Dangers of Aluminum Wiring in the Home

6/3/2020

 
We recommend that aluminum wiring in the home be repaired because of the fire hazards that it may create. Contact our Licensed Home Inspectors to discuss these dangers and what improvements can be made to improve your home's wiring.

Between approximately 1965 and 1973, single-strand aluminum wiring was sometimes substituted for copper branch-circuit wiring in residential electrical systems because of the sudden escalating price of copper. After a decade of use by homeowners and electricians, inherent weaknesses were discovered in the metal that lead to its disuse as a branch wiring material. ​
