What is aluminum wiring and is it dangerous?

Aluminum branch circuit wiring installed in homes built between 1965–1973 is a fire hazard, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Many Washington, DC homes from that era contain aluminum wiring in walls and ceilings. Aluminum expands and contracts differently than copper connections, loosening over time and causing fires. Licensed electricians can remediate aluminum wiring by pigtailing individual circuits with copper or performing a full rewire. Have a licensed electrician inspect your Washington home immediately if you suspect aluminum wiring.

How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be replaced?

Replace your electrical panel in Washington immediately if you notice breakers constantly tripping, burning smells near the panel, insufficient amperage under 200A, defective brands (Zinsco, Federal Pacific, Pushmatic), or panels over 30–40 years old.
