Aluminum branch circuit wiring installed in homes built between 1965–1973 is a significant fire hazard.

Remediation involves either pigtailing copper wires to outlets or full rewiring. A licensed electrician can identify aluminum wiring during an inspection (£150–£300) and recommend the safest solution for your Ewell home.
