Aluminum branch circuit wiring was widely used in homes built between 1965 and 1973 as a cheaper alternative to copper. Unfortunately, aluminum wiring has properties that make it a fire hazard: it expands and contracts more than copper with temperature changes, causing connections to loosen over time; it oxidizes when exposed to air, creating increased resistance at connection points; and it’s softer than copper, making it more prone to damage during installation.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), homes with aluminum wiring are 55 times more likely to have fire-hazard conditions at outlets and switches than homes wired with copper. For Westlake Village homeowners with aluminum wiring, there are two main remediation approaches: COPALUM crimp connectors — A permanent repair that uses a special tool to create a cold-weld connection between aluminum and copper pigtails. This is the CPSC-recommended method. AlumiConn connectors — An approved alternative that uses set-screw connectors to join aluminum to copper pigtails at every outlet, switch, and junction point. Both methods are far less expensive than complete rewiring while effectively eliminating the fire risk.
Complete or partial rewiring is one of the most important investments you can make in an older Westlake Village home. Electrical wiring has a finite lifespan — typically 40-70 years depending on the wire type and conditions. Homes built before 1970 may have wiring insulation that has become brittle and cracked, knob-and-tube wiring that’s a fire hazard when covered by insulation, or aluminum branch circuit wiring that’s prone to loose connections and overheating. Any of these conditions significantly increases fire risk.
Signs your Westlake Village home may need rewiring include: frequently tripping breakers, flickering or dimming lights, discolored or warm outlets and switches, a persistent burning smell, two-prong outlets throughout the home, an inability to run multiple appliances without tripping circuits, and insurance companies refusing coverage or charging higher premiums due to wiring age. A professional inspection from Armo Electric USA can determine the condition of your wiring and whether partial or full rewiring is recommended.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that electrical failures cause an average of 46,700 home fires per year in the US, resulting in 390 deaths and $1.5 billion in property damage. Homes with outdated wiring — knob-and-tube, aluminum branch circuits, or cloth-insulated conductors — are significantly more likely to experience these fires. Many homes in the area have aging electrical systems that benefit from professional inspection and upgrading
For Westlake Village homeowners, the cost of rewiring is a fraction of the cost of fire damage — not to mention the irreplaceable value of protecting your family. Rewiring also dramatically improves your home’s functionality (more circuits, grounded outlets, proper GFCI/AFCI protection) and increases its market value. If you’re planning to sell your Westlake Village home, addressing known wiring issues before listing eliminates a major negotiation point and keeps your sale on track.

Many insurance companies in California charge higher premiums or decline coverage entirely for homes with knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. Rewiring your Westlake Village home often results in lower insurance premiums that help offset the cost of the work over time. Some insurers require a rewire before they'll issue a policy.
Look at the wiring visible in your panel, attic, or basement. Aluminum wire has a silver appearance (vs. copper's orange/brown). You may also see "AL" or "Aluminum" printed on the cable jacket. Homes built between 1965-1973 are most likely to have aluminum branch circuit wiring. If you're unsure, our electricians can identify it during a free inspection.
Yes — modern rewiring techniques use attic and crawl space access, fish tapes, and strategic small openings to route new wiring with far less drywall damage than in the past. While some access holes are inevitable, they're small and we patch them after the work is complete.
A complete rewire of a typical 3-bedroom Westlake Village home takes 5-7 days. The work involves removing old wiring, running new copper circuits through walls and ceilings, installing a new panel, and connecting all outlets, switches, and fixtures. We minimize wall openings and patch all access points.
Yes. If only certain circuits have problematic wiring (e.g., knob-and-tube in the attic but modern wiring elsewhere), we can replace just the affected circuits. For aluminum wiring, remediation with COPALUM or AlumiConn connectors at every connection point is often more practical than complete rewiring.
Rewiring a home in Westlake Village is a significant undertaking that requires precision, expertise, and careful planning to ensure the safety and efficiency of your electrical system.
Westlake Village’s distinct neighborhoods each have unique electrical infrastructure characteristics that our rewiring services address. For the larger, often older homes in North Ranch, complete rewiring is frequently necessary to accommodate the high electrical demands of modern amenities like home theaters, extensive smart home systems, and multi-zone HVAC units, while ensuring safety and efficiency. Residences on Westlake Island, particularly those built decades ago, may benefit from rewiring to enhance power capacity for luxury kitchens and baths, and to ensure wiring is protected from the humid, potentially corrosive environment near the lake. In the established Lakeshore area, our rewiring services focus on replacing outdated or deteriorating wiring, such as old cloth-covered wiring or aluminum branch circuits, to prevent fire hazards and improve overall electrical system reliability for continued enjoyment of these homes.
