    • Is my Aluminum Wiring Safe?

      While the wiring itself is safe, the use of aluminum wiring in homes can lead to complications as it deteriorates over time. In the 60s and 70s, aluminum wiring was used in many homes across the country. Over time, aluminum oxidizes and heat can build at points where the wiring is not properly terminated. This can lead to fire hazards. If you are concerned about aluminum wiring in your home or business, please get in touch with John K. McCraw Electrical today.
