Homes built in the 1960s and 70s often used aluminum wiring as a cost-saving alternative to copper. While it met code at the time, aluminum wiring has proven to be a serious fire hazard due to its tendency to overheat, oxidize, and loosen at connections over time. If your home still contains aluminum wiring, replacing or correcting it is one of the smartest safety upgrades you can make.

 

At In Control Electric, we specialize in aluminum wiring replacement and remediation throughout the Northern Front Range and Denver Metro area. Our licensed electricians help homeowners reduce fire risk, meet insurance requirements, and bring outdated electrical systems up to modern safety standards.

 

Why Aluminum Wiring Is a Problem:

• Overheating Risks: Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper, loosening connections and increasing the chance of overheating.
• Oxidation & Corrosion: Aluminum wiring is more prone to corrosion, which can degrade conductivity and create hot spots.
• Incompatibility with Modern Devices: Many modern electrical devices are not designed to handle aluminum connections safely.
• Home Insurance Concerns: Some insurers may deny coverage or charge higher premiums if aluminum wiring is present.
