Aluminum Wire Upgrades

Aluminum wiring, all though not used in branch circuit’s anymore, was once considered a safe and inexpensive alternative to copper. Copper wiring is really the wiring of choice because aluminum wire tends to become defective much more rapidly than copper. In fact, if left neglected, a serious fire hazard could be lurking in outlets, light switches, or fixtures, as the electrical connections cause overheating in the wiring.
