Aluminum wiring itself is not unsafe, however it is the connections(splices and terminations) where the hazard is found. Performing repairs on aluminum wiring is not recommended as proper re-splicing and terminating techniques are more complicated than standard procedures. Repairs to aluminum can save you from a fire, additionally it can actually save you money on your insurance policy!
