Most companies that sell aluminum wiring remediation start with a sales pitch. We start with an inspection.
That is the difference, and it matters more than most homeowners realize... The honest answer to "do I need a full rewire" is "we will know after the inspection."
Lincolnton Solar Electric Services performs that inspection in Hurst, TX, presents the documented findings, and remediates to the scope the findings justify — not the scope that maximizes the invoice.
Electrical Safety Inspection for Older Homes
A proper aluminum wiring inspection in Hurst takes between two and four hours.
What the Inspection Includes
