Should I Replace the Aluminum Wiring in My Home?
Aluminum wiring was commonly used in the 1960s and 70s but has a higher risk of overheating and loose connections compared to copper. If your home has aluminum wiring, it’s best to have an electrician inspect it. If it’s in good condition, regular monitoring may be enough. But if it shows signs of wear, rewiring with copper is often the safest option.
