Aluminum Wiring

Most homeowners around Windsor and Essex County have heard that aluminum wiring can be a problem, but few actually know why. If your home was built in the 1960’s or 70’s, there is a good chance that there is aluminum wiring hiding somewhere.

The problem lies in how aluminum reacts to temperature changes. It expands and contracts faster than copper, and with how the temperature in Windsor-Essex can change so quickly, that constant expansion and contraction can cause electrical connections to come loose over time. What does a loose connection mean? Ultimately, it means more heat is generated, posing a huge fire risk!
