    We're in the process of selling our house and the buyer's inspector flagged aluminum wiring in some of the outlets. I've heard horror stories about aluminum wiring being a fire hazard but I have no idea what the actual risk is or what needs to be done. Our realtor said we should get an expert licensed electrician in Palo Alto CA to evaluate it but I'm not sure if that's just a sales pitch or a real concern. Has anyone dealt with this before? Did you have to rewire the whole house or is there a cheaper fix like pigtailing with copper? I'm trying to figure out how much this is going to cost us and whether we can negotiate with the buyer. Any advice from someone who's been through this would be really helpful because I'm kind of panicking about the whole thing.
