My house is wired with aluminum wire. Would you recommend rewiring the home with copper wire?

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: Because of the age of the wire, we recommend replacing all aluminum to copper to ensure proper connections and longer protection of your home.

Answer: Always
Explanation: If you're home, it's widely luminous and wire, you want to get that out as soon as you can as it overheats and melts like an aluminum Pan. I want to get hot and stay hot and stays hot for a long period time to heat takes a long time to dissipate

Answer: In some cases
Explanation: Depending on the home's size, age and ease of access to old wiring.

Answer: In some cases
Explanation: There are other methods of remediating the problem instead of rewiring the entire house

Answer: In some cases
Explanation: This is a topic of much debate. Depending on what type of aluminum is used, there is nothing inherently unsafe about it. But every connection and wire nut needs to be inspected and potentially redone with considerably more expensive materials. Sometimes the price difference is relatively small to rewire.

Answer: In some cases
Explanation: old of house and condition of wire

Answer: In some cases
Explanation: Dependent upon expense but at least replace switches and receptacles due to the contraction and expansion of the wire due to heating and cooling which can loosen connections over time and cause arcing faults

Answer: Always
Explanation: electricity causes wiring to expand and contract this happens more with aluminum and can cause fires

Answer: In some cases
Explanation: Unless you are experiencing issues with your electrical system, there is no need to change from aluminum to copper wiring. If the aluminum wiring is installed correctly and maintained then it will last for years.

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: If the house is wired with aluminum and you never had any problems with the wiring. it is "probably" better to leave it, and add other electrical safety devices for better protection. Otherwise it is recommended to rewire the home with copper wiring.
