Benefits of Replacing Aluminum Wiring With Copper Wiring

Resilient

Aluminum wiring is far less resilient than copper wiring, so if it experiences any form of overheating, things could go wrong very quickly. Given that aluminum has a significantly lower melting point than copper wiring, excessive heat can quickly hurt the aluminum conductor inside your wiring.

Efficient

Because aluminum is generally less dense than copper, it conducts electricity less efficiently than copper wiring. Aluminum wiring tends to be less dense and flexible than copper wiring, which also influences its level of conductivity when you hire a professional electrician to work on your aluminum wiring.

Conductivity

Aluminum wiring just can’t compete with copper wiring in terms of pure conductivity. In other words, you simply can’t channel the same amount of electricity through aluminum wiring as you would be able to transfer through copper wiring of the same size. Aluminum wiring has a volume conductivity that is less than what you can expect from copper wiring of the same gauge. A bigger gauge of aluminum wiring is typically used to compensate for this. In turn, the additional wiring does tend to take up more room.

Less Corrosive

In addition to everything mentioned above, copper wiring is far less resistant to corrosion than aluminum wiring. Aluminum wiring has a propensity to corrode over time, and this corrosion may easily work its way into the gaps between your wiring and any other form of metal, damaging the conductivity of your aluminum wiring. On the other hand, copper wiring doesn’t corrode in the same way making is long lasting alternative to aluminum wiring.
