A Brief History Of Aluminum
Wiring
Between 1965 and 1972, approximately
2 million homes were constructed
with aluminum wiring. The wiring
that is of major concern is the
single strand solid aluminum wiring,
connected to the smaller branch
circuits supplying receptacles,
switches, lights, and appliances
such as dishwashers, furnaces, etc.
Corrosion of the metals in the
connection, particularly the
aluminum wire itself, causes
increased resistance to the flow of
electric current and that resistance
causes overheating. Most modern
homes have some aluminum wiring,
including the main service wires,
and the heavier 240 volt circuits
that feed other major appliances,
such as ranges and air conditioners.
The higher voltage wiring does not
present the same risk as 15, 20 and
30 amp circuit wiring.
Signs of trouble in aluminum wire
circuitry include:
Cover plates on outlets or
switches that are
warm-to-the-touch.
Circuits that do not work, or
work intermittently.
Flickering lights.
The smell of burning plastic at
outlets, switches, or lighting.
Smoking outlets, switches, or
lighting.
Tripping circuit breakers, for
no apparent reason.
Unfortunately, not all failing
aluminum wired connections provide
such easily detected warning signs,
as they can fail without any prior
indications or problems. Contact us
