Default Re: shop and home wiring advice?

I agree with turbine on this one.
If done correctly the aluminum will last just as long as copper.
Just make sure to use the paste on connections
and avoid moisture.
If I recall my electrical training, a copper to aluminum connection
without paste will break down in 25 to 50 years,
with paste, the connection is like a like metal connection.
