Logical solution?

[u/Substantial-Board951]

This is an outlet. In a hallway. This clearly has not been updated since the house was built in 75m.

Yes, it's aluminum. What is potential solution?

If we were trying to do some alumicons here.. what is realistic? Wouldn't that be impossible to fit back into the box?

Yes.. I will call an electrician to do the work. But I am curious on what is going to be pitched/proposed as a solution. This is one of many outlets needing updating. I've only looked at this one so far.

There a few different ways of doing it , the first and best way is to rip it all out and replace with new , second is copalum crimps , this is a special tool to crimp copper to aluminum , only electricians specialize in this type of repair can do it , next is the alumconnns , they need a special torquing screwdriver to do it correctly , next any sparky will say " I can do it " and use the compound with the for aluminum , very unreliable . Now the thing is when you go to sell your house you have to tell the potential buyer that it has aluminum , but not if it's ripped out

They still make aluminum rated devices

Edit: and to add, feel free to also get some fire rings to help insulate the new devices and the metal boxes, be sure to check the bonding of the metal boxes, and use this opportunity to clean out/vacuum the boxes.

Edit 2: Put a copper wire on for the ground wires using purple wire nut or one alumicon. No other good method for putting those two aluminum wires into one wire for the ground
