The Truth About Aluminum Wiring
Single-strand aluminum wiring was widely installed between 1965 and 1972 due to high copper prices. Aluminum expands and contracts much more than copper under electrical load, causing loose connections at switches and outlets, oxidation, and intense heat generation.
According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), homes with aluminum wiring are 55 times more likely to have one or more wire connections reach fire hazard conditions.
