Special Reports: Shocking truth revealed

Did you know that according to the U.S. government, electrical problems are responsible for more than 67,759 home fires each year?

Did you also know electrical wiring causes twice as many home fires as electrical appliances?

With this in mind, it's time you knew the shocking truth about aluminum vs. copper wiring.

1. Aluminum doesn't conduct electricity as well as copper wiring.
2. Aluminum is more brittle than copper wiring.
3. Aluminum is more likely to corrode that copper wiring.
4. Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper wiring running a much higher risk of overheating ... the primary cause of electrical fires.

So, why have hundreds of thousands of homes been built using aluminum wiring? And why do 99.9% of most electrical contractors still choose to use aluminum wiring, not copper?

Aluminum is cheaper.

Yes, copper is safer, but aluminum costs less.

That's why the first (and possibly most inflammatory) question you should ask any electrician before he does work in your home is this:

"Do you use copper or aluminum wiring?"
