Aluminum Wiring Remediation

Safe Wiring Solutions by Expert Electricians

Trust the licensed, bonded, and insured electricians at Bolt Electric for aluminum wiring remediation. Aluminum wiring is 55 times more likely to result in fires compared to residences wired with copper. 

While the problem isn’t with the wiring itself, as aluminum wiring is mostly safe, the trouble lies in the connections when receptacles or conductors are installed incorrectly. These connectors are prone to oxidize from the use of dissimilar metals in the copper and aluminum connections. Oxidation, in turn, weakens the connection, thus creating the potential for an electrical fire.

Aluminum was, and is, considerably cheaper than copper. Before the 1970s, it was the best non-copper conductor of electricity available. However, it is a softer metal, making it inferior to copper. Also, as it is heated, it expands, which could lead to the wire detaching from the screw holding it in place.
