Homes built between 1965 and 1973 may contain aluminum branch-circuit wiring that poses a significant fire risk. Bell Spark Electrical provides safe, code-approved aluminum wiring remediation for homeowners throughout Lealman, FL.
Aluminum branch-circuit wiring was commonly installed in homes built during the late 1960s and early 1970s when copper prices were high. While aluminum conducts electricity adequately, it has physical properties that cause it to expand and contract more than copper, loosen at connections over time, and oxidize in ways that increase electrical resistance and create heat. This combination of factors makes improperly maintained aluminum wiring a serious fire hazard.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has identified homes with aluminum wiring as significantly more likely to experience wiring-related fire hazards than homes with copper wiring. If your Lealman, FL home was built between 1965 and 1973, there is a good chance it contains aluminum wiring and a professional inspection is strongly recommended.
