Older homes in Gulf Shores and Baldwin County often have aluminum wiring, knob and tube wiring, or undersized circuits that are no longer safe or code-compliant. Gulf Shores Electrical performs complete whole home rewires with minimal disruption to your walls and ceilings.
Many Gulf Shores and Orange Beach homes built between 1965 and 1975 were wired with aluminum instead of copper. Aluminum wiring was common during that era due to copper shortages, but it expands and contracts more than copper, loosening connections over time and creating fire hazards at outlets, switches, and junction boxes. Insurance companies often require aluminum wiring to be remediated before issuing or renewing a homeowner's policy.
Salt air compounds the problem. Coastal humidity accelerates oxidation on aluminum connections, increasing resistance and heat at every connection point. Homes near the water that have not had their wiring inspected in the past 10 years should be evaluated by a licensed electrician.
Gulf Shores Electrical handles full aluminum wiring replacement, installing new copper wiring throughout the home. We also handle knob and tube wiring removal, panel upgrades, and AFCI and GFCI protection installation as part of a complete rewire.
All rewires are permitted and inspected by Baldwin County.
