Doug Diller Topic Author Offline Premium Member Posts: 102 Thank you received: 0	I just inspected a house built in about 1981. Almost all the wires were copper except for the two circuits that control the heater and range. They appeared to have aluminume wiring. Other then calling it out as aluminume is there anything else I should do? Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

It's solid strand aluminum which is problematic and should be called out for further evaluation. Your picture shows multistrand and is not an issue.

Did they use jelly at the connection lugs? Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
