Long Island’s older homes are electrically complex in ways specific to this market. The building boom of the 1950s and 1960s produced hundreds of thousands of homes wired for a different era, with aluminum branch circuit wiring common from the mid-1960s through the early 1970s, knob-and-tube wiring still present in older sections, and undersized circuits and double-tapped breakers as routine findings.
Our licensed master electricians have been working in these homes for decades. They know what to expect when the cover plates come off, and they know how to address each condition correctly and to current code.

Questions?
Outlet and Switch Work
Outlets and switches are the points where the wiring meets the rest of the home, and they are also the most visible signs of a larger wiring concern when they fail.
Universe installs and services outlets and switches across Long Island, Rockland County & Bergen County. We can help with:
Adding outlets to a room that does not have enough, installing outlets in an outdoor space, or running a new outlet for a specific appliance requires a licensed electrician to pull the circuit from the panel and terminate the device to code.
Modern code requires GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations, and AFCI protection on most branch circuits serving living spaces. We install and replace these devices so the home meets current safety requirements, especially during renovations when the work triggers code updates.
Replacing a failed switch, upgrading to a dimmer, or installing smart home-compatible switches all require correct termination and circuit compatibility. We handle the work and confirm the device is operating safely, including checking the neutral that many smart switches require.
Smart outlets, dedicated circuits for home office equipment, and specialty device wiring all require attention to load, circuit dedication, and device rating. We match the install to the equipment and the code requirements, not to whatever outlet is closest.

Aluminum Wiring Remediation
Homes built between approximately 1965 and 1973 across Long Island, Rockland County & Bergen County commonly have aluminum branch circuit wiring. Aluminum wiring connected to standard copper-rated devices is a documented fire risk.
Universe performs aluminum wiring remediation across Long Island, Rockland County & Bergen County using approved methods and CO/ALR-rated devices.
Aluminum wiring itself is not inherently dangerous. The problem is at the connection points, including outlets, switches, fixtures, and panel terminations, where aluminum expands and contracts differently than copper, causing connections to loosen over time and creating heat at the device.
The code-compliant solution for aluminum-wired circuits is either full replacement with copper or replacement of all devices with CO/ALR-rated devices designed for aluminum terminations. We evaluate which approach makes sense for your home and perform the work to current code.
A home sale or refinance that surfaces an aluminum wiring flag usually requires documented remediation before closing. We perform the work and provide the documentation needed to satisfy the lender, buyer, or insurance carrier.
Discoloration, warmth, or loose connections at outlets and switches in an aluminum-wired home are the specific failure modes the remediation is designed to address. We identify affected devices, remediate the connections, and complete the work to code.

Electrical Wiring FAQs
How do I know if my home has aluminum branch circuit wiring?
Homes built between approximately 1965 and 1973 in Long Island, Rockland County & Bergen County are the most likely candidates. A licensed electrician can identify aluminum branch circuit wiring during an assessment. The wire jacket is typically marked AL or aluminum, and the wire itself is silver-colored rather than copper-colored, but confirmation of actual aluminum use usually requires removing a few cover plates and checking the devices.
Is aluminum wiring in my home dangerous?
Aluminum wiring that is properly connected to CO/ALR-rated devices and correctly terminated at the panel is considered safe. The risk is at the connection points where aluminum and copper-rated devices meet, where the connection can loosen over time and create heat. That is where remediation is targeted.
What is the difference between wiring repair and full rewiring?
Wiring repair addresses a specific problem: a damaged section, a failed connection, a circuit that has lost continuity. Full rewiring replaces all branch circuit wiring throughout the home and is typically done only when the existing wiring is unsafe throughout, not just in specific locations. Most older Long Island, Rockland County & Bergen County homes are candidates for targeted repair, not full rewiring, when assessed honestly.
Does wiring work in my home require a permit?
New circuits, panel work, and significant wiring modifications require a permit in Long Island, Rockland County & Bergen County. Device replacements such as outlets, switches, and fixtures generally do not. We pull permits for all work that legally requires one and coordinate the inspection so the job is on record.
