Aluminum branch circuit wiring installed in homes built between 1965–1973 is a fire hazard. Aluminum expands and contracts differently than copper, creating loose connections that overheat and ignite insulation. Many older Brentwood homes contain this wiring. Remediation involves either pigtailing (copper connections at outlets) costing £500–£1,500, or full rewire at £4,000–£8,000. A licensed electrician inspection identifies aluminum wiring quickly.
