Anytime there is s solution to the problem everyone wants to find a way to

and Mr.Fix it ate bigger problems when it comes to aluminum wiring.There's a
reason why you need to be a licensed electrician and certified in this
process.Aluminum wiring because of it's characteristics needs to be handled
gingerly with proper syrippers so as not to nick wire which is an altogether
different problem than joining 2 dissimilar materials.Anyway would you use a
janitor to to perform surgery or terminate high voltage cables .don't think
so.I am an electrician certified with Tyco Amp for copalum remediation.I have
seen so many botched jobs from homeowners and uneducated electricians when it
comes to aluminum remediation using purple twisters and alumicon connectors
because of nicked wiresand trying to jam more wires than the allowed by these
2 methods.Wires are burnt and then cut shorter because of previous fix
attempt. Get it done right once and hire a qualified electrician.What price do
you put on safety?

Nobody has actually found a problem using CoALr devices when properly
installed but hype has taken over the whole conversation.
Most of the aluminum problems could actually be traced to bad
workmanship and the houses that were going to burn down, already have.
They are 40-50 years old now. Just about the time when the industry
came up with the fixes for aluminum wire, (better alloys and better
devices) they stopped using it.
I also reject most of the dissimilar arguments too. It is very hard to
find a lug that isn't aluminum and we put copper wire in them every
day. (No Goo) The issue was coefficient of expansion in a screw
binding terminal and they fixed it with a different screw in CoALr
device.
