House in GTA with aluminium wiring
I have an opportunity to purchase a 1970's era house in Scarborough (ON) that has aluminium wiring. I have done some research and understand that aluminium wiring carries a slightly higher risk of house fires compared to copper wiring.
Are there any issues with getting house insurance for this house?
Also, is there any urgency to replace this with copper wiring? I am thinking this would be a horrendous cost.
Many thanks for all advice.
