Description of Work: Ameliorated fire hazard risk from aluminum wiring according to CPSC standards. | |Used ALUMICOM (sp?) process. It is much cheaper than COPALUM, which would have been almost $12,000. | |The only place the CPSC online site tells you that ALUMICOM is fine to use rather than COPALUM, is a single letter in its files. The letter's intent (from 2011) has not been worked into the regs. | |If we hadn't researched this, the one company who still does COPALUM in our area, did not even broach the subject of the much cheaper fix. | |The company who does COPALUM in our area has a monopoly, giving them an appearance of conflict of interest.

it didn't go!
Description of Work: the repairman came quickly, told us that what we wanted was easy then we never heard from him again. I kept calling the company & they finally got us a cost estimate from the repairman - the cost was so costly it was ridiculous. AND this was for an easy job , i can't imagine what it would cost if it were difficult!
