Why aluminum wiring is a problem
Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper, loosening at terminals and creating arcing hot spots — a leading cause of house fires in homes of that era.
Warning signs
Warm cover plates, flickering lights, a plastic smell at outlets and frequent bulb burnout.
Option 1: Full rewire
Replacing aluminum branch circuits with copper is the permanent solution and improves insurability.
Option 2: COPALUM or AlumiConn remediation
Approved connectors at every termination mitigate the hazard at lower cost.
Insurance implications
Many Texas insurers require remediation or a rewire for homes with aluminum wiring.
