for our family’s comfort and well-being.

Mr. Deshaies themself, the owner of the company came out and spent over 12 hours during the initial cause, diagnosis, assessment, and worked hand-in-hand, rolling up their sleeves to assist Matt and their other team members in everything electric. They personally went back to their warehouse to save time and pick up all necessary equipment, inventoried, and laid the foundation for a meticulous insurance quote and detailed invoicing to include all necessary before and after the damage pictures. They wrote a personal professional email to explain to the insurance company the gravity and necessity of the situation and all the work that was being completed to include the secondary issues arising from the fire, to ensure we were 100% covered and taken care of.

Both Chesapeake Electric CO., Mr. Deshaies and his team demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, compassion, and commitment during one of the most challenging times our family has faced. Their hard work and care made a tremendous difference, and we wanted to ensure their efforts were formally recognized and shared with leadership.

Please extend our deepest thanks and appreciation to everyone involved.

Sincerely,

Mr. Dvir Samet

Chesapeake Electric is the only company I will use when it comes to all of my electrical needs. This is based on Chesapeake’s reliability, integrity, fair pricing, honesty, and quality workmanship/performance of their techs. Today I want to take the time to acknowledge Gary Howe, Alec Vazquez and Dan Sarnf. It is people like them who keep Chesapeake Electric #1 on my list when it comes to all of my electrical needs. They worked extremely hard for three consecutive days, explaining everything they were doing along the way in layman terms for me to understand. They are truly an asset for your company and another reason why I always recommend Chesapeake to anyone having electrical needs. Also, a shout out to Casey Wumer who did my yearly inspection as well as giving me a thorough and honest recommendation for what needed to be done. And let us not forget Jackie back in the office who handles every call with respect and class. All of these people mentioned are truly assets to your company.
