My house has copper wires throughout--except for the aluminum

Answered by Frederick Page, engineer: The feeder would be fine as long as it was put in by an electrician who was trained and had the right tools and terminals. That is what the public utility put in my house. Trouble occurs when the aluminum wire is used in the walls and terminated under brass screws on switches, receptacles, or other fixtures.
