What is aluminum wiring and is it dangerous?

Aluminum branch circuit wiring installed in homes built between 1965–1973 is a fire hazard due to oxidation and poor connection integrity. Homes in Sainte-Julie's Humid Continental region commonly have aluminum wiring from that era, increasing fire risk at outlets and switches. Remediation requires either pigtailing (copper connectors at terminations for CAD $500–CAD $1,500) or full rewiring (CAD $3,000–CAD $8,000+). Licensed electricians test wiring safety and recommend solutions. Many insurance companies charge higher premiums or deny coverage for unpermitted aluminum wiring problems in Sainte-Julie.

Signs include flickering lights during high-load periods, warm panel surfaces, or corrosion. A licensed electrician inspection costs CAD $150–CAD $300 and identifies whether replacement or repair suits your home.
