Aluminium Wiring
We just bought an older home built in the 70's we are planning on renovating. We had the building inspection and it turns out it has aluminum wiring, common to this area.
The building inspector assured us it was safe, however we contacted a certified electrician to do an inspection. He also confirmed that it is safe and will provide us ESA certificate for the insurance company.
I have a few days before I finalize the transaction, the wiring is really worrying me. Is anyone familiar with aluminium wiring? Although, both inspector and electrician told me not too worry, I'm still concerned it may affect resale value if we ever go to sell.
What are your thoughts, anyone have experience with this?
