Aluminum wiring repair in Longwood, FL
Sweetwater Oaks and Wekiva are exactly the right vintage for aluminum branch wiring, and they are also where we find the most 1970s panels worth replacing on sight.
Remediation at every device — the approach most carriers accept — is far cheaper than a full rewire. The range depends on device count, not square footage. We count them at the estimate.
Four things that are only true in Longwood.
If you could swap the city name out of this page and it would still be accurate, it should not exist. Here is what actually changes here.
Two problems in the same house
The homes with aluminum branch wiring out here often have a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel as well. Fixing the terminations and leaving that panel is half a job — we will show you what is in yours.
Well pumps change the priority
A lot of Longwood is on wells. A loose aluminum termination on the pump circuit does not just flicker a light, it costs you water. Those circuits get looked at first.
Longwood or Seminole County
City of Longwood Building Division inside the limits, Seminole County outside. Duke Energy serves both. We file to the right one so it does not sit in a queue for a week.
Historic Longwood is different
The older core predates aluminum entirely — there you are looking at cloth wiring instead. We check which you actually have before quoting either.
Real numbers before you call.
Same ranges we publish everywhere, because the work does not cost more just because of the zip code. You get an exact number at the free estimate.
How it goes
Grant and Jason cover Seminole County. You will have a name and a text before anyone is at your door.
Real reviews, word for word.
"Grant wired our new kitchen project. We have used him two other times and plan on using him with our next project."
"…In Phaze sent 3 people for the job, which they completed in 1 day, even vacuuming up afterwards."
"After getting the run around from other electricians I came across In Phase. Wish I found them first."
"Unlike some of their competitors, they don't try to up-sell products that aren't strictly necessary."
Straight answers.
Is aluminum wiring actually dangerous?
The wire itself is not the problem. Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper, so terminations loosen over decades and loose terminations overheat. Fix the connections properly and the risk drops dramatically.
Do I have to rewire the whole house?
Usually no. Remediation at every device is the standard fix and costs a fraction of a rewire. We lead with that answer because it is the honest one.
Will this satisfy my insurance company?
Most Florida carriers accept documented remediation with listed connectors. We give you photos and a written summary. Confirm the specific requirement with your agent first — they vary.
How do I know if I have it?
Pull a receptacle cover and look, or have us do it during a free estimate. The wire is silver rather than copper-colored and often stamped AL.
How long does remediation take?
One to two days for most homes, depending on device count. You keep power in most of the house most of the time.
Can you do it during a real estate closing?
Regularly. Tell us the deadline up front and we will tell you honestly whether we can hit it.
