Aluminum Branch Wiring
Single-strand aluminum wiring used in branch circuits (15 and 20 amp) primarily between 1965 and 1973.
The Implication
Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper, leading to loose connections, arcing, and potential fire hazard at receptacles and switches.
Repair Strategy
Evaluate by a licensed electrician. Common remedies include alumiconn connectors, copalum crimps, or complete rewiring.
