Frequently Asked Questions
Aluminum wiring itself isn’t the problem; the connections are. Because aluminum expands and contracts with heat more than copper, it tends to wiggle loose from screws over time. Combined with oxidation, this creates resistance and heat, which can lead to arcing or fire. Warning signs include flickering lights, warm faceplates, buzzing sounds, or a “fishy” smell near outlets—but even without symptoms, untreated connections are a silent risk.
If your house is over 40–50 years old and you’re experiencing frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, hot outlets, or burning smells, you may need to consider a full rewire. This is especially important if you’re adding modern, high-demand appliances or doing major renovations. While a full rewire isn’t always necessary, it’s crucial for safety, efficiency, and code compliance. A professional electrical inspection can help determine whether partial upgrades or a complete overhaul are needed.
Remediation This is often the preferred route for newer homes or when specific components like aluminum wiring need “pig-tailing” to make them safe without replacing the whole wire. It is significantly cheaper but may not solve underlying issues in systems like knob-and-tube. Rewiring is charged per square foot. However, we recommend that you get an electrician with a professional license to provide a quote. They will offer the best products at the best price.

Indeed, households equipped with aluminum wiring, particularly those constructed during the mid-1960s to late 1970s, face higher insurance premiums and limited options for insurers. This is because aluminum wiring is considered a high-risk factor, being 55 times more likely to reach fire hazard conditions compared to copper wiring.
