Have Aluminum Wiring in Your Home? Ask Us about the AlumiConn Connector

Dependable Service Since 1926

There is a handful of home repairs that homeowners never want to hear they need: sewer or water line replacement, anything having to do with foundation work and re-wiring. One of the most common reasons a home need to be re-wired is because of aluminum wiring. During the 1960s, the cost of copper became very high. In an effort to help homeowners reduce costs, aluminum wiring was introduced. Unfortunately, aluminum was a poor choice of metal for the job. The result has been that homes with aluminum wiring have needed re-wiring to be safe and insurable. But the electrical experts from Bell Plumbing and Heating have another option: using an AlumiConn connector.

Why Aluminum Is Bad for Wiring

When electricity runs through metal, it generates heat. The trick is finding a metal to use for wiring that won’t get too hot while the electricity travels along the wire. Copper does not get too hot, which is why it is still the top choice for electrical wiring. Aluminum does become too hot; in fact, it can get so hot it will melt any protective coating around it and has the capability to start a fire. This is why aluminum wiring is a bad a choice for electrical wiring in your home.
