Safe, Permanent Aluminum Wiring Repairs
The COPALUM Crimp Method — Done Right. Done Once.
Aluminum wiring was common in homes built between the mid-60s and mid-70s. But over time, those connections can become unsafe — especially at outlets, switches, and light fixtures. That’s where the COPALUM Crimp Method comes in.
It’s the only permanent repair recognized by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) — and it’s the method we trust.
Why Choose COPALUM Crimping?
We show up. We do it right. Here’s what makes this solution different:
- Each aluminum connection is safely “pigtailed” to copper using a specially designed metal sleeve.
- Zero maintenance down the line — these connections are built to last.
- No special outlets or switches needed — we replace them all with standard, brand-new ones.
- Approved and recommended by the CPSC — no guesswork, no shortcuts.
How It Works
This isn’t a patch job. It’s a cold-welded connection done with precision.
- We attach a short piece of copper wire to your home’s aluminum branch wiring.
- The connection is made with a COPALUM parallel splice connector — built by AMP (a division of TYCO).
- A specialized powered crimp tool is used to permanently compress the connector.
- This process breaks down oxidation and seals the wire from further damage — no oxide paste or abrasion needed.
- The crimp is finished with a durable insulating sleeve.
In short: it’s solid, sealed, and built to last.
What Makes This Method Trusted?
- Endorsed by the U.S. CPSC as the only permanent aluminum wiring fix
- Used by independent safety experts and electricians across the country
- Requires certified training and leased tools only available to licensed pros
