Aluminum branch circuit wiring installed in New York homes built between 1965–1973 is a fire hazard, according to U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission findings. Aluminum oxidizes over time, causing loose connections, heat buildup, and electrical fires at outlet boxes and switches. Two remediation options exist: copper pigtailing (wrapping aluminum wires with copper at connections, $1,500–$3,000) or full rewiring (replacing all aluminum wiring, $8,000–$15,000). Licensed electricians in New York can inspect your home for aluminum wiring.
