Aluminum wiring is a type of wiring used in houses, power grids, and airplanes. Aluminum provides a better conductivity to weight ratio than copper, and therefore is used in power wiring of some aircraft. Utility companies have used aluminum wire for electrical transmission in power grids since the early 1900s.It has cost and weight advantages over copper wires.n the mid-1960s when the price of copper spiked, aluminum wire was manufactured in sizes small enough to use in homes. Aluminum wire requires a larger wire gauge than copper to carry the same current. When first used in branch circuit wiring, aluminum wire was installed the same way as copper.
