Why Rewiring is Necessary
In the middle of the 20th century, some houses used aluminum wire instead of copper for electrical wiring. However, the installation methods for aluminum wire were the same as those for copper wire, which caused various issues.
Aluminum wiring deteriorates over time. Unlike copper wiring, which forms a conductive layer of rust, aluminum wiring does not oxidize in a way that enhances its conductivity. As a result, aluminum wiring becomes less efficient and fails to provide enough power to your appliances, especially those that require high energy consumption such as air conditioners and smart home automation systems.
Compared to copper, aluminum has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion, which means the wires can shift more when the temperature changes. This can create hazardous conditions for electrical sparks and fires.
