Does your home need AlumiConn?

 AlumiConn connectors are used to address safety concerns in homes that have aluminum wiring. 

Here's why you might need it:

1. Aluminum wiring safety: Homes built between 1965 and 1973 often used aluminum wiring, which can pose fire hazards due to its tendency to oxidize and expand/contract with temperature changes.
2. Connection issues: These characteristics of aluminum can lead to loose connections, overheating, and potentially fires at outlets, switches, and other connection points.
3. Safe transition: AlumiConn connectors provide a safe way to connect aluminum wiring to copper wiring or devices, which is the current standard.
4. Code compliance: In many areas, homes with aluminum wiring need to be updated to meet current safety codes. AlumiConn is often an approved method for this.
5. Alternative to complete rewiring: Installing AlumiConn connectors can be a more cost-effective solution than completely rewiring a house with copper.
6. Homeowners insurance: Some insurers may refuse coverage altogether for homes with aluminum wiring due to the perceived risk. If coverage is offered, it's often at a higher premium due to the increased fire risk associated with aluminum wiring. 
7. FHA Loans: The FHA requires that homes with aluminum wiring undergo a thorough inspection. If issues are found, they must be addressed. The FHA generally accepts two main remediation methods: a) Complete replacement of aluminum wiring with copper wiring which is very costly & time consuming, or b) Installation of approved AlumiConn connectors at all connection points.
