I've moved into a house build in 1971 which is wired mainly with
aluminum wiring. I've read a handful of published information that
states that aluminum wiring (or more correctly, the connections made
with aluminum wiring) do in fact create a fire hazard greater than
copper wire. I also know that a lot of people state that aluminum
wiring does not pose any greater risk than copper if done properly.
What I'm interested in is what is "done properly" and have there been
tests done on such "proper" wiring methods to prove that they do in
fact pose no increased fire hazard?

So in other words, what I'm looking for is published (on paper,
internet, etc.) information from reputable sources that would refute
the claims made by the information that I've already read making
aluminum out to be a fire hazard. A lot of the information I've read
so far can be found at www.inspect-ny.com/aluminum.htm

Thanks for the input,
Harry
