Situations That Call for Residential Rewiring

Rewiring a home isn't an arbitrary expense — it's a response to real situations that compromise the safety and insurability of a property. Several warning signs indicate that action is needed.

Why Aluminum Wiring Is a Problem

Aluminum wiring, common in construction from the 1960s to 1980s, expands more than copper under heat, causing connections to loosen over time. These resistance points generate heat and are a direct cause of residential fires.

In Blainville as throughout Montreal, insurers often require an upgrade to code before granting coverage on such a property.
