Aluminum wiring is most commonly found in homes that were built in the 60s and 70s. The cost of copper during that time was much higher, so builders switched to aluminum for their electrical system. Physically, the only way to tell if a wire is copper or aluminum is to check the cables themselves. If the outer jacket has "Al" printed on it, that means you do have aluminum wiring.
However, even though you might not notice a difference, and even though aluminum functions well as an electrical conductor, it puts you at risk for electrical fires. This is why we offer commercial and residential electrical repair for customers in Springfield, MO.
Our trained and licensed electrician from our team can come in and replace the aluminum wiring with modern options that are safe and even more efficient.
