Why Aluminum Wiring Is a Problem

Aluminum expands more than copper. Over time, this movement can loosen connections. Loose wires cause heat. Heat causes fires. That’s the risk.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, homes with aluminum wiring are 55 times more likely to have fire hazard conditions at connections than those with copper wiring.

Signs You Might Have Aluminum Wiring
