Yes, aluminum wiring in older homes can be a fire hazard due to its tendency to loosen at connections and oxidize over time, which creates heat. This is a well-known issue in many San Francisco neighborhoods. We specialize in evaluating and remedying aluminum wiring hazards. Solutions can include installing special connectors (CO/ALR devices) at every outlet and switch or, in some cases, recommending a partial rewire with copper for critical circuits to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and reliable.
