About This Service
What Is Aluminum Wiring Replacement?
A significant share of Westminster homes built between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s used aluminum branch circuit wiring, a common cost-saving practice at the time that is now recognized as a fire risk due to loosening connections at outlets and switches. Homeowners near Little Saigon and the Bolsa Avenue corridor with original wiring often discover this during an inspection or insurance review. Replacement involves removing aluminum runs and installing copper wiring throughout affected circuits. This work requires a permit from the City of Westminster Building Division, coordination with Southern California Edison for any service disconnects, and must be completed by a California C-10 licensed electrician.
