In the late 1960s and early 70s, aluminum wiring was installed in millions of American homes — including thousands along the Gulf Coast. It was cheap, plentiful, and seemed like the perfect alternative to copper. Then the house fires began.

In this episode of Wired Right, Stu digs deep into the real history of aluminum branch-circuit wiring, why it failed, documented case studies, how inspectors look for it today, and what homeowners should do if their home was built between 1965–1975.

You’ll learn:
• Why aluminum wiring became popular after copper shortages
• The physics of why aluminum fails at terminals
• CO/ALR vs. regular devices
• Notorious case examples & documented fire data
• What insurance companies look for
• When a whole-home rewire is the right call
