Aluminum Wiring Upgrades Okotoks
If your older home was built between the early 1960s to mid- 1970s and hasn't had any electrical upgrades, it most likely has aluminum wiring.
Even if you haven't had any known electrical problems, the phrase, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," does not apply to aluminum wiring! Aluminum wire has a high risk of causing house fires due to its properties. It's a weak metal, more susceptible to breakage than copper. It expands more than copper, causing loose connections and overheating, and it corrodes. Corroded aluminum wire can easily overheat, increasing the risk of an electrical fire.
Replacing aluminum wire with copper wire reduces the risk of an electrical fire dramatically. Bull Creek Electric can inspect your aluminum wiring, and complete upgrades to make your electrical system safe.
