Whole-home electrical rewiring isn't just about aluminum. Many older Thornton homes also have outdated electrical panels, two-prong outlets, and not enough circuits for modern life. Think about it: homes built in the 1960s weren't designed for flat-screen TVs, computers, and all the gadgets we use today.
A whole-home rewire brings your entire electrical system up to current code. This means a new panel, proper grounding, and enough outlets so you don't need power strips everywhere. This upgrade also allows you to add new tech into the home, such as EV chargers. It's an investment that adds value to your home and keeps your family safe.
Here are the most common signs: flickering lights, outlets that feel warm, a burning smell near outlets or switches, discolored outlet covers, and circuit breakers that trip often.
If your home was built between the mid-1960s and early 1970s, you probably have aluminum wiring. Not sure? We offer free inspections to Thornton homeowners. We'll check your wiring and give you a clear answer.
We're not a big national company. We're local electricians who even grew up in this community. We shop at the same stores you do. When you call us, you talk to someone who knows Thornton.
We've worked on homes all across the city, from the older neighborhoods near downtown Denver to newer developments by Riverdale Regional Park. Each home has its own story and its own electrical challenges. That local knowledge matters when it comes to aluminum wiring replacement in Denver, CO.
We're licensed, insured, and we stand behind our work with a full warranty. Our prices are fair and we always explain what we're doing and why.
Aluminum wiring is common in Denver homes built between roughly 1965 and 1973, when copper prices pushed builders across neighborhoods like Aurora, Lakewood, and Littleton to run single-strand aluminum branch circuits.
The problem is that aluminum expands, contracts, and oxidizes more than copper, which loosens connections at outlets, switches, and breaker terminations over time and creates hot spots that raise the risk of arcing and fire. Many Denver homeowners only discover it during an insurance inspection or a home sale, since some carriers now require remediation before they will write or renew a policy.
Proven fixes include installing COPALUM crimp connectors or AlumiConn lugs at every device, or a full rewire to copper for older homes with widespread issues. A licensed Denver electrician like Ace Electric should evaluate the panel, device connections, and circuit load before recommending which approach fits the home and budget.
How do I know if my Denver home has aluminum wiring?
Most homes in Denver built between 1965 and 1973 have aluminum wiring. You can check by looking at the wires coming into your electrical panel. Aluminum wires are silver-colored, while copper wires are orange or brown. If you're not comfortable checking yourself, we'll identify your wiring type during a free inspection.
How long does aluminum wiring replacement take?
For pigtailing repairs, most homes take one to two days. A full whole-home rewire typically takes two to four days depending on the size of your house and how accessible the wiring is. We work room by room to minimize disruption.
Do I need a permit for aluminum wiring replacement?
Yes. Electrical work in Denver requires permits and inspections. We handle all the permit paperwork and schedule the city inspection. Every job we complete passes inspection and meets current Thorton electrical codes.
