Testimonials

“I have a degree in electrical engineering and I’m an avid and competent do-it-yourself-er, so when I came up with this problem, I knew I had to do something. The AlumiConn was a quality engineered product and I thought, “That is a permanent solution. And beyond that, it’s easy to install, it’s small enough that all the connectors will fit inside the junction box I’ll be using. And I had a very comfortable feeling being a rental owner and being liable for my renters safety that it took something like this AlumiConn to satisfy that, and they did. It’s just great!”

“I just wanted to give you guys some feedback about your product. My wife and I had a townhouse that had aluminum wiring. I bought some of the purple wire nuts from Lowes and started pigtailing the connections. But, I wasn’t happy with the connections, so I started researching online and came across your product. I received one of your free samples and was impressed, so I ordered enough to do the entire house. Every connection was secure and it went quickly. The Alumicons look so much neater and more professional than the alternative.

We listed the townhouse and actually have a contract on it now. When the buyer submitted the first offer, they wanted us to convert all the wiring to copper. I told them that all the connections had been pigtailed and referred them to your website.

We had the inspection on 3/11/09 and the inspector commented in his report that the pigtails looked good. I’m convinced that this was one of the selling points of the house.

Thanks for a great product and saving me a lot of time and money! If I ever run into aluminum wiring again, I know what to use to correct the problem.”

“The AlumiConn lug offers a permanent solution to the problems encountered when repairing electrical installation of solid aluminum conductors.I consider this method superior to anything currently available and its use will greatly enhance the safety of repairs made to aluminum branch circuit wiring.”

The following is from DoItYourself.com…

“The other alternative consists of two products that can help reduce the inherent risks. Experts’ advice use of either COPALUM or Alumiconn devices to mitigate the risk. COPALUM is a device that cold-welds the termination points of these two metals. However, COPALUM is not very popular due to the costs and inconvenience involved in its use. Regulations require that you use a certified repairman to do the job. Such repairmen are not easy to find.

On the other hand, Alumiconn is easier to install. Alumiconn, which stands for Aluminum-to-Copper connectors, contains a unique lug design that enables it to separate aluminum and copper wires in a safe and inexpensive manner.”

“Your product is a godsend……it helps control a potential fire hazard caused by inadequate or cheap aluminum wiring that was initially installed when our condo’s were built. My personal preference is try my best to be as safe as possible rather than sorry.”

“I used the alternate torque method you suggested (counting 1/2 or full turn of the set screw after initial wire/screw contact) and found it worked well also. I am passing the word around here about the product to local electrical suppliers that I know.

I believe Alumiconns are the logical cost effective alternative to Copalum and better than AL/CU rated wire nuts as it maintains a physical separation between the copper and aluminum conductors.

I really think these AlumiConn connectors may do quite well and I am hoping so. Thanks for all the help and correspondence you gave me throughout my issue!”
