COPALUM:

Superior Electrical is a TYCO AMP Certified installer and will provide safe and effective repairs using the COPALUM crimp connector system.

It is estimated that 2 million homes were built with aluminum wire between 1965 and 1973.

Warning signs, such as warm-to-the-touch face plates on outlets or switches, flickering lights, circuits that don't work, or the smell of burning plastics, can indicate a fire hazard within 15- and 20-ampere aluminum wiring circuits. A failure in the circuits can lead to electrical arcing and a serious fire, which can spread within the walls of a home before being detected.

Only a Tyco AMP certified installer is qualified to make COPALUM repairs and is endorsed by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission.
