Aluminum Wiring & Panel Capacity in Ballwin's Mid-Century Homes 

Ballwin's development timeline puts a significant portion of its housing stock directly in the aluminum wiring era. Homes built between the mid-1960s and early 1970s have a substantial likelihood of aluminum branch-circuit wiring. Aluminum connections loosen over time as the wire expands and contracts with temperature changes, creating resistance and heat at the points where fires are most likely to start.
