Flickering lights and warm wall plates in a Sherman Oaks home are a classic sign of aluminum wiring reaching the end of its safe life, especially in the Valley’s 1960s-70s housing stock. This page covers how we diagnose and fix it.
Signs of Aluminum Wiring Problems
Flickering or Dimming Lights
Often caused by loose connections at aluminum-to-copper junctions.
Warm Wall Plates or Outlets
A sign of resistance heating at a failing connection, a real fire risk.
Built Between 1965 and 1973
The era when aluminum branch-circuit wiring was most common in Valley homes.
Why Aluminum Wiring Fails at Connections
Aluminum wiring itself isn’t inherently dangerous, but it expands and contracts differently than copper, and can gradually loosen at outlets, switches, and junctions. That loosening causes resistance heating, which is what leads to warm plates, flickering, and in worse cases, fire risk.
Our AlumiConn Repair Process
We identify every aluminum-to-copper connection point throughout the home. We install copper pigtails at each device location using AlumiConn connectors, rated specifically for aluminum-to-copper transitions. We test every repaired connection before closing up, and provide documentation of the completed remediation for your records.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is aluminum wiring always dangerous?
Not by itself, but the connections where it meets copper devices can loosen over time and create a real fire risk if left unaddressed.
Do you replace all the wiring or just the connections?
In most cases we remediate at the connection points with copper pigtails and AlumiConn connectors, rather than a full rewire, which keeps cost and disruption down while resolving the actual risk.
How do I know if my Sherman Oaks home has aluminum wiring?
Homes built between roughly 1965 and 1973 are the most likely candidates; we can inspect and confirm during your free estimate.
