Copper Tailing
Keeping your home’s wiring safe for peace of mind
Copper Tailing for Aluminum Wiring
Do you have an older home in Ottawa? Whether you live in the Glebe, Centretown, Rockcliffe Park, Vanier, Westboro or elsewhere in Ottawa, many older homes have aluminium wiring. Today’s wiring standard, of course, is copper wiring. But copper is expensive, and a complete copper wiring overhaul of your older Ottawa home could get pretty pricey. But that doesn’t mean you have to stay with an outdated, subpar or even potentially unsafe alumnimum wiring system as it is. There is an alternative, one that is more cost-effective and still safe for peace of mind.
Pigtailing is the electrician’s term for adding copper wiring, wherein we add short strips of copper wiring to the ends of your home’s existing aluminum wiring. This is a safe method that helps prevent aluminum wiring from failing, overheating and/or causing fire.

Pigtailing Aluminum Wiring for Peace of Mind
Why choose pigtailing over total replacement with copper wire? In a nutshell, it’s a cost-effective alternative. If you are concerned about safety, rest assured that pigtailing with copper wire bits adhered to the existing aluminum wire is an approved method that has proven to be safe and effective. Copper wiring can be prohibitively expensive for a homeowner to replace fully on an existing aluminum wiring. But pigtailing is a happy medium, giving you the advantage of copper wire’s durability and peace of mind without the cost of a full wiring replacement.
As master electricians serving Ottawa homeowners and property managers for over a decade, we have performed copper wire pigtailing on a number of older homes in Ottawa. If you have a house that was built in the 1970s, 1960s or earlier with aluminium wiring, talk to Lumos today about the benefits of copper wiring pigtailing.
