How much does it cost to change from aluminum wiring to copper wiring?

The house I want to buy is 1,464 sq ft but has aluminum wiring. How much does it cost to change it to copper. It also has a partial basement. thanks (:How much does it cost to change from aluminum wiring to copper wiring?To change from Aluminum wiring to copper will cost a fair bit of money but will make any contractor happy to get the job because there will be surprises that will pop up during the job that will be above the original estimate--- the problem with aluminum (AL) wiring is not the wire but the connections at the receptacles and switches--AL wire has the characteristic of shrinking when under pressure-- so over time the connection under the screws of plugs and switches will have small gaps that form that may cause sparking-- especially those plugs under constant use --kitchens and bathrooms--there is a fix for this-- which you can do if you are handy or an electrician can do without having to spend upwards of $4000-5000-- shut power off to circuits being worked on and remove all the plugs and switches on that circuit--- the fix is to put a piece of 14gauge solid copper wire around 6%26quot;--on the AL wire coming out of the box using a special anti-oxidant goop-- from a electrical wholesaler-- made by Crouse -Hinds or Ideal industries---and using a special wire connector intended for use with both AL/CU(copper) wire then wrapping the connector with electrical tape-- and put the copper wire on NEW plugs and or switches-- you will need both white coloured wire, black colured wire and red coloured wire for your split receptacles in your kitchen and any 3-way light switches you may have--I would start in the kitchen first and then the bathrooms and make the fix over time-- the cost of the wire --any home big box outfit will have it 14/3 14gauge wire copper-- 50 feet maybe--$30--new receptacles anywhere from$1-- to $3 depending on style and colour--same with switches-- the panel needs to be looked at and all screws from breakers and neutral bar and ground bar will need to be tightened down--- so this is a safe fix if done correctly and much cheaper-- because to re-wire your home every fixture will need to be replaced-- fans-- stove exhaust and it goes on--- been there done that--good luckHow much does it cost to change from aluminum wiring to copper wiring?Call or E-mail atleast 3 electrical contractors in your area and request a min %26amp; max est to rewire a 1,464 sq ft home good luck!!How much does it cost to change from aluminum wiring to copper wiring?I live in a house built in 1976 with aluminium wire, and have no problems with the wiring!How much does it cost to change from aluminum wiring to copper wiring?It will cost you an arm and a leg.
