Multifamily Aluminum Wiring
Does anyone have experience dealing with the apartment complexes built in 1970s with aluminum wire?
One question is the resale issues anticipated and how the aluminum wiring affects desirability/marketability and value.
Another question is what is the rough cost per unit (approx 1000sf) to rewire with copper wire? I know this is a question for an electrician but thought I would post for someone who's done this. This is 120 units with all aluminum wire.

Check with the local codes, but we changed all of the outlets and switches with pigtailed ones, and this satisfied both the city and the insurance company. This will cost a lot less then rewiring.
